Other Important Precautions
Pay attention to the following items. Failure to do so
can result in damage of inverter and/or electrical
shock.
Handling and installation
1. Handle according to the weight of product.
Failure to do so can result in damage to product.
2. Do not stack inverters beyond listed
specifications.
3. Install according to specifications listed within
this manual.
4. Do not apply power to a damaged inverter or to
an inverter with missing components.
5. Do not open front cover while carrying inverter.
6. Do not place heavy items on inverter.
7. Installation orientation must follow specifications
listed within this manual.
8. Do not allow conducted material such as screws,
metal objects, water, or oil to enter interior of
inverter.
9. Do not drop or inflict intense impact to inverter.
10. Install and operate inverter only under specified
conditions.
11. Use hoist or crane for moving and installing iH
series inverter.
Wiring
1. Do not connect Power Factor capacitors, surge
suppressors, or RFI filters to output circuits.
2. Connect the output terminals (U, V, W) according
to specifications.
Operation
1. CAUTION: When the retry function is selected
the inverter restarts after an alarm stop.
2. Stop key on keypad can only be used when stop
key function is set. Install separate emergency
stop switch if required.
3. When run signal is received, inverter restarts
only when alarm contents have been reset.
Verify run signal before resetting alarm.
4. Do not start or stop inverter using
electromagnetic switch installed in power input
circuit.
5. Do not modify or alter anything inside inverter.
6. CAUTION: Motor might not be protected by
electronic thermal function of inverter.
7. Install noise filter to minimize potential noise
interference on equipment installed near
inverter.
8. In case of input voltage unbalance, install AC
reactor. Power Factor capacitors and generators
may become overheated and damaged due to
potential high frequency noise transmitted from
inverter.
9. Use an insulation-rectified motor or take
measures to suppress the micro surge voltage
when driving 400V class motor with inverter. A
micro surge voltage attributable to wiring
constant is generated at motor terminals, and
may deteriorate insulation and damage motor
10. Before operating unit and prior to user
programming, reset user parameters to default
settings
11. Inverter can easily be set to high-speed
operations, Verify capability of motor or
machinery prior to operating unit.
12. Stopping torque is not produced when using the
DC-Break function.Install separate equipment
when stopping torque is needed.
13. Not Provided with Over Speed Protection.
Fault Prevention Precautions
Install additional safety equipment, such as
emergency brakes, to prevent uncontrolled
machine operation from a damaged inverter.
Maintenance, Inspection, and
Exchanging Components
1. Do not conduct megger test (insulation
resistance measurement) of control circuitry in
inverter.
2. Refer to Chapter 6for routine inspection
methods.
General Precautions
The diagrams in this manual may show removed
inverter covers and removed circuit breakers. Prior to
operating unit, be sure to restore covers and circuit
breakers according to specifications.
