Thank you for choosing this Mitsubishi Electric inverter option unit.
This Instruction Manual provides handling information and precautions for use of this product. Incorrect handling might cause an unexpected
fault. Before using this product, always read this Instruction Manual carefully to use this product correctly.
Please forward this Instruction Manual to the end user.
Electric shock prevention
Additional instructions
The following instructions must be also followed. If the product is handled incorrectly, it may cause unexpected fault, an injury, or an electric
shock.
Safety instructions
Do not attempt to install, operate, maintain or inspect the product until you have read through this Instruction Manual and supplementary
documents carefully and can use the equipment correctly. Do not use this product until you have a full knowledge of this product mechanism,
safety information and instructions. In this Instruction Manual, the safety instruction levels are classified into "Warning" and "Caution".
Incorrect handling may cause hazardous conditions, resulting in death or severe injury.
Incorrect handling may cause hazardous conditions, resulting in medium or slight injury, or may cause only material
damage.
The level may even lead to a serious consequence according to conditions. Both instruction levels must be followed
because these are important to personal safety.
Warning
Do not remove the front cover or the wiring cover of the inverter while the inverter power is ON. Do not operate the inverter with any cover or wiring cover removed,
as accidental contact with exposed high-voltage terminals and internal components may occur, resulting in an electrical shock.
Do not remove the inverter front cover even if the power supply is disconnected. The only exception for this would be when performing wiring and periodic
inspection. You may accidentally touch the charged inverter circuits and get an electric shock.
Before wiring or inspection, LED indication of the inverter unit operation panel must be switched OFF. Any person who is involved in wiring or inspection shall wait
for at least 10 minutes after the power supply has been switched OFF and check that there is no residual voltage using a tester or the like. For some time after the
power-OFF, a high voltage remains in the smoothing capacitor, and it is dangerous.
Any person who is involved in wiring or inspection of this product shall be fully competent to do the work.
Do not touch the operation panel or handle the cables with wet hands. Otherwise you may get an electric shock.
Do not subject the cables to scratches, excessive stress, heavy loads or pinching. Otherwise you may get an electric shock.
Caution
Transportation and mounting
Do not install or operate the operation panel if it is damaged or has parts missing.
Do not stand or rest heavy objects on the product.
Warning

Caution
Transportation and mounting
The mounting orientation must be correct.
The surrounding air temperature must be between -10 to +50°C (non-freezing). Otherwise the inverter may be damaged.
The surrounding humidity must be 90% RH or less (non-condensing) for the FR-LU08, and 95% RH or less (non-condensing) for the FR-LU08-01. Otherwise the
inverter may be damaged.
The storage temperature (applicable for a short time, such as during transit) must be between -20 to +65°C. Otherwise the inverter may be damaged.
The inverter must be used indoors (without corrosive gas, flammable gas, oil mist, dust and dirt etc.) Otherwise the inverter may be damaged.
Do not use this product at an altitude above 2500 m. Vibration should not exceed 2.9 m/s2at 10 to 55 Hz in X, Y, and Z directions. Otherwise the inverter may be
damaged.
If halogens (including fluorine, chlorine, bromine, and iodine) contained in fumigants for wood packages enter this product, the product may be damaged. Prevent
the entry of fumigant residuals or use an alternative method such as heat disinfection. Note that sterilization of disinfection of wood packages should be performed
before packing the product.
Trial run
Before starting operation, each parameter must be confirmed and adjusted. A failure to do so may cause some machines to make unexpected motions.
Warning
Usage
Since pressing the STOP/RESET key of the operation panel may not stop output depending on the function setting status, separate circuit and switch that make an
emergency stop (power OFF, mechanical brake operation for emergency stop, etc.) must be provided.
OFF status of the start signal must be confirmed before resetting an inverter fault. Resetting an inverter fault with the start signal ON restarts the motor suddenly.
Do not modify the equipment.
Do not perform parts removal which is not instructed in this manual. Doing so may lead to fault or damage of the product.
Caution
Usage
When parameter clear or all parameter clear is performed, the required parameters must be set again before starting operations because all parameters return to
the initial value.
Static electricity in your body must be discharged before you touch the product.
Disposal
The product must be treated as industrial waste.
General instruction
Many of the diagrams and drawings in this Instruction Manual show the inverter without a cover or partially open for explanation. Never operate the inverter in this
manner. The cover must be reinstalled and the instructions in the Instruction Manual must be followed when operating the inverter.

 IPX5 refers to protection of the operation panel functions against water jets from any direction when about 12.5-liter water is injected from a nozzle with an inside
diameter of 6.3 mm from the distance of about 3 m for at least 3 minutes.
 IP5X refers to protection of the operation panel functions and maintenance of safety when the inverter is put into a stirring device containing dust of 75 m or
smaller in diameter, stirred for 8 hours, and then removed from the device.
 Water here refers to fresh water at room temperature (5 to 35°C).
 Indoor here refers to the environments that are not affected by climate conditions.
Caution
Waterproof and dustproof performances of FR-LU08-01
When securely fixed to the inverter with screws, the operation panel (FR-LU08-01) is rated IPX5 waterproof rating and IP5X dustproof rating.
The items enclosed with the FR-LU08-01 such as the Instruction Manual are not rated with the IPX5 waterproof or IP5X dustproof ratings.
Although the FR-LU08-01 (except for the connector) is rated with the IPX5 waterproof and IP5X dustproof ratings, it is not intended for use in water.
Also, the ratings do not guarantee protection of the FR-LU08-01 from needless submersion in water or being washed under strong running water such as a shower.
Do not pour or apply the following liquids over the FR-LU08-01: water containing soap, detergent, or bath additives; sea water; swimming pool water; warm water;
boiling water; etc.
The FR-LU08-01 is intended for indoor installation and not for outdoor installation. Avoid places where the FR-LU08-01 is subjected to direct sunlight, rain, sleet,
snow, or freezing temperatures.
If the screws of the FR-LU08-01 are not tightened, or if the FR-LU08-01 is damaged or deformed, the IPX5 waterproof performance and the IP5X dustproof
performance are impaired. If any abnormalities are found on the FR-LU08-01, ask for an inspection and repair.
To maintain the waterproof and dustproof performances of the FR-LU08-01, daily and periodic inspections are recommended regardless of the presence or
absence of abnormalities.

2.1.2 Using the real time clock function
With a battery (CR1216), time counting of the FR-LU08(-01) continues even when the main power of the inverter is turned OFF
(real time clock function). For how to install the backup battery, refer to page 15.
• When the battery is installed in the FR-LU08(-01), its time is written to the inverter at power-ON (except the first power-ON
after the battery is installed).
• When the battery is not installed, the FR-LU08(-01) reads the time from the inverter and starts time counting.
