Safety instructions
Thank you for choosing this Mitsubishi Electric inverter plug-in option.
This Instruction Manual provides handling information and precautions for use of this product. Incorrect handling might cause an unexpected
fault. Before using this product, read all relevant instruction manuals carefully to ensure proper use.
Please forward this Instruction Manual to the end user.
Electric Shock Prevention
WARNING
Do not remove the front cover or the wiring cover while the power of the inverter is ON, and do not run the inverter with the front cover or the
wiring cover removed, as the exposed high voltage terminals or the charging part of the circuitry can be touched. Doing so may cause an
electric shock.
Even if power is OFF, do not remove the front cover of the inverter except for wiring or periodic inspection, as the inside of the inverter is
charged. Doing so may cause an electric shock.
Before wiring or inspection, check that the LED display of the operation panel is 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.
The plug-in option must be installed before wiring. Otherwise you may get an electric shock or be injured.
Do not touch the plug-in option or handle the cables with wet hands. Doing so may cause an electric shock.
Do not subject the cables to scratches, excessive stress, heavy loads or pinching. Doing so may cause an electric shock.
WARNING 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.
Do not attempt to install, operate, maintain or inspect this product until you have read this Instruction Manual and appended documents
carefully. 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".
CAUTION
Note that even the level may lead to a serious consequence depending on conditions. Be sure to follow the
instructions of both levels as they are critical to personnel safety.
CAUTION

Injury 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.
CAUTION
The voltage applied to each terminal must be as specified in the Instruction Manual. Otherwise an explosion or damage may occur.
The cables must be connected to the correct terminals. Otherwise an explosion or damage may occur.
The polarity (+ and -) must be correct. Otherwise an explosion or damage may occur.
While power is ON or for some time after power OFF, do not touch the inverter as it will be extremely hot. Doing so may cause burns.
CAUTION
Transportation and installation
Do not install or operate the plug-in option if it is damaged or has parts missing.
Do not stand or rest heavy objects on the product.
Ensure the mounting orientation of this product is correct.
Prevent conductive items such as screws and metal fragments, or flammable substances such as oil from entering this product.
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 or
disinfection of wood packages should be performed before packing the product.
Trial operation
Before starting operation, confirm or adjust the parameter settings. Failure to do so may cause some machines to make unexpected
motions.
WARNING
Usage
Do not modify the equipment.
Do not remove any part which is not instructed in this manual. Doing so may lead to fault or damage of the product.
CAUTION
Usage
As all parameters return to their initial values after Parameter clear or All parameter clear is performed, the parameters must be set again as
required before the operation is started.
Static electricity in your body must be discharged before you touch the product.
Maintenance, inspection and parts replacement
Do not carry out a megger (insulation resistance) test.
Disposal
The inverter must be treated as industrial waste.

NOTE
• When the junction connector is installed to the plug-in option, the option is fixed with the hooks of the connector. The
junction connector cannot be removed from the plug-in option.
• When removing the front cover for plug-in option from the inverter, note that the recessed neck screw cannot be removed
from the front cover for plug-in option.
• When the body screws of the inverter are removed to install the hexagon spacers (in Step 4 on page 12 or Step 5 on page
14), make sure that the control circuit board does not fall off due to the weight of cables.
• When installing/removing the plug-in option, hold the sides of the option. Do not press on the parts on the option circuit
board. Stress applied to the parts by pressing, etc. may cause a failure.
• Be careful not to drop mounting screws during the installation or removal of the plug-in option.
• When the inverter cannot recognize the option due to improper installation or any other reason, the protective function (E.1)
is activated and the inverter cannot be operated.
• When removing the plug-in option, remove the two screws at the upper left and lower right, and then pull it straight out.
Pressure applied to the option connector and to the option board may break the option.

2.3 Wiring
1. For the wiring, strip off the sheath of a cable, and use it with a crimp terminal. For a single wire, strip off the sheath of the
wire and apply directly. Insert the crimp terminal or the single wire into a socket of the terminal.
Strip off the sheath as shown below. If too much of the wires is stripped, a short circuit may occur with neighboring wires.
If not enough of the wire is stripped, wires may become loose and fall out.
Twist the stripped end of wires to prevent them from fraying. Do not solder them.
Crimp the terminals on the wire.
Insert the wire into a crimp terminal, making sure that 0 to 0.5 mm of the wire protrudes from the end of the sleeve.
Check the condition of the crimp terminals after crimping. Do not use the crimp terminals of which the crimping is
inappropriate, or the face is damaged.
Cable sheath stripping length
CAUTION
• After wiring, wire offcuts must not be left in the inverter. They may cause a fault, failure or malfunction.
