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. Otherwise you may access the exposed high voltage terminals or the charging part of the circuitry and get an electric
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.
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 supplementary
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 the ones 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. Touching these devices may cause
burns
CAUTION
Transportation and mounting
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.
Foreign conductive objects must be prevented from entering the inverter. That includes screws and metal fragments or other flammable
substance such as oil.
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 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
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.

4
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 their initial values.
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.
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.

Check that the inverter's input power and the control circuit power are both OFF.
2.2 Installation procedure
Installing the option
The FR-E800 series inverter has only one plug-in option connector.
NOTE
• Ensure the control circuit terminals are wired before installing the plug-in option. They cannot be wired after the plug-in
option is installed.
• When installing the plug-in option, prevent cables being caught between parts. Otherwise the inverter and the option may be
damaged.
CAUTION
• Do not install or remove this product while the inverter power is ON. Doing so may damage the inverter or this product.
• To avoid damage due to static electricity, static electricity in your body must be discharged before you touch the product.

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 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 on either side, and then pull it straight out. Pressure applied to
the option connector and to the option board may break the option.

18 INSTALLATION
2.3 Wiring
1. For the wiring, strip off the sheath of a cable, and use it with a blade terminal. For a single wire, strip off the sheath of the
wire and apply directly. Insert the blade 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 it.
Crimp the blade terminal.
Insert wires to a blade terminal, and check that the wires come out for about 0 to 0.5 mm.
Check the condition of the blade terminal after crimping. Do not use a blade terminal of which the crimping is
inappropriate, or the face is damaged.

CAUTION
• After wiring, wire offcuts must not be left in the inverter. They may cause a fault, failure or malfunction.
