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 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.
Even if power is OFF, do not remove the front cover of the inverter except for wiring or periodic inspection as you may accidentally touch the
charged circuits and get an electric shock.
Before wiring or inspection, check that the display of the inverter operation panel is OFF. Any person who is involved in wiring or inspection
shall wait for 10 minutes or longer after power OFF and check that there are no residual voltage using a tester or the like. The capacitor is
charged with high voltage for some time after power OFF, and it is dangerous.
Any person who is involved in wiring or inspection of this product shall be fully competent to do the work.
This product must be installed before wiring. Otherwise you may get an electric shock or be injured.
Do not touch this product 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.

Injury prevention
Additional instructions
The following instructions must be also followed. If this 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 this product if it is damaged or has parts missing.
Do not stand or place heavy objects on this 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.
Test 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 this product.
Do not remove any part which is not instructed to be removed in the Instruction Manuals. Doing so may lead to a failure or damage of this
product.

4
CAUTION
Usage
As all parameters return to their initial values after Parameter clear or All parameter clear is performed, the needed parameters for operation
of the inverter and this product must be set again before the operation is started.
To avoid damage to this product due to static electricity, static electricity in your body must be discharged before you touch this product.
Maintenance, inspection and parts replacement
Do not carry out a megger (insulation resistance) test.
Disposal
This product must be treated as industrial waste.
General instruction
For clarity purpose, illustrations in this Instruction Manual may be drawn with covers or safety guards removed. Ensure all covers and safety
guards are properly installed prior to starting operation.

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 this product.

16 INSTALLATION AND WIRING
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 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.

2.3 Wiring
1. For the wiring, strip off the sheath of a cable, and use it with a blade terminal. For single wire, the stripped wire can be
used without crimp terminal. Connect the end of wires (crimp terminal or stranded wire) to the terminal block.
Strip the signal wires as shown below. If too much of the wire 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 terminals on the wire.
Insert wires to the crimp terminal, and check that the wires come out for about 0 to 0.5 mm from a 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.
Wire strip length
CAUTION
• After wiring, wire offcuts must not be left in the inverter. They may cause a fault, failure or malfunction.

NOTE
• When using stranded wires without crimp terminal, twist enough to avoid short circuit with a nearby terminals or wires.
• Pulling out the wire forcefully without pushing the open/close button all the way down may damage the terminal block.
• Use a small flathead screwdriver (tip thickness: 0.4 mm/tip width: 2.5 mm). If a flathead screwdriver with a narrow tip is
used, terminal block may be damaged.

• Place the flathead screwdriver vertical to the open/close button. In case the blade tip slips, it may cause an inverter damage
or injury.
