Thoroughly familiarize yourself with the symbols and indications shown in “I. Safety Precautions,” of
the instruction manual E6582062 and below, and then continue to read manuals. Make sure that
you observe all warnings given.
 Transportation & installation
,Safety precautions
WARNING
Prohibited
• Do not install and operate the inverter if it is damaged or any of its components is missing.
This will result in electric shock or fire. Please call your Toshiba distributor for repairs.
• Do not place any inflammable object near the inverter.
If flame is emitted due to failure in the inverter, this will lead to fire.
• Do not operate the inverter with the front cover removed.
The unit contains high voltage parts and contact with them will result in electric shock.
Mandatory
action
• Operate under the environmental conditions prescribed in the instruction manual.
Operations under any other conditions will result in an accident or failure.
• Mount the inverter on a metal plate.
The rear panel will get high temperature. Do not mount the inverter on an inflammable object,
this will result in fire.
• An emergency stop device must be installed that is configured in accordance with the system
specifications.
If such an emergency stop device that can activate mechanical brake by shutting off power
supply is not installed, operation cannot be stopped immediately by the inverter alone, thus
resulting in an accident or injury.
• Close the front cover correctly, mount operation panel of the unit and close Ethernet connector
cover.
A gap can allow dust and water penetration and result in damage, fire or electric shock.
• All options to be used must be those specified by Toshiba.
The use of options other than those specified by Toshiba will result in an accident.
• In using a power distribution device and options for the inverter, they must be installed in a
cabinet.
When they are not installed in the cabinet, this will result in electric shock.

CAUTION
Prohibited
• For transporting or carrying the inverter, do not hold by the front cover.
The cover will come off and the unit will drop, resulting in injury.
• Do not install the inverter in any place with large vibration.
The unit will fall due to the vibration, resulting in injury.
• Do not connect an capacitor with DC input terminal [PA/+], [PC/-] (including DC link with
another inverter) without installing proper pre-charge circuit.
Excessive capacitor between DC terminals will cause the input overcurrent of inverter and will
result in product damage or failure.
Mandatory
action
• Carry the inverter by two people or more when the inverter is the model mass 20kg or more
(VFAS3-4110PCE - 4370PCE).
If you carry the inverter alone, this will result in injury.
• Transport a large-capacity inverter (VFAS3-4450PCE - 4750PCE) by a crane.
If you transport a heavy load by hand, this will result in injury.
Please take the utmost care for the operator's safety, and please handle the inverter carefully in
order not to damage the product.
For lifting the inverter, hang the inverter with wire ropes via hanging bolts (hanging holes)
provided at upper part or lower part of the inverter as shown below.
• Please make sure that the inverter is hanged by two wire ropes in a balanced manner, and please
be careful that the inverter does not receive excessive force during the hanging operation.
• Carry the inverter with the cover attached, and avoid holding or putting your hands in the wiring
holes during the transportation.
Otherwise you can have your hands pinched and injured.
• Transport the operation panel in accordance with law.
Please transport the operation panel by airplane or ship in accordance with law as a lithium
battery is used in the operation panel.
• Install the inverter at a place which can support the unit's mass.
If you install the inverter at a place which does not support the unit's mass, the unit will fall,
resulting in injury.

This inverter is an electronic control instrument. Take full consideration to install it in the proper operating
environment as follows.
 Installation environment
• Operate in areas where ambient temperature ranges
from –15°C to 50°C.
Where ambient temperature will rise above 40°C,
derating of rated current is needed. Refer to "Instruction
Manual for Load Reduction" (E6582116) for details.
• Install the inverter in a well-ventilated place and
mount it on a flat metal plate in portrait operation.
• Leave a space of 10cm or more on the upper and
lower sides of the inverter, and a space of 5cm or
more on each side.
• This inverter have a structure with IP55 conformity.
IP55 is a structure that protects the contents from
dust and harmful effects of water that drops from
every direction.
2. 1 Installation
WARNING
Prohibited
• Do not place any inflammable object near the inverter.
If flame is emitted due to failure in the inverter, this will lead to fire.
Mandatory
action
• Operate under the environmental conditions prescribed in the instruction manual.
Operations under any other conditions will result in failure.

WARNING
Prohibited
• Do not install and operate the inverter if it is damaged or any of its components is missing.
This will result in electric shock or fire. Please call your Toshiba distributor for repairs.
Mandatory
action
• Mount the inverter on a metal plate.
The rear panel will get high temperature. Do not mount the inverter on an inflammable object,
this will result in fire.
• An emergency stop device must be installed that is configured in accordance with the system
specifications.
If such an emergency stop device that can activate mechanical brake by shutting off power
supply is not installed, operation cannot be stopped immediately by the inverter alone, thus
resulting in an accident or injury.
• All options to be used must be those specified by Toshiba.
The use of options other than those specified by Toshiba will result in an accident.
CAUTION
Prohibited
• For carrying the inverter, do not hold by the front cover.
The cover will come off and the unit will drop, resulting in injury.

Select an indoor location with good ventilation, and then install the inverter upright on a flat metal plate.
For the positions and sizes of the mounting holes, refer to [6. 2].
 Top cover over view
Top cover is including in the package with the inverter.
For frame size A1E, A2E, and A3E
For frame size A4E and A5E
 How to install the top cover
1) Top cover is installed before 2 mounting screws on top side are tightened with standard torque
(the screws must be tightened with the torque to support the inverter weight).
Mandatory
action
• Carry the inverter with the cover attached, and avoid holding or putting your hands in the wiring
holes.
Otherwise you can have your hands pinched and injured.
• Install the inverter at a place which can support the unit's mass.
If you install the inverter at a place which does not support the unit's mass, the unit will fall,
resulting in injury.
• Install the mechanical brake when it is necessary to hold a motor shaft.
A brake function of the inverter cannot perform mechanical hold, and it results in injury.
