can lead to risk of electric shock and can result in death or serious injury.
•An emergency stop device must be installed that fits with system specifications (e.g. shut off input
power then engage mechanical brake). Operation cannot be stopped immediately by the inverter
alone, thus risking an accident or injury.
•All options used must be those specified by Toshiba.
The use of any other option may result in an accident.
Caution
Prohibited
•When transporting or carrying, do not hold by the front panel covers.
The covers may come off and the unit will drop out resulting in injury.
•Do not install in any area where the unit would be subject to large amounts of vibration.
That could result in the unit falling, resulting in injury.
Instruction
•The main unit must be installed on a base that can bear the unit's weight.
If the unit is installed on a base that cannot withstand that weight, the unit may fall resulting in injury.
•If braking is necessary (to hold motor shaft), install a mechanical brake.
The brake on the inverter will not function as a mechanical hold, and if used for that purpose, injury
may result.
■Wiring
Warning
Prohibited
•Do not connect input power to the output (motor side) terminals (U/T1,V/T2,W/T3).
That will destroy the inverter and may result in fire.
•Do not connect resistors to the DC terminals (across PA/+ and PC/- or PO and PC/-).
That may cause a fire.
•Within ten minutes after turning off input power, do not touch wires of devices (MCCB) connected to the
input side of the inverter.
That could result in electric shock.

Warning
Instruction
•Electrical installation work must be done by a qualified expert.
Connection of input power by someone who does not have that expert knowledge may result in fire or
electric shock.
•Connect output terminals (motor side) correctly.
If the phase sequence is incorrect, the motor will operate in reverse and that may result in injury.
•Wiring must be done after installation.
If wiring is done prior to installation that may result in injury or electric shock
•The following steps must be performed before wiring.
(1) Turn off all input power.
(2) Wait at least ten minutes and check to make sure that the charge lamp is no longer lit.
(3) Use a tester that can measure DC voltage (800VDC or more), and check to make sure that the
voltage to the DC main circuits (across PA/+ and PC/-) is 45V or less.
If these steps are not properly performed, the wiring will cause electric shock.
•Tighten the screws on the terminal board to specified torque.
If the screws are not tightened to the specified torque, it may lead to fire.
•Check to make sure that the input power voltage is +10%, -15% of the rated power voltage written on
the rating label (±10% when the load is 100% in continuous operation).
If the input power voltage is not +10%, -15% of the rated power voltage (±10% when the load is 100%
in continuous operation) this may result in fire.
•Must install a Molded Case Circuit Breaker (MCCB) or an Earth Leakage Circuit Breaker (ELCB) in
input side. If not, in the case of short circuit in input side or failure in the internal of inverter, it may result
in fire.
Be Grounded
•Ground must be connected securely.
If the ground is not securely connected, it could lead to electric shock or fire when a malfunction or
current leak occurs.
