handling
may
cause
hazardous conditions, resulting in
death or severe injury.

CAUTION

Incorrect
handling
may
cause
hazardous conditions, resulting in
medium or slight injury, or may cause
only material damage.

CAUTION level may even lead to a serious

The
consequence according to conditions. Both instruction
levels must be followed because these are important to
personal safety.

1. Electric Shock Prevention

WARNING
z While power is ON or when the inverter is running, do not
open the front cover. Otherwise you may get an electric
shock.
z Do not run the inverter with the front cover or wiring cover
removed. Otherwise you may access the exposed highvoltage terminals or the charging part of the circuitry and
get an electric shock.
z Even if power is OFF, do not remove the front cover
except for wiring or periodic inspection. You may access
the charged inverter circuits and get an electric shock.
z Before wiring or inspection, power must be switched OFF.
To confirm that, LED indication of the operation panel
must be checked. (It must be 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 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.
z This inverter must be earthed (grounded). Earthing
(grounding) must conform to the requirements of national
and local safety regulations and electrical code (NEC
section 250, IEC 536 class 1 and other applicable
standards).
A neutral-point earthed (grounded) power supply for 400V
class inverter in compliance with EN standard must be
used.
z Any person who is involved in wiring or inspection of this
equipment shall be fully competent to do the work.
z The inverter must be installed before wiring. Otherwise
you may get an electric shock or be injured.
z Setting dial and key operations must be performed with
dry hands to prevent an electric shock. Otherwise you
may get an electric shock.
z Do not subject the cables to scratches, excessive stress,
heavy loads or pinching. Otherwise you may get an
electric shock.
z Do not change the cooling fan while power is ON. It is
dangerous to change the cooling fan while power is ON.
z Do not touch the printed circuit board with wet hands.
Otherwise you may get an electric shock.
z When measuring the main circuit capacitor capacity, the
DC voltage is applied to the motor for 1s at powering OFF.
Never touch the motor terminal, etc. right after powering
OFF to prevent an electric shock.

2. Fire Prevention

CAUTION
z Inverter must be installed on a nonflammable wall without
holes (so that nobody touches the inverter heatsink on the
rear side, etc.). Mounting it to or near flammable material
can cause a fire.
z If the inverter has become faulty, the inverter power must
be switched OFF. A continuous flow of large current could
cause a fire.
z When using a brake resistor, a sequence that will turn OFF
power when a fault signal is output must be configured.
Otherwise the brake resistor may excessively overheat due
to damage of the brake transistor and such, causing a fire.
z Do not connect a resistor directly to the DC terminals P/+
and N/-. Doing so could cause a fire.

A-1

3.Injury Prevention

(3) Trial run

CAUTION
z The voltage applied to each terminal must be the ones
specified in the Instruction Manual. Otherwise burst,
damage, etc. may occur.
z The cables must be connected to the correct terminals.
Otherwise burst, damage, etc. may occur.
z Polarity must be correct. Otherwise burst, damage, etc.
may occur.
z While power is ON or for some time after power-OFF, do
not touch the inverter since the inverter will be extremely
hot. Doing so can cause burns.

4. Additional Instructions
Also the following points must be noted to prevent an
accidental failure, injury, electric shock, etc.

(1) Transportation and Mounting

Environment

z The product must be transported in correct method that

corresponds to the weight. Failure to do so may lead to
injuries.
z Do not stack the boxes containing inverters higher than
the number recommended.
z The product must be installed to the position where
withstands the weight of the product according to the
information in the Instruction Manual.
z Do not install or operate the inverter if it is damaged or
has parts missing.
z When carrying the inverter, do not hold it by the front
cover or setting dial; it may fall off or fail.
z Do not stand or rest heavy objects on the product.
z The inverter mounting orientation must be correct.
z Foreign conductive bodies must be prevented to enter the
inverter. That includes screws and metal fragments or
other flammable substance such as oil.
z As the inverter is a precision instrument, do not drop or
subject it to impact.
z The inverter must be used under the following
environment: Otherwise the inverter may be damaged.

axes)

1 Temperature applicable for a short time, e.g. in transit.

(2) Wiring

CAUTION
z Do not install a power factor correction capacitor or surge
suppressor/capacitor type filter on the inverter output
side. These devices on the inverter output side may be
overheated or burn out.
z The connection orientation of the output cables U, V, W to
the motor affects the rotation direction of the motor.

A-2

CAUTION
z Before starting operation, each parameter must be
confirmed and adjusted. A failure to do so may cause
some machines to make unexpected motions.

(4) Usage

WARNING
z Any person must stay away from the equipment when the
retry function is set as it will restart suddenly after trip.
z Since pressing

key may not stop output depending

on the function setting status, separate circuit and switch

that make an emergency stop (power OFF, mechanical
brake operation for emergency stop, etc.) must be
provided.
z OFF status of the start signal must be confirmed before
resetting the inverter fault. Resetting inverter alarm with
the start signal ON restarts the motor suddenly.
z The inverter must be used for three-phase induction
motors.
Connection of any other electrical equipment to the
inverter output may damage the equipment.
z Do not modify the equipment.
z Do not perform parts removal which is not instructed in
this manual. Doing so may lead to fault or damage of the
product.

CAUTION
z The electronic thermal relay function does not guarantee
protection of the motor from overheating. It is
recommended to install both an external thermal and PTC
thermistor for overheat protection.
z Do not use a magnetic contactor on the inverter input for
frequent starting/stopping of the inverter. Otherwise, the
life of the inverter decreases.
z The effect of electromagnetic interference must be
reduced by using an EMC filter or by other means.
Otherwise nearby electronic equipment may be affected.
z Appropriate measures must be taken to suppress
harmonics. Otherwise power supply harmonics from the
inverter may heat/damage the power factor correction
capacitor and generator.
z When driving a 400V class motor by the inverter, the
motor must be an insulation-enhanced motor or measures
must be taken to suppress surge voltage. Surge voltage
attributable to the wiring constants may occur at the
motor terminals, deteriorating the insulation of the motor.
z When parameter clear or all parameter clear is performed,
the required parameters must be set again before starting
operations because all parameters return to the initial
value.
z The inverter can be easily set for high-speed operation.
Before changing its setting, the performances of the
motor and machine must be fully examined.
z Stop status cannot be hold by the inverter's brake
function. In addition to the inverter's brake function, a
holding device must be installed to ensure safety.
z Before running an inverter which had been stored for a
long period, inspection and test operation must be
performed.
z For prevention of damage due to static electricity, nearby
metal must be touched before touching this product to
eliminate static electricity from your body.

(5) Emergency stop

CAUTION
z A safety backup such as an emergency brake must be
provided to prevent hazardous condition to the machine
and equipment in case of inverter failure.
z When the breaker on the inverter input side trips, the
wiring must be checked for fault (short circuit), and
internal parts of the inverter for a damage, etc. The cause
of the trip must be identified and removed before turning
ON the power of the breaker.
z When any protective function is activated, appropriate
corrective action must be taken, and the inverter must be
reset before resuming operation.

(6) Maintenance, inspection and parts replacement

CAUTION
z Do not carry out a megger (insulation resistance) test on
the control circuit of the inverter. It will cause a failure.

(7) Disposal

CAUTION
z The inverter must be treated as industrial waste.

Reactor (FR-HAL, FR-HEL option)

Reactors (option) must be used when
power harmonics measures are taken,
the power factor is to be improved or the
inverter is installed near a large power
supply system (500kVA or more). The
inverter may be damaged if you do not
use reactors. Select the reactor according
to the model. Remove the jumpers across
terminals P/+ and P1 to connect the DC reactor.

Install an EMC filter (ferrite core)

to reduce the electromagnetic
noise generated from the
inverter. Effective in the range
from about 1MHz to 10MHz.
When more wires are passed
through, a more effective result
can be obtained. A wire should
be wound four turns or more.

Devices connected to the output
Do not install a power factor correction capacitor,
surge suppressor or EMC filter (capacitor) on the output
side of the inverter. When installing a moulded case
circuit breaker on the output side of the inverter,
contact each manufacturer for selection of the
moulded case circuit breaker.
Earth (Ground)
To prevent an electric shock, always earth (ground)
the motor and inverter. For reduction of induction noise
from the power line of the inverter, it is recommended
to wire the earth (ground) cable by returning it to the
earth (ground) terminal of the inverter.

NOTE
The life of the inverter is influenced by surrounding air temperature. The surrounding air temperature should be as low as
possible within the permissible range. This must be noted especially when the inverter is installed in an enclosure. (Refer to page 7)
Wrong wiring might lead to damage of the inverter. The control signal lines must be kept fully away from the main
circuit to protect them from noise. (Refer to page 9)
Do not install a power factor correction capacitor, surge suppressor or EMC filter (capacitor) on the inverter output
side. This will cause the inverter to trip or the capacitor and surge suppressor to be damaged. If any of the above
devices are connected, immediately remove them.
Electromagnetic wave interference
The input/output (main circuit) of the inverter includes high frequency components, which may interfere with the
communication devices (such as AM radios) used near the inverter. In this case, install the FR-BIF optional EMC filter
(capacitor) (for use in the input side only) or FR-BSF01 or FR-BLF EMC filter (ferrite core) to minimize interference.

For the use in the United States or Canada, select a UL and cUL certified fuse with Class T fuse equivalent cut-off
speed or faster with the appropriate rating for branch circuit protection. Alternatively, select a UL489 molded case circuit breaker (MCCB). (Refer to page 136)
Magnetic contactor is selected based on the AC-1 class. The electrical durability of magnetic contactor is 500,000 times. When the magnetic contactor is
used for emergency stop during motor driving, the electrical durability is 25 times.
When using the MC for emergency stop during motor driving or using on the motor side during commercial-power supply operation, select the MC with class
AC-3 rated current for the motor rated current.
When connecting a single-phase 100V power input model to a power transformer (50kVA or more), install an AC reactor (FR-HAL) so that the performance
is more reliable. (
Refer to Chapter 3 of the Instruction Manual (Applied))
The power factor may be slightly lower.
Single-phase 100V power input model is not compatible with DC reactor.

NOTE
y When the inverter capacity is larger than the motor capacity, select an MCCB and a magnetic contactor according to the inverter model
and cable and reactor according to the motor output.

y When the breaker on the inverter input side trips, check for the wiring fault (short circuit), damage to internal parts of the inverter, etc.
Identify the cause of the trip, then remove the cause and power ON the breaker.

(Selection example for use mainly in the United States.)
The recommended cable size is that of the cable (THHW cable) with continuous maximum permissible temperature of 70C. Assumes that the surrounding
air temperature is 40C or less and the wiring distance is 20m or less.
(Selection example for use mainly in Europe.)
The terminal screw size indicates the terminal size for R/L1, S/L2, T/L3, U, V, W, PR, P/+, N/-, P1 and a screw for earthing (grounding).
Screw size for earthing (grounding) the FR-D720-15K is indicated in parenthesis.
For single-phase power input, the terminal screw size indicates the size of terminal screw for R/L1, S/L2, U, V, W, PR, P/+, N/-, P1 and a screw for earthing
(grounding).

NOTE
Tighten the terminal screw to the specified torque. A screw that has been tightened too loosely can cause a short circuit or
malfunction. A screw that has been tightened too tightly can cause a short circuit or malfunction due to the unit breakage.
Use crimping terminals with insulation sleeve to wire the power supply and motor.

Earthing (Grounding) precautions

Leakage currents flow in the inverter. To prevent an electric shock, the inverter and motor must be earthed (grounded). This
inverter must be earthed (grounded). Earthing (Grounding) must conform to the requirements of national and local safety
regulations and electrical codes. (NEC section 250, IEC 536 class 1 and other applicable standards)
Use an neutral-point earthed (grounded) power supply for 400V class inverter in compliance with EN standard.
Use the dedicated earth (ground) terminal to earth (ground) the inverter. (Do not use the screw in the casing, chassis, etc.)
Use the thickest possible earth (ground) cable. Use the cable whose size is equal to or greater than that indicated on page
12 , and minimize the cable length. The earthing (grounding) point should be as near as possible to the inverter.

POINT
To be compliant with the EU Directive (Low Voltage Directive), earth (ground) the inverter according to the
instructions on page 133.

2) Connect the surge voltage suppression filter (FR-ASF-H/FR-BMF-H) on the inverter output side.

NOTE
Especially for long-distance wiring, the inverter may be affected by a charging current caused by the stray
capacitances of the wiring, leading to a malfunction of the overcurrent protective function, fast response current limit
function, or stall prevention function or a malfunction or fault of the equipment connected on the inverter output side.
If malfunction of fast-response current limit function occurs, disable this function. If malfunction of stall prevention
function occurs, increase the stall level. (
Refer to Pr. 22 Stall prevention operation level and Pr. 156 Stall prevention

Changing the control logic
The input signals are set to sink logic (SINK) when shipped from
the factory.
To change the control logic, the jumper connector above the
control terminal must be moved to the other position.
Change the jumper connector in the sink logic (SINK) position
to source logic (SOURCE) position using tweezers, a pair of
long-nose pliers etc. Change the jumper connector position
before switching power ON.

NOTE
Fully make sure that the front cover has been reinstalled securely.
The capacity plate is placed on the front cover and the rating plate is on the inverter. Since these plates have the
same serial numbers, always reinstall the removed cover onto the original inverter.
The sink-source logic change-over jumper connector must be fitted in only one of those positions. If it is fitted in both
positions at the same time, the inverter may be damaged.

Use a blade terminal and a wire with a sheath stripped off for the control circuit wiring. 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.
1) Strip off the sheath about the length below. If the length of the sheath peeled is too long, a short circuit may occur
among neighboring wires. If the length is too short, wires might come off.
Wire the stripped wire after twisting it to prevent it from becoming loose. In addition, do not solder it.
Wire stripping length

2) Crimp the blade terminal.

Insert wires to a blade terminal, and check that the wires come out for about 0 to 0.5 mm from a sleeve.
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.

Power-OFF and magnetic contactor (MC)

(1)

Power-OFF and magnetic contactor (MC)

Inverter input side magnetic contactor (MC)

On the inverter input side, it is recommended to provide an MC for the following purposes.
(Refer to page 3 for selection.)
1) To release the inverter from the power supply when the fault occurs or when the drive is not functioning (e.g. emergency
stop operation). For example, MC avoids overheat or burnout of the brake resistor when heat capacity of the resistor is
insufficient or brake regenerative transistor is damaged with short while connecting an optional brake resistor.
2) To prevent any accident due to an automatic restart at restoration of power after an inverter stop made by a power failure
3) While the power is ON, inverter is consuming a little power even during inverter stop. When stopping the inverter for an
extended period of time, powering OFF the inverter will save power slightly.
4) To separate the inverter from the power supply to ensure safe maintenance and inspection work.
The inverter's input side MC is used for the above purpose, select class JEM1038-AC3 MC for the inverter input side current
when making an emergency stop during normal operation.

REMARKS
Since repeated inrush currents at power ON will shorten the life of the converter circuit (switching life is about 1,000,000 times.),
frequent starts and stops of the MC must be avoided. Turn ON/OFF the inverter start controlling terminals (STF, STR) to run/stop
the inverter.

Precautions for use of the inverter

2.7

Precautions for use of the inverter

The FR-D700 series is a highly reliable product, but incorrect peripheral circuit making or operation/handling method may
shorten the product life or damage the product.
Before starting operation, always recheck the following items.
(1) Use crimping terminals with insulation sleeve to wire the power supply and motor.
(2) Application of power to the output terminals (U, V, W) of the inverter will damage the inverter. Never perform such wiring.
(3) After wiring, wire offcuts must not be left in the inverter.
Wire offcuts can cause an alarm, failure or malfunction. Always keep the inverter clean.
When drilling mounting holes in an enclosure etc., take care not to allow chips and other foreign matter to enter the
inverter.
(4) Use cables of the size to make a voltage drop 2% maximum.
If the wiring distance is long between the inverter and motor, a main circuit cable voltage drop will cause the motor torque
to decrease especially at the output of a low frequency.
Refer to page 12 for the recommended wire sizes.
(5) The overall wiring length should be 500m maximum.
Especially for long distance wiring, the fast-response current limit function may decrease or the equipment connected to
the secondary side may malfunction or become faulty under the influence of a charging current due to the stray capacity
of the wiring. Therefore, note the overall wiring length. (Refer to page 14)
(6) Electromagnetic wave interference
The input/output (main circuit) of the inverter includes high frequency components, which may interfere with the
communication devices (such as AM radios) used near the inverter. In this case, install the FR-BIF optional capacitor
type filter (for use in the input side only) or FR-BSF01 or FR-BLF common mode filter to minimize interference.
(7) Do not install a power factor correction capacitor, surge suppressor or capacitor type filter on the inverter output side.
This will cause the inverter to trip or the capacitor and surge suppressor to be damaged. If any of the above devices are
connected, immediately remove them. (When using capacitor type filter (FR-BIF) for a single-phase power input model,
make sure of secure insulation of T/L3-phase, and connect to the input side of the inverter.)
(8) For some short time after the power is switched OFF, a high voltage remains in the smoothing capacitor. When
accessing the inverter for inspection, wait for at least 10 minutes after the power supply has been switched OFF, and
then make sure that the voltage across the main circuit terminals P/+ and N/- of the inverter is not more than 30VDC
using a tester, etc.
(9) A short circuit or earth (ground) fault on the inverter output side may damage the inverter modules.
Fully check the insulation resistance of the circuit prior to inverter operation since repeated short circuits caused by
peripheral circuit inadequacy or an earth (ground) fault caused by wiring inadequacy or reduced motor insulation
resistance may damage the inverter modules.
Fully check the to-earth (ground) insulation and phase to phase insulation of the inverter output side before power-on.
Especially for an old motor or use in hostile atmosphere, securely check the motor insulation resistance etc.
(10) Do not use the inverter input side magnetic contactor to start/stop the inverter.
Always use the start signal (turn ON/OFF STF and STR signals) to start/stop the inverter. (Refer to page 27)
(11) Across terminals P/+ and PR, connect only an external regenerative brake discharging resistor.
Do not connect a mechanical brake.
The brake resistor can not be connected to the 0.1K and 0.2K. Never short between terminals P/+ and PR.

28

Precautions for use of the inverter

(12) Do not apply a voltage higher than the permissible voltage to the inverter I/O signal circuits.
Application of a voltage higher than the permissible voltage to the inverter I/O signal circuits or opposite polarity may
damage the I/O devices. Especially check the wiring to prevent the speed setting potentiometer from being connected
incorrectly to short terminals 10-5.
(13) Provide electrical and mechanical interlocks for MC1 and MC2

MC1

which are used for bypass operation. When the wiring is

incorrect and if there is a bypass operation circuit as shown
right, the inverter will be damaged due to arcs generated at the

Power
supply

time of switch-over or chattering caused by a sequence error.

Interlock

S/L2 V
T/L3 W
Inverter

MC2

IM

Undesirable current

(14) If the machine must not be restarted when power is restored after a power failure, provide a magnetic contactor in the
inverter's input side and also make up a sequence which will not switch ON the start signal.
If the start signal (start switch) remains ON after a power failure, the inverter will automatically restart as soon as the
power is restored.
(15) Instructions for overload operation
When performing operation of frequent start/stop of the inverter, rise/fall in the temperature of the transistor element of
the inverter will repeat due to a repeated flow of large current, shortening the life from thermal fatigue. Since thermal
fatigue is related to the amount of current, the life can be increased by reducing current at locked condition, starting
current, etc. Decreasing current may increase the life. However, decreasing current will result in insufficient torque and
the inverter may not start. Therefore, choose the inverter which has enough allowance for current (up to 2 rank larger in
capacity).
(16) Make sure that the specifications and rating match the system requirements.
(17) If electromagnetic noise generated from the inverter causes frequency setting signal to fluctuate and motor rotation
speed to be unstable when changing motor speed with analog signal, the following countermeasures are effective.
y Do not run the signal cables and power cables (inverter I/O cables) in parallel with each other and do not bundle them.
y Run signal cables as far away as possible from power cables (inverter I/O cables).
y Use shield cables as signal cables.
y Install a ferrite core on the signal cable (Example: ZCAT3035-1330 TDK).

Failsafe of the system which uses the inverter

2.8

Failsafe of the system which uses the inverter

When a fault occurs, the inverter trips to output a fault signal. However, a fault output signal may not be output at an inverter
fault occurrence when the detection circuit or output circuit fails, etc. Although Mitsubishi assures best quality products,
provide an interlock which uses inverter status output signals to prevent accidents such as damage to machine when the
inverter fails for some reason and at the same time consider the system configuration where failsafe from outside the inverter,
without using the inverter, is enabled even if the inverter fails.

(2) Backup method outside the inverter

Even if the interlock is provided by the inverter status signal, enough failsafe is not ensured depending on the failure
status of the inverter itself. For example, when the inverter CPU fails, even if the interlock is provided using the inverter
fault signal, start signal and RUN signal, there is a case where a fault signal is not output and RUN signal is kept output
even if an inverter fault occurs.
Provide a speed detector to detect the motor speed and current detector to detect the motor current and consider the
backup system such as checking up as below according to the level of importance of the system.
1)Start signal and actual operation check
Check the motor running and motor current while the start signal is input to the inverter by comparing the start signal to
the inverter and detected speed of the speed detector or detected current of the current detector. Note that the motor
current runs as the motor is running for the period until the motor stops since the inverter starts decelerating even if the
start signal turns OFF. For the logic check, configure a sequence considering the inverter deceleration time. In addition, it
is recommended to check the three-phase current when using the current detector.
2)Command speed and actual operation check
Check if there is no gap between the actual speed and commanded speed by comparing the inverter speed command
and detected speed of the speed detector.

Acquiring large starting torque and low speed torque (General-purpose magnetic
flux vector control (Pr. 71, Pr. 80)) GP MFVC

General-purpose magnetic flux vector control is available.

Large starting torque and low speed torque are available with General-purpose magnetic flux vector control.
z What is General-purpose magnetic flux vector control ?
The low speed torque can be improved by providing voltage compensation to flow a motor current which meets the
load torque. With setting slip compensation (Pr. 245 to Pr. 247), output frequency compensation (slip compensation) is
made so that the actual motor speed goes closer to a speed command value. Effective when load fluctuates
drastically, etc.
General-purpose magnetic flux vector control is the same function as the FR-E500 series.

POINT
If the following conditions are not satisfied, select V/F control since malfunction such as insufficient torque and
uneven rotation may occur.
The motor capacity should be equal to or one rank lower than the inverter capacity. (note that the capacity
should be 0.1kW or more)
Motor to be used is any of Mitsubishi standard motor, high efficiency motor (SF-JR, SF-HR 0.2kW or more) or
Mitsubishi constant-torque motor (SF-JRCA 4P, SF-HRCA 0.2kW to 15kW). When using a motor other than the
above (other manufacturer's motor), perform offline auto tuning without fail.
Single-motor operation (one motor run by one inverter) should be performed.
The wiring length from inverter to motor should be within 30m. (Perform offline auto tuning in the state where
wiring work is performed when the wiring length exceeds 30m.)
Permissible wiring length between inverter and motor differs according to the inverter capacity and setting value
of Pr. 72 PWM frequency selection (carrier frequency). Refer to page 14 for the permissible wiring length.

Control mode

V/F control (initial setting) and General-purpose magnetic flux vector control are available with this inverter.
V/F control is for controlling frequency and voltage so that the ratio of frequency (F) to voltage (V) is constant when
changing frequency.
General-purpose magnetic flux vector control divides the inverter output current into an excitation current and a torque
current by vector calculation, and makes voltage compensation to flow a motor current which meets the load torque.
(General-purpose magnetic flux vector control is the same function as the FR-E500 series.)

Exhibiting the best performance for the motor (offline auto tuning)
(Pr. 71, Pr. 80, Pr. 82 to Pr. 84, Pr. 90, Pr. 96)

The motor performance can be maximized with offline auto tuning.

What is offline auto tuning?
When performing General-purpose magnetic flux vector control, the motor can be run with the optimum operating
characteristics by automatically measuring the motor constants (offline auto tuning) even when each motor constants
differs, other manufacturer's motor is used, or the wiring length is long.

The above parameters can be set when Pr. 160 Extended function display selection = "0". (Refer to page 74)

POINT
This function is valid only when a value other than "9999" is set in Pr. 80 and General-purpose magnetic flux
vector control is selected.
You can copy the offline auto tuning data (motor constants) to another inverter with the PU (FR-PU07).
Even when motors (other manufacturer's motor, SF-JRC, etc.) other than Mitsubishi standard motor, high
efficiency motor (SF-JR, SF-HR 0.2kW or more), and Mitsubishi constant-torque motor (SF-JRCA 4P, SFHRCA 0.2kW to 15kW) are used or the wiring length is long, using the offline auto tuning function runs the
motor with the optimum operating characteristics.
Tuning is enabled even when a load is connected to the motor.
As the motor may run slightly, fix the motor securely with a mechanical brake or make sure that there will be no
problem in safety if the motor runs (caution is required especially in elevator). Note that tuning performance is
unaffected even if the motor runs slightly.
Reading/writing/copy of motor constants (Pr. 90) tuned by offline auto tuning are enabled.
The offline auto tuning status can be monitored with the operation panel and PU (FR-PU04/FR-PU07).
Do not connect a surge voltage suppression filter (FR-ASF-H/FR-BMF-H) between the inverter and motor.

Before operation
(1)

Before performing offline auto tuning

Check the following before performing offline auto tuning.

Make sure General-purpose magnetic flux vector control (Pr. 80) is selected. (Tuning can be performed even under V/F
control selected by turning ON X18.)
A motor should be connected. Note that the motor should be at a stop at a tuning start.
The motor capacity should be equal to or one rank lower than the inverter capacity. (note that the capacity should be
0.1kW or more)
A high-slip motor, high-speed motor and special motor cannot be tuned. (The maximum frequency is 120Hz.)
As the motor may run slightly, fix the motor securely with a mechanical brake or make sure that there will be no problem
in safety if the motor runs (caution is required especially in elevator). Note that tuning performance is unaffected even if
the motor runs slightly.
Offline auto tuning will not be performed properly if it is performed with a reactor or surge voltage suppression filter (FRASF-H/FR-BMF-H) connected between the inverter and motor. Remove it before start tuning.

(2)

Setting

1) Select General-purpose magnetic flux vector control. (Refer to page 48)

2) Set "11" in Pr. 96 Auto tuning setting/status.
Tuning motor constants (R1) only without running the motor. (It takes approximately 9s until tuning is completed.)
3) Set the rated motor current (initial value is rated inverter current) in Pr. 9 Electronic thermal O/L relay. (Refer to page 41)
4) Set the rated voltage of motor (initial value is 200V/400V) in Pr. 83 Rated motor voltage and rated motor frequency (initial
value is 60Hz) in Pr. 84 Rated motor frequency.
(For a Japanese standard motor, etc. which has both 50Hz and 60Hz rated values, use it with an initial value (200V/60Hz
or 400V/60Hz).
5) Set Pr. 71 Applied motor according to the motor used.

Execution of tuning
POINT
Before performing tuning, check the monitor display of the operation panel or parameter unit (FR-PU04/FR-PU07)
if the inverter is in the status for tuning. (Refer to 2) below) When the start command is turned ON under V/F
control, the motor starts.
1) When performing tuning for PU operation, press

of the operation panel or

or

of the parameter unit

(FR-PU04/FR-PU07).
For External operation, turn ON the run command (STF signal or STR signal). Tuning starts.
(Excitation noise is produced during tuning.)

NOTE
To force tuning to end, use the MRS or RES signal or press

of the operation panel. (Turning the start signal (STF

signal or STR signal) OFF also ends tuning.)

During offline auto tuning, only the following I/O signals are valid: (initial value)
Input terminal <valid signal>
Output terminal

STF, STR

RUN, FM, A, B, C

Note that the progress status of offline auto tuning is output in five steps from FM when speed and output frequency
are selected.
Since the RUN signal turns ON when tuning is started, caution is required especially when a sequence which
releases a mechanical brake by the RUN signal has been designed.
When executing offline auto tuning, input the run command after switching ON the main circuit power (R/L1, S/L2, T/
L3) of the inverter.
Do not perform ON/OFF switching of the second function selection signal (RT) during execution of offline auto
tuning. Auto tuning is not executed properly.

2) Monitor is displayed on the operation panel and parameter unit (FR-PU04/FR-PU07) during tuning as below.

OFF the start signal (STF signal or STR signal) once.

This operation resets the offline auto tuning and the PU's monitor display returns to the normal indication.
(Without this operation, next operation cannot be started.)
4) If offline auto tuning ended in error (see the table below), motor constants are not set.
Perform an inverter reset and restart tuning.

Perform an inverter reset and restart tuning.
6) When using the motor corresponding to the following specifications and conditions, reset Pr.9 Electronic thermal O/L
relay as below after tuning is completed.
a) When the rated power specifications of the motor is 200/220V (400/440V) 60Hz, set 1.1 times rated motor current
value in Pr.9.
b) When performing motor protection from overheat using a PTC thermistor or motor with temperature detector such
as Klixon, set "0" (motor overheat protection by the inverter is invalid) in Pr.9.
7) When you know motor excitation current (no load current), set the value in Pr. 82 Motor excitation current.

NOTE
The motor constants measured once in the offline auto tuning are stored as parameters, and their data are held until
the offline auto tuning is performed again.
An instantaneous power failure occurring during tuning will result in a tuning error.
After power is restored, the inverter goes into the normal operation mode. Therefore, when STF (STR) signal is ON,
the motor runs in the forward (reverse) rotation.
Any alarm occurring during tuning is handled as in the ordinary mode. Note that if a fault retry has been set, retry is
ignored.

CAUTION
As the motor may run slightly during offline auto tuning, fix the motor securely with a mechanical brake or
make sure that there will be no problem in safety if the motor runs. Note that if the motor runs slightly, tuning

Dancer control

If the proportional band is narrow
(parameter setting is small), the
manipulated variable varies greatly with a
0.1 to
slight change of the measured value.
Hence, as the proportional band narrows,
100% 1000%
the response sensitivity (gain) improves
but the stability deteriorates, e.g. hunting
occurs. Gain Kp= 1/proportional band
9999
No proportional control
For deviation step input, time (Ti) required
for only the integral (I) action to provide the
0.1 to
same manipulated variable as that for the
proportional (P) action. As the integral time

decreases, the set point is reached earlier
but hunting occurs more easily.
No integral control.

If the feedback value exceeds the setting,

4 TROUBLESHOOTING
When a fault occurs in the inverter, the inverter trips and the PU display automatically changes to any of the following fault or
alarm indications.
If the fault does not correspond to any of the following faults or if you have any other problem, please contact your sales
representative.
Retention of fault output signal...When the magnetic contactor (MC) provided on the input side of the inverter is opened
when a fault occurs, the inverter's control power will be lost and the fault output will not be
held.
Fault or alarm indication ..........When a fault or alarm occurs, the operation panel display automatically switches to the fault
or alarm indication.
Resetting method ....................When a fault occurs, the inverter output is kept stopped. Unless reset, therefore, the inverter
cannot restart. (Refer to page 96)
When any fault occurs, take the appropriate corrective action, then reset the inverter, and resume operation.
Not doing so may lead to the inverter fault and damage.
Inverter fault or alarm indications are roughly categorized as below.
(1) Error message
A message regarding operational fault and setting fault by the operation panel and parameter unit (FR-PU04 /FR-PU07)
is displayed. The inverter does not trip.
(2) Warnings
The inverter does not trip even when a warning is displayed. However, failure to take appropriate measures will lead to a
fault.
(3) Alarm
The inverter does not trip. You can also output an alarm signal by making parameter setting.
(4) Fault
When a fault occurs, the inverter trips and a fault signal is output.

Reset method of protective function

The inverter can be reset by performing any of the following operations. Note that the internal thermal integrated value of the
electronic thermal relay function and the number of retries are cleared (erased) by resetting the inverter.
Inverter recovers about 1s after the reset is released.
Operation 1: ...... Using the operation panel, press

to reset the inverter.

(This may only be performed when a fault occurs (Refer to page 101 for
fault.))

Operation 2: ....... Switch power OFF once. After the indicator of the operation panel
turns OFF, switch it ON again.

the inverter's output side (load side). Whether this protective function is used or not is set with Pr. 249 Earth (ground)
fault detection at start. When the setting of Pr. 249 Earth (ground) fault detection at start is the initial value (Pr. 249 ="0"),
this warning does not occur.
Check for a ground fault in the motor and connection cable.
Remedy the ground fault portion.

Output phase loss

If one of the three phases (U, V, W) on the inverter's output side (load side) is lost during inverter operation (except
during DC injection brake operation and when output frequency is under 1Hz), inverter stops the output. Whether the
protective function is used or not is set with Pr.251 Output phase loss protection selection.
Check the wiring. (Check that the motor is normal.)
Check that the capacity of the motor used is not smaller than that of the inverter.

5 PRECAUTIONS FOR MAINTENANCE AND INSPECTION

The inverter is a static unit mainly consisting of semiconductor devices. Daily inspection must be performed to prevent any
fault from occurring due to the adverse effects of the operating environment, such as temperature, humidity, dust, dirt and
vibration, changes in the parts with time, service life, and other factors.

zPrecautions for maintenance and inspection

For some short time after the power is switched OFF, a high voltage remains in the smoothing capacitor. When accessing the
inverter for inspection, wait for at least 10 minutes after the power supply has been switched OFF, and then make sure that
the voltage across the main circuit terminals P/+ and N/- of the inverter is not more than 30VDC using a tester, etc.

Measuring method of life of the main circuit capacitor

If the value of capacitor capacity measured before shipment is considered as 100%, Pr. 255 bit1 is turned ON when the
measured value falls below 85%.
Measure the capacitor capacity according to the following procedure and check the deterioration level of the capacitor
capacity.
1) Check that the motor is connected and at a stop.
2) Set "1" (measuring start) in Pr. 259.
3) Switch power OFF. The inverter applies DC voltage to the motor to measure the capacitor capacity while the inverter
is OFF.
4) After confirming that the LED of the operation panel is OFF, power ON again.
5) Check that "3" (measuring completion) is set in Pr. 259 then read Pr. 258 and check the life of the main circuit
capacitor.

REMARKS
When the main circuit capacitor life is measured under the following conditions, "forced end" (Pr. 259 = "8") or "measuring error"
(Pr. 259 = "9") occurs or it remains in "measuring start" (Pr. 259 = "1"). Therefore, do not measure in such case. In addition, even
when "measurement completion" (Pr. 259 = "3") is confirmed under the following conditions, normal measurement can not be
done.
(a)FR-HC or FR-CV is connected.
(b)DC power supply is connected to terminal P/+ and N/-.
(c)Switch power ON during measuring.
(d)The motor is not connected to the inverter.
(e)The motor is running (coasting).
(f)The motor capacity is two rank smaller as compared to the inverter capacity.
(g)The inverter is at an alarm stop or an alarm occurred while power is OFF.
(h)The inverter output is shut off with the MRS signal.
(i)The start command is given while measuring.
(j)The parameter unit (FR-PU04/FR-PU07) is connected.
(k)Using terminal PC as power supply.
(l)I/O terminal of the control terminal block is ON (continuity).
Turning the power ON during measuring before LED of the operation panel turns OFF, it may remain in "measuring" (Pr. 259 =
"2") status. In such case, carry out operation from step 2.

POINT
For the accurate life measuring of the main circuit capacitor, perform after more than 3 hours passed since the
turn OFF of the power as it is affected by the capacitor temperature.

WARNING
When measuring the main circuit capacitor capacity (Pr. 259 Main circuit capacitor life measuring = "1"), the DC
voltage is applied to the motor for 1s at powering OFF. Never touch the motor terminal, etc. right after
powering OFF to prevent an electric shock.

120

Inspection items
5.1.5

Cleaning

Always run the inverter in a clean status.

When cleaning the inverter, gently wipe dirty areas with a soft cloth immersed in neutral detergent or ethanol.

NOTE
Do not use solvent, such as acetone, benzene, toluene and alcohol, as these will cause the inverter surface paint to peel off.
The display, etc. of the operation panel and parameter unit (FR-PU04/FR-PU07) are vulnerable to detergent and alcohol.
Therefore, avoid using them for cleaning.

5.1.6

Replacement of parts

The inverter consists of many electronic parts such as semiconductor devices.

The following parts may deteriorate with age because of their structures or physical characteristics, leading to reduced
performance or fault of the inverter. For preventive maintenance, the parts must be replaced periodically.
Use the life check function as a guidance of parts replacement.

NOTE
Installing the fan in the opposite of air flow direction can cause the inverter life to be shorter.
Prevent the cable from being caught when installing a fan.
Switch the power OFF before replacing fans. Since the inverter circuits are charged with voltage even after
power OFF, replace fans only when the inverter cover is on the inverter to prevent an electric shock
accident.

PRECAUTIONS FOR MAINTENANCE AND INSPECTION

4) Reinstall the fan cover.

Smoothing capacitors

A large-capacity aluminum electrolytic capacitor is used for smoothing in the main circuit DC section, and an aluminum
electrolytic capacitor is used for stabilizing the control power in the control circuit. Their characteristics are deteriorated by the
adverse effects of ripple currents, etc. The replacement intervals greatly vary with the surrounding air temperature and
operating conditions. When the inverter is operated in air-conditioned and normal environment conditions, replace the
capacitors about every 10 years.
When a certain period of time has elapsed, the capacitors will deteriorate more rapidly. Check the capacitors at least every
year (less than six months if the life will be expired soon).
The appearance criteria for inspection are as follows:
1) Case: Check the side and bottom faces for expansion
2) Sealing plate: Check for remarkable warp and extreme crack.
3) Check for external crack, discoloration, liquid leakage, etc. Judge that the capacitor has reached its life when the
measured capacitance of the capacitor reduced below 80% of the rating.

POINT
Refer to page 120 to perform the life check of the main circuit capacitor.

(3)

Relays

To prevent a contact fault, etc., relays must be replaced according to the cumulative number of switching times (switching life).

Appendix 2 Instructions for Compliance with the EU Directives

The EU Directives are issued to standardize different national regulations of the EU Member States and to facilitate free
movement of the equipment, whose safety is ensured, in the EU territory.
Since 1996, compliance with the EMC Directive that is one of the EU Directives has been legally required. Since 1997,
compliance with the Low Voltage Directive, another EU Directive, has been also legally required. When a manufacturer
confirms its equipment to be compliant with the EMC Directive and the Low Voltage Directive, the manufacturer must declare
the conformity and affix the CE marking.

(2)

Low Voltage Directive

We have self-confirmed our inverters as products compliant to the Low Voltage Directive (Conforming standard EN 618005-1) and affix the CE marking on the inverters.
Outline of instructions
Do not use an earth leakage circuit breaker as an electric shock protector without connecting the equipment to the earth.
Connect the equipment to the earth securely.
Wire the earth (ground) terminal independently. (Do not connect two or more cables to one terminal.)
Use the cable sizes on page 12 under the following conditions.
Surrounding air temperature: 40C maximum
If conditions are different from above, select appropriate wire according to EN60204 ANNEX C TABLE 5.
Use a tinned (plating should not include zinc) crimping terminal to connect the earth cable. When tightening the screw,
be careful not to damage the threads.
For use as a product compliant with the Low Voltage Directive, use PVC cable on page 12.
Use the moulded case circuit breaker and magnetic contactor which conform to the EN or IEC Standard.
When using an earth leakage circuit breaker, use a residual current operated protective device (RCD) of type B (breaker
which can detect both AC and DC). If not, provide double or reinforced insulation between the inverter and other
equipment, or put a transformer between the main power supply and inverter.
Use the inverter under the conditions of overvoltage category II (usable regardless of the earth (ground) condition of the
power supply), overvoltage category III (usable with the earthed-neutral system power supply, 400V class only) specified
in IEC664.
To use the inverter under the conditions of pollution degree 3, install it in the enclosure of IP54 or higher.
To use the inverter outside of an enclosure in the environment of pollution degree 2, fix a fan cover with fan cover fixing
screws enclosed.

(Standard to comply with: UL 508C, CSA C22.2 No. 14)

1. General precaution
The bus capacitor discharge time is 10 minutes. Before starting wiring or inspection, switch power off, wait for more than 10 minutes,
and check for residual voltage between terminal P/+ and N/- with a meter etc., to avoid a hazard of electrical shock.

2. Installation
The below types of inverter have been approved as products for use in enclosure and approval tests were conducted under the
following conditions. Design the enclosure so that the surrounding air temperature, humidity and ambience of the inverter will satisfy
the specifications. (Refer to page 127)
Wiring protection
Integral solid state short circuit protection does not provide branch circuit protection. Branch circuit protection must be provided in
accordance with the National Electrical Code for the U.S. or the Canadian Electrical Code for Canada and any additional codes. As
specified, UL Class T fuses or any faster acting fuse with the appropriate rating or Listed UL 489 Molded Case Circuit Breaker
(MCCB) must be employed.
