 Electric Shock Prevention
WARNING
 While the inverter power is ON, do not remove the front cover or the wiring
cover. 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.
 Even if power is OFF, do not remove the front cover except for wiring or
periodic inspection. You may accidentally touch the charged inverter
circuits and get an electric shock.
 Before wiring or inspection, the power lamp 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 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.
 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).
 Any person who is involved in wiring or inspection of this equipment shall
be fully competent to do the work.
 The inverter must be installed before wiring. Otherwise you may get an
electric shock or be injured.
 Setting dial and key operations must be performed with dry hands to
prevent an electric shock. Otherwise you may get an electric shock.
 Do not subject the cables to scratches, excessive stress, heavy loads or
pinching. Otherwise you may get an electric shock.
 Do not change the cooling fan while power is ON. It is dangerous to
change the cooling fan while power is ON.
 Do not touch the printed circuit board or handle the cables with wet hands.
Otherwise you may get an electric shock.
 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.
 A PM motor is a synchronous motor with high-performance magnets
embedded in the rotor. Motor terminals holds high-voltage while the motor
is running even after the inverter power is turned OFF. Before wiring or
inspection, the motor must be confirmed to be stopped. In an application,
such as fan and blower, where the motor is driven by the load, a low-
voltage manual motor starter must be connected at the inverter's output
side, and wiring and inspection must be performed while the motor starter
is open. Otherwise you may get an electric shock.
 Fire Prevention
CAUTION
 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 may cause a fire.
 If the inverter has become faulty, the inverter power must be switched
OFF. A continuous flow of large current may cause a fire.
 Do not connect a resistor directly to the DC terminals P/+ and N/-. Doing
so could cause a fire.
 Be sure to perform daily and periodic inspections as specified in the
Instruction Manual. If a product is used without any inspection, a burst,
breakage, or a fire may occur.

level may even lead to a serious
 Injury Prevention
CAUTION
 The voltage applied to each terminal must be the ones specified in the
Instruction Manual. Otherwise burst, damage, etc. may occur.
 The cables must be connected to the correct terminals. Otherwise burst,
damage, etc. may occur.
 The polarity (+ and -) must be correct. Otherwise burst, damage, etc. 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 a
burn.
 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
Transportation and Mounting
 Any person who is opening a package using a sharp object, such as a
knife and cutter, must wear gloves to prevent injuries caused by the edge
of the sharp object.
 The product must be transported in correct method that corresponds to
the weight. Failure to do so may lead to injuries.
 Do not stand or rest heavy objects on the product.
 Do not stack the boxes containing inverters higher than the number
recommended.
 When carrying the inverter, do not hold it by the front cover; it may fall off
or fail.
 During installation, caution must be taken not to drop the inverter as doing
so may cause injuries.
 The product must be installed on the surface that withstands the weight of
the inverter.
 Do not install the product on a hot surface.
 The mounting orientation of the inverter must be correct.
 The inverter must be installed on a strong surface securely with screws so
that it will not drop.
 Do not install or operate the inverter if it is damaged or has parts missing.
 Foreign conductive objects must be prevented from entering the inverter.
That includes screws and metal fragments or other flammable substance
such as oil.
 As the inverter is a precision instrument, do not drop or subject it to
impact.
 For the FR-F860-00090 or lower, the surrounding air temperature must be
-10 to +30°C for the SLD rating (-10 to +40°C for the LD rating) (non-
freezing). Otherwise the inverter may be damaged.
 For the FR-F860-00170 to 01080, the surrounding air temperature must
be -10 to +40°C (non-freezing). Otherwise the inverter may be damaged.
 For the FR-F860-01440 or higher, the surrounding air temperature must
be -10 to +40°C for the SLD rating (-10 to +50°C for the LD rating) (non-
freezing). Otherwise the inverter may be damaged.
 The ambient humidity must be 95%RH or less (non-condensing).
Otherwise the inverter may be damaged. (Refer to
 The storage temperature (applicable for a short time, e.g. during transit)
must be between -20 and +65°C. Otherwise the inverter may be
damaged.
 The inverter must be used indoors (without corrosive gas, flammable gas,
oil mist, dust and dirt etc.) Otherwise the inverter may be damaged.
 The inverter must be used at an altitude within 2500 m or less above sea
2
level, within 5.9 m/s vibration at 10 to 55 Hz (directions of X, Y, Z axes).

Otherwise the inverter may be damaged. (Refer to
 If halogen-based materials (fluorine, chlorine, bromine, iodine, etc.)
infiltrate into a Mitsubishi product, the product will be damaged. Halogen-
based materials are often included in fumigant, which is used to sterilize
or disinfest wooden packages. When packaging, prevent residual
fumigant components from being infiltrated into Mitsubishi products, or
use an alternative sterilization or disinfection method (heat disinfection,
etc.) for packaging. Sterilization of disinfection of wooden package should
also be performed before packaging the product.
 To prevent a failure, do not use the inverter with a part or material
containing halogen flame retardant including bromine.
Wiring
 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.
 The output side terminals (terminals U, V, and W) must be connected
correctly. Otherwise the motor will rotate inversely.
 PM motor terminals (U, V, W) hold high-voltage while the PM motor is
running even after the power is turned OFF. Before wiring, the PM motor
must be confirmed to be stopped. Otherwise you may get an electric
shock.
 Never connect a PM motor to the commercial power supply.
Applying the commercial power supply to input terminals (U, V, W) of a
PM motor will burn the PM motor. The PM motor must be connected with
the output terminals (U, V, W) of the inverter.
Test run
 Before starting operation, each parameter must be confirmed and
adjusted. A failure to do so may cause some machines to make
unexpected motions.
