SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
1. Electric Shock Prevention
2. Fire Prevention
3. Injury Prevention
WARNING
• While power is on or when the equipment is running, do not open the front cover. You may get an
electric shock.
• Do not run the equipment with the front cover removed. Otherwise, you may access the exposed high-
voltage terminals and charging part and get an electric shock.
• If power is off, do not remove the front cover except for wiring or periodic inspection. You may access
the charged circuits of the inverter and high power factor converter and get an electric shock.
• Before starting wiring or inspection, check for residual voltages with a meter etc. more than 10 minutes
after power-off.
• This converter must be earthed (grounded). Earthing (grounding) must be conform to the requirements
of national and local safety regulations and electrical codes. (NEC section 250, IEC 536 class 1 and
other applicable standards)
• Any person who is involved in the wiring or inspection of this equipment should be fully competent to
do the work.
• Always install the equipment before wiring. Otherwise, you may get an electric shock or be injured.
• Operate the switches with dry hands to prevent an electric shock.
• Do not subject the cables to scratches, excessive stress, heavy loads or pinching. Otherwise, you may
get an electric shock.
CAUTION
• Mount the high power factor converter on a non-combustible surface. Installing the equipment directly
on or near a combustible surface could lead to a fire.
• Power off the high power factor converter if it has failed. A continuous flow of a large current can cause
a fire.
• Do not connect a resistor directly to the DC terminals P, N. This could cause a fire.
• When a brake resistor is used, switch power off if an alarm signal appears on the PU. Otherwise, the
brake resistor may excessively overheat due to damage of the brake transistor, etc., causing a fire.
CAUTION
• Apply only the voltage specified in the instruction manual to each terminal to prevent burst, damage,
etc.
• Ensure that the cables are connected to the correct terminals. Otherwise, burst, damage, etc. may
occur.
• Always make sure that polarity is correct to prevent burst, damage, etc.
• While power is on or for some time after power-off, do not touch the inverter, high power factor
converter, reactors 1 and 2, or the external box as they are hot and you may get burnt.
