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.
Precautions 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.
If "EV" is displayed on the operation panel with FR-E7DS mounted, turn off the 24V external power supply before an
inspection.
9.1 Inspection items
It is recommended to install a device to monitor voltage for checking the power supply voltage to the inverter.
One to two years of periodic inspection cycle is recommended. However, it differs according to the installation environment.
For a periodic inspection, contact your sales representative.
REMARKS
For maintenance/inspection and parts life, also refer to the Instruction Manual (Applied).
