Application
• The FRENIC-Ace is designed to drive a three-phase induction motor. Do not use it for single-phase motors
or for other purposes.
Fire or an accident could occur.
• The FRENIC-Ace may not be used for a life-support system or other purposes directly related to the human
safety.
• Though the FRENIC-Ace is manufactured under strict quality control, install safety devices for applications
where serious accidents or property damages are foreseen in relation to the failure of it.
An accident could occur.
Installation
• Install the inverter on a base made of metal or other non-flammable material.
Otherwise, a fire could occur.
• Do not place flammable object nearby.
Doing so could cause fire.
• Inverters FRN0085E2
■
-4G or above, whose protective structure is IP00, involve a possibility that a human
body may touch the live conductors of the main circuit terminal block. Inverters to which an optional DC
reactor is connected also involve the same. Install such inverters in an inaccessible place.
Otherwise, electric shock or injuries could occur.
• Do not support the inverter by its front cover during transportation.
Doing so could cause a drop of the inverter and injuries.
• Prevent lint, paper fibers, sawdust, dust, metallic chips, or other foreign materials from getting into the
inverter or from accumulating on the heat sink.
• When changing the positions of the top and bottom mounting bases, use only the specified screws.
Otherwise, a fire or an accident might result.
• Do not install or operate an inverter that is damaged or lacking parts.
Doing so could cause fire, an accident or injuries.
