Installation
Danger
Prohibited
- Do not install or operate the inverter if it is damaged or any part is missing from it.
Operating the inverter in a defective condition could lead to a shock or a fire.
Request your Toshiba dealer for repair.
Mandatory
- Install the inverter on a non-combustible board, such as a steel plate. Installing it
on an inflammable wall or board could lead to a fire because its back is heated up
during operation.
- Do not use the inverter with the front cover detached, or it could cause a shock.
- Install an emergency shutdown device which matches the system (for example, a
switch interlocked with the brake of the machine). Failure to do so could lead to
injury to persons since it has no emergency stop function.
- Do not use any optional devices other than those designated by Toshiba. The use
of improper devices could lead to accidents.
Warning
Prohibited
- Install the main unit on a wall, or the like, which is strong enough to withstand its
weight, or it could fall and cause injury to persons.
- Install a mechanical brake whenever the motor requires a brake (device which
retains the motor shaft). Failure to do so could lead to injury to persons because
the inverter itself has no function of mechanically retaining the brake shaft.
■
Installation place
Install the inverter vertically on a flat steel wall in a well-ventilated place. When installing two or
more inverters, leave a clearance of at least 10 cm between inverters placed side by side.
The clearances indicated above are minimum clearances to be secured. Every air-cooling type
model is equipped with a cooling fan. For this type of inverter, therefore, leave as large
clearances as possible above and under the inverter.
For a model designed for 37kW motors or larger, leave a clearance of at least 20 cm above and
under it for easy installation of wires and possible replacement of the fan.
Note) Do not install the inverter in a hot, damp, or dusty place, or a place full of metal chips.
When you intend to install in a critical environment, consult your Toshiba dealer in
advance.
