INSTALLATION WARNINGS
CAUTION
When “HEAVY!” is shown, two or more persons are required to move the equipment.
When moving the inverter, do not pick up by the enclosure; injury to personnel and/or the unit may
result. Only lift using the heat sink.
Do not operate an inverter that is damaged or has missing parts.
Install the inverter on metal or other nonflammable materials.
Mount the inverter according to the weight of the unit listed in this manual.
Do not place flammables near the inverter.
Prevent foreign objects from entering the unit. This includes any conductive material, dust, corrosive
gases or flammable materials.
2
WIRING
DANGER
Use lock-out procedures to insure the power supply is OFF before wiring.
Ground the inverter.
Proper sizing of protective devices for the AC drive are required.
CAUTION
Do not connect the output terminals (U, V, and W) to an AC power supply.
Verify proper AC input voltage levels exist before installation or operation.
Do not connect a resistor directly to the DC terminals (P and N).
Torque the terminal screw thread to the specified value.
3
ADJUSTMENT AND OPERATION
DANGER
Install the front cover before turning ON the power. Do not remove the cover when inverter is
energized.
Follow electrical safety procedures while working on AF-3100α.
When the restart-after-fault function or retry function is selected, be prepared for sudden operation of
the inverter. Always follow safety procedures to protect personnel from unexpected operation.
Ensure the Start signal is OFF before re-setting to prevent unexpected inverter operation.
Do not touch; high voltages are present on the terminals of the AC drive while energized; voltages are
lethal. Perform installation or maintenance in a dry environment.
Provide an independent emergency stop contact for the inverter.
Before initial operation the direction of rotation of the motor is undetermined. If the driven machine can
be damaged by rotation in the wrong direction, uncouple the motor from the load before attempting to
operate the drive.
CAUTION
Do not connect the output terminals (U, V, and W) to an AC power supply.
Verify the rated voltage of the inverter coincides with the voltage of the AC power supply.
Do not connect a resistor directly to the DC terminals (P and N).
Torque the terminal screw threads to the specified value.

MAINTENANCE, INSPECTION, AND
PARTS REPLACEMENT
DANGER
Do not remove the covers for approximately 10 minutes after the power is turned OFF; high voltages
exist for several minutes after power is removed.
Only persons trained to maintain or replace components on electrical equipment should work on the
AF-3100α drive.
Always disconnect the power to the inverter before beginning inspection of the motor or other
electrical equipment.
DANGER
Do not attempt to repair the inverter. Contact the nearest service office when repair or replacement
may be necessary.
The inverter should be disposed of as general industrial waste.
GENERAL PRECAUTIONS
All illustrations in this operation manual show the details of the inverter without covers. When
operating the inverter, ensure all covers are in their original position. Always operate the
inverter according to the operations manual.

Carefully read the following suggestions to ensure
correct wiring. Follow the National Electric Code or
local electrical codes.
Safety precautions
DANGER
Wiring to be installed by a licensed electrician.
Verify AC power is disconnected before wiring.
High voltages exist for several minutes after removal of power. Wait approximately 10 minutes before
attempting to work on the drive.
Ground the inverter per instructions in the manual and/or in accordance with the National Electric
Code or local electrical codes.
Install a circuit breaker/fuse for protection of the inverter in accordance with the National Electric
Code or applicable local codes.
CAUTION
Do not connect the output terminals (U, V, and W) of the drive to the AC power supply; catastrophic
equipment failure will result.
Do not connect a resistor directly to the DC terminals (P and N). Contact the factory for assistance.
Verify the rated voltage of the inverter coincides with the voltage of the AC power supply.
Torque the terminal screw thread to the specified value (page 11).

OPERATION
5-1. Safety precautions
DANGER
Do not operate unless in a dry environment.
Do not touch any component of the inverter with power applied. Some components are at DC bus
potential after input power is removed for several seconds.
If the inverter has a run signal, the inverter will restart upon RESET. Always open run contacts before
reseting inverter.
Always install the front cover before applying AC power. Do not remove the cover with power applied.
Provide a separate, independent emergency stop contact for the inverter.
Verify the driven load can be safely operated; if not, ensure the motor is uncoupled from the
connected load.
Note: When initially operating a 3-phase AC motor, the direction of rotation is undetermined. If the driven machinery can be damaged by rotation in
the wrong direction, uncouple the motor from the load before attempting to operate the drive.
CAUTION
Do not touch the heatsink or braking resistor; temperatures in excess of 300° C can be present.
Verify the speed ranges of the inverter match the allowable speeds of the connected motor.
Use an external motor brake as necessary.
Do not touch the cooling fan.

DANGER
Only qualified persons should attempt to inspect or repair the inverter.
Do not alter, attempt repair or replace unauthorized parts in the inverter.
Delay inspection of the inverter until approximately 10 minutes has passed. Potentially lethal voltages
exist in the drive and may remain at dangerous levels for several minutes after the power is removed.
Before attempting to service this controller, wait until the “bus charged” lamp goes out and measure
the DC bus voltage to insure that it is zero. Check the DC voltage between P and N and confirm that it
is less than 45 V.

Higher harmonic control
The “equivalent capacity” is calculated by converting the capacity of the user’s higher
Start harmonic generator into the capacity of a 6-pulse converter and totaling the capacity of
each equipment. The following formula is used for calculation.
Po = ∑ KiPi
Po: Equivalent capacity (conversion into 6-pulse converter)

Prohibited, general Disassembly prohibited Contact prohibited

General attention demanded Ground

Do not operate an inverter that is damaged or has missing parts.

Install the inverter on metal or other nonflammable materials.

Do not place flammables near the inverter.

Ground the inverter.

Proper sizing of protective devices for the AC drive are required.

Verify proper AC input voltage levels exist before installation or operation.

Do not connect a resistor directly to the DC terminals (P and N).

Torque the terminal screw thread to the specified value.

Follow electrical safety procedures while working on AF-3100α.

Provide an independent emergency stop contact for the inverter.

Do not connect a resistor directly to the DC terminals (P and N).

Torque the terminal screw threads to the specified value.

The inverter should be disposed of as general industrial waste.
