n I m p roved monitoring functions
• Simple operation for frequency settings.
• The main display on the control panel can be altered
between command fre q u e n c y, output frequency and other
s e t t i n g s .
• The four most recent faults are stored in the memory after a
power failure to facilitate system diagnosis.

• Frequency resolution
Digital setting: Min. 0.01Hz
Analog setting: Min. 0.1Hz
• Trip cause(s)
Instantaneous overc u rrent (ground fault
and high temperature), overc u rre n t ,
o v e rvoltage, low voltage, auxiliary
interlock, overload, operation error and

F u n c t i o n s
n Simple vector control
• Simple vector control ensures a high torque even at low
speeds (150% torque at 1 Hz).
• The output torque characteristics for general-purpose motors
when operated by an inverter at variable speeds are shown
b e l o w.
n Auto tuning function (with slip compensation)
• This function automatically detects and controls the constant
of a motor re q u i red for vector control and is applicable to
t h ree-phase squirrel-cage motors with 2, 4 or 6 poles.
n Speed search function
• The inverter is activated without stopping the motor (on a
f ree run) for a changeover from the commercial run to an
i n v e rter run or a re t u rn from sudden power failure .
n Improved tripless function
• This function automatically decreases the frequency when
the output current reaches the overc u rrent stall level during
overload operation.
• When the load re t u rns to normal, the function automatically
re t u rns the frequency to its original level and continues
o p e r a t i o n .
• The function prevents overc u rrent trips in equipment such as
kneading machines that are used for viscous materials.
