■ How to install
Danger
Prohibited
• Do not install or operate the inverter if it is damaged or any component is missing.
This can result in electric shock or fire. Please consult your local sales agency for repairs. Call your
local sales agency for repairs.
Mandatory
• Mount the inverter on a metal plate.
The rear panel gets very hot. Do not install in an inflammable object, this can result in fire.
• Do not operate with the front panel cover removed.
This can result in electric shock.
• An emergency stop device must be installed that fits with system specifications (e.g. shut off input
power then engage mechanical brake).
Operation cannot be stopped immediately by the inverter alone, thus risking an accident or injury.
• All options used must be those specified by Toshiba.
The use of any other option may result in an accident.
Warning
Mandatory
• The main unit must be installed on a base that can bear the unit's weight.
If the unit is installed on a base that cannot withstand that weight, the unit may fall resulting in injury.
• If braking is necessary (to hold motor shaft), install a mechanical brake.
The brake on the inverter will not function as a mechanical hold, and if used for that purpose, injury
may result.
Install the inverter in a well-ventilated indoor place and mount it on a flat metal plate in portrait orientation.
If you are installing more than one inverter, the separation between inverters should be at least 5 centimeters,
and they should be arranged in horizontal rows. If the inverters are horizontally arranged with no space
between them (side-by-side installation), peel off the ventilation seals on top of the inverter. It is necessary to
decrease the current if the inverter is operated at over 40°C.

The space shown in the diagram is the minimum allowable space. Because air cooled equipment has cooling
fans built in on the top or bottom surfaces, make the space on top and bottom as large as possible to allow
for air passage.
Note: Do not install in any location where there is high humidity or high temperatures and where there are
large amounts of dust, metallic fragments and oil mist.
