Dynamic Breaking Drive Circuit None (braking module is optional)
Input terminal function (programmable) Possible to select from among about 60 functions, such as forward/reverse run signal input, jog run signal input, operation base signal input and reset signal input, to assign to 5 input terminals. Logic selectable between sink and source.
Output terminal functions (programmable) Possible to select from among about 40 functions, such as upper/lower limit frequency signal output, low speed detection signal output, specified speed reach signal output and failure signal output, to assign to FL relay output, open collector output terminals.
Forward/reverse run The RUN and STOP keys on the operation panel are used to start and stop operation, respectively. Forward/reverse run possible through communication and contact inputs from the terminal block.
Jog run Jog mode, if selected, allows jog operation from the terminal board.
Preset speed operation Base frequency + 15-speed operation possible by changing the combination of 4 contacts on the terminal board.
Retry operation Capable of restarting automatically after a check of the main circuit elements in case the protective function is activated. 10 times (Max.) (selectable with a parameter)
Various prohibition settings / Password setting Possible to write-protect parameters and to prohibit the change of panel frequency settings and the use of operation panel for operation, emergency stop or resetting. Possible to write-protect parameters by setting 4 digits password.
Regenerative power ridethrough control Possible to keep the motor running using its regenerative energy in case of a momentary power failure (default: OFF).
Auto-restart operation In the event of a momentary power failure, the inverter reads the rotational speed of the coasting motor and outputs a frequency appropriate to the rotational speed in order to restart the motor smoothly. This function can also be used when switching to commercial power.

Environments Location of use Indoors; not exposed to direct sunlight, corrosive gas, explosive gas, flammable gas, oil mist, or dust; and vibration of less than 5.9 m/s2 (10 to 55 Hz).
Elevation 3000 m or less (current reduction required over 1000 m) Note 6)
Ambient temperature -10 to +60 degreeC Note 3) Note 4)
Storage temperature -25 to +70 degreeC
Relative humidity 5 to 95% (free from condensation and vapor).

Note 1) It is necessary to finely adjust Bias and Gain parameters of each analog input.
Note 2) Be careful, if 4-20 mA is selected, when the inverter's power is ON, the internal impedance is 250 ohm, but when the power is OFF, the internal impedance increases very much to approximately 40 k ohm.
Note 3) Above 40 degreeC : Remove the protective seal from the top of VF-nC3. If the ambient temperature is above 50 degreeC: Remove the seal from the top of the inverter and use the inverter with the rated output current reduced.
Note 4) If inverters are installed side by side (with no sufficient space left between them): Remove the seal from the top of each inverter. When installing the inverter where the ambient temperature will rise above 40 degreeC, remove the seal from the top of the inverter and use the inverter with the rated output current reduced.
Note 5) For a side-by-side installation, remove the seal on top. However, in areas where the ambient temperature exceeds 40 degreeC, remove the seal on top and reduce the rated output current.
Note 6) Current must be reduced by 1% for each 100 m over 1000 m. For example, 90% at 2000 m and 80% at 3000 m.
