Mitsubishi Electric FR A5AX F.A.Q.

How do I reset the FR A5AX inverter to factory settings?

To reset the FR A5AX inverter to factory settings, navigate to the parameter setting mode, select 'All Parameter Clear', and confirm the action. This will restore all parameters to their default state.

What is the correct procedure for connecting the FR A5AX to a PLC?

Connect the FR A5AX to a PLC using the RS-485 communication interface. Ensure the communication parameters such as baud rate and parity are set identically on both devices for successful communication.

How can I troubleshoot an E.Uu (Undervoltage) error on the FR A5AX?

Check the input power supply voltage to ensure it is within the specified range. Verify the connections and inspect for any loose wires. Additionally, inspect for any sudden load changes that might cause voltage drops.

What maintenance steps should be taken to ensure the longevity of the FR A5AX inverter?

Regularly inspect and clean the cooling fans and heat sinks to prevent overheating. Check all electrical connections for tightness and inspect for any signs of wear or damage. Ensure the environment is clean and free of dust.

Can the FR A5AX be used in a multi-motor application?

Yes, the FR A5AX can be used in a multi-motor application. Ensure that the total current does not exceed the rated current of the inverter and that each motor has overload protection.

How do I program a simple start/stop function on the FR A5AX?

To program a start/stop function, use the digital input terminals. Assign one terminal for the start command and another for the stop command in the parameter settings.

What should I do if the FR A5AX display is not turning on?

First, check the power supply to ensure the inverter is receiving power. Inspect the display panel connections for any loose or damaged cables. If the issue persists, contact Mitsubishi Electric support for further assistance.

How often should the FR A5AX's cooling components be inspected?

The cooling components, such as fans and heat sinks, should be inspected at least once every 6 months. If the inverter is operating in a dusty environment, more frequent inspections may be necessary.

What is the procedure for updating the firmware on the FR A5AX?

To update the firmware, download the latest firmware from Mitsubishi Electric's official website. Use the appropriate software tool and a USB cable to connect the inverter to a computer, then follow the on-screen instructions to complete the update.

How can I reduce harmonic distortion when using the FR A5AX?

To reduce harmonic distortion, consider using harmonic filters or reactors. Additionally, ensure that the inverter is properly grounded and that the installation complies with relevant electrical standards.
