Mitsubishi FR-E500 FR-E520-0.1KND Inverter F.A.Q.

How do I perform a factory reset on the Mitsubishi FR-E500 FR-E520-0.1KND Inverter?

To perform a factory reset, turn off the power to the inverter. Then, hold down the 'Mode' and 'Set' buttons simultaneously, and turn the power back on. Keep holding the buttons until the inverter display shows 'All' or 'AL,' indicating that the reset process has been completed.

What are the common fault codes for the Mitsubishi FR-E500 FR-E520-0.1KND Inverter and how can I troubleshoot them?

Common fault codes include E.OC1 (Overcurrent during acceleration), E.OC2 (Overcurrent during constant speed), and E.OL (Overload). For E.OC1 and E.OC2, check for short circuits or increase the acceleration time. For E.OL, reduce the load or increase the motor capacity.

How can I change the frequency setting on the Mitsubishi FR-E500 FR-E520-0.1KND Inverter?

To change the frequency setting, press the 'PU' button to enter the programming mode. Use the 'Up' and 'Down' arrows to navigate to parameter 1 (Pr.1) for frequency setting. Adjust the frequency using the 'Up' and 'Down' arrows, then press 'Set' to confirm.

What maintenance procedures should be regularly performed on the Mitsubishi FR-E500 FR-E520-0.1KND Inverter?

Regular maintenance should include cleaning the inverter to prevent dust accumulation, inspecting for any loose connections, checking for unusual noises or vibrations, and ensuring proper ventilation. Also, periodically check the capacitors and cooling fans for wear and tear.

How do I connect the Mitsubishi FR-E500 FR-E520-0.1KND Inverter to a PLC for remote control?

To connect the inverter to a PLC, use the RS-485 communication port. Configure the communication parameters such as baud rate, data bits, and stop bits on both the inverter and PLC to match. Use a suitable communication protocol (e.g., Modbus) to establish control commands.

Can the Mitsubishi FR-E500 FR-E520-0.1KND Inverter be used with a single-phase motor?

The Mitsubishi FR-E500 FR-E520-0.1KND Inverter is designed for three-phase motors. Using it with a single-phase motor is not recommended as it may lead to improper operation or damage. Consider using a compatible inverter designed for single-phase motors.
