Compliance with the EU Machinery Directive—

Safety sub-functions

 FR-A800-F/G (with CC-Link IE TSN safety communication option (FR-

A8NCG-S) installed)

This product with the CC-Link IE TSN safety communication option (FR-A8NCG-S) installed supports safety sub-functions

(STO and SS1-t) specified in IEC 61800-5-2. By connecting the inverter with a safety programmable controller with an Ethernet

cable, signal input via safety communication is enabled.

For compliance with the EU Machinery Directive, refer to the FR-A8NCG-S Instruction Manual.

The inverters manufactured in October 2023 (SERIAL: □3X○○○○○○) or later with the FR-A8NCG-S manufactured in October

2023 (SERIAL: □3X○○○) or later are compliant with the directive.

To use safety sub-functions, any work on the product such as wiring and inspections must be performed according to this

Instruction Manual and the Instruction Manual of the CC-Link IE TSN safety communication option (FR-A8NCG-S) by

technicians who took a safety standard training.

WARNING

• Any misuse of safety sub-functions may cause physical injury, damage to property, or economic loss. To confirm that the

system is compliant with safety standards, a risk assessment must be conducted for the entire system. We shall not be

liable for the compliance of the system with safety standards.

• To avoid an electric shock hazard, verify that the voltage on the bus capacitors has discharged before working on the

inverter. Measure the DC bus voltage between terminals P/+ and N/- or other measurement points to verify zero voltage.

(For the measurement points and the capacitor discharge time, refer to the Instruction Manual of the inverter.)

• When the power supply to the gate drive circuit is shut off by a safety sub-function, the inverter and the motor are not

insulated each other. To avoid an electric shock hazard, verify that the voltage on the bus capacitors has discharged

before wiring or inspection of the motor. Measure the DC bus voltage between terminals P/+ and N/- or other

measurement points to verify zero voltage. (For the measurement points and the capacitor discharge time, refer to the

Instruction Manual of the inverter.)

CAUTION

• Check safety sub-functions at least once per three months. Note that the CC-Link IE TSN safety communication option

(FR-A8NCG-S) must be restarted before the operation check.

• The following information is merely a guide for proper installation.

We shall not be liable for the compliance or non-compliance with any local, national, or international codes or regulations

for the installation of this product. Installation not compliant with applicable codes or directives may cause physical injury

or damage to property.
