These Operating Instructions can be used for all AF-650 GP
frequency converters with software version 2.1x.
The software version number can be seen from ID-43 Software
Version.

2.1.2 High Voltage

WARNING
The voltage of the frequency converter is dangerous
whenever the drive is connected to mains. Incorrect instal-
lation or operation of the motor or frequency converter
may cause damage to the equipment, serious personal
injury or death. The instructions in this manual must
consequently be observed, as well as applicable local and

2.1.3 Safety Instructions

•
Make sure the drive is properly connected to
earth.
•
Protect users against supply voltage.
•
Protect the motor against overloading according
to national and local regulations.
•
Motor overload protection is not included in the
default settings. To add this function, set
F-10 Electronic Overload to value Elec. OL trip or
Elec. OL warning. For the North American market:
Electronic Thermal Overload functions provide
class 20 motor overload protection, in accordance
with NEC.
•
The earth leakage current exceeds 3.5mA.
•
The [OFF] key is not a safety switch. It does not
disconnect the drive from mains.
2.1.4 General Warning
WARNING
Warning:
Touching the electrical parts may be fatal - even after the
equipment has been disconnected from mains.
Also make sure that other voltage inputs have been
disconnected, such as load-sharing (linkage of DC
intermediate circuit), as well as the motor connection for
kinetic back-up.
When using the drive: wait at least 40 minutes.
Shorter time is allowed only if indicated on the nameplate
for the specific unit.
