Operations
Danger
Prohibited
Do not apply a dropping shock or other physical shocks.
Otherwise, damage or malfunction will result.
Do not yank the interconnect cable.
Otherwise, damage or malfunction will result.
Even if this product is deactivated by the occurrence of an event such as an abnormality,
when power is supplied to the inverter, do not bring any regions of your body into contact
with the inverter terminals. Contact during the power-on status of the inverter can result in
electric shock.
Disposal
Warning
Mandatory
If you throw away this unit, have it done by a specialist in industry waste disposal*. If you
throw away the inverter by yourself, this can result in explosion of capacitor or produce
noxious gases, resulting in injury.
(*) Persons who specialize in the processing of waste and known as “industrial waste
product collectors and transporters” or “industrial waste disposal persons.” If the
collection, transport and disposal of industrial waste is done by someone who is not
licensed for that job, it is a punishable violation of the law. (Laws in regard to cleaning and
processing of waste materials)
Cautions in using the unit
Notes
Do not install the unit where it will be exposed to abrupt changes in temperature or
humidity.
Leave space between the interconnect cable (between the inverter and the USB device)
and the power cable from the inverter. Or the inverter could malfunction because of noise.
Do not connect the conversion unit to more than one inverter. Connect the conversion unit
to either the “RS485 (2-wire type)” port or the “LOGIC” port on your inverter, depending on
the type of the inverter.
Do not disconnect the USB cable during communication with the inverter.
Avoid connecting the conversion unit to a USB hub or extended USB port (e.g., PCMCIA
card). Or else the conversion unit may become unstable, depending on the environment in
which it is used.
To allow an emergency stop by means of an external device, insert a magnetic contact or
similar device between the inverter and the power supply.
Caution in creating a software program
Notes
The communications software created based on the instruction manual for each
TOSVERT series communication function can be used as-is, if the COM port number is
changed properly. The conversion unit may, however, be detached from the operating
system as a result of a transmission error due to noise, and therefore the occurrence of
transmission timeout errors should be monitored using the software, and if they occur in
succession, open the port again.
