Replacement Note

Mitsubishi Electric’s FR-A700 replacement guide maps the base model FR-A740-15K to FR-A840-15K. Verify the full order code, option hardware, parameters and panel details before migration; the mapping does not by itself confirm a direct swap for every regional suffix.

Installation Guidelines

  • Mounting Position: Always install the drive vertically on a flat, non-flammable surface to facilitate optimal air convection.
  • Clearance Requirements: Ensure a minimum clearance of 50 mm on both sides and 100 mm above and below the unit for proper heat dissipation.
  • Grounding: Connect the protective earth terminal strictly to a low-impedance ground to prevent electromagnetic interference and electric shock.
  • Environmental Limits: Protect the unit from direct sunlight, corrosive gases, flammable materials, and fine conductive dust.

Compliance and Certifications

  • CE (European Conformity)
  • UL Listed / cUL
