2 Safety precautions
2 Safety precautions
The precautions described below are intended to prevent danger or injury to the user and other
personnel through safe, correct use of the product. Use the product only after carefully reading and fully
understanding these instructions.
Handling the product without observing the instructions that accompany a “Warning”
Warning symbol may result in serious injury or death.
Handling the product without observing the instructions that accompany a “Caution”
Caution symbol may result in injury or property damage.
Warning
General
• Do not use the product in explosive or corrosive environments, in the presence of flammable gases,
locations subjected to splashing water, or near combustibles. Doing so may result in fire, electric
shock or injury.
• Assign qualified personnel the task of installing, wiring, operating/controlling, inspecting and
troubleshooting the product. Failure to do so may result in fire, electric shock or injury.
• Do not transport, install the product, perform connections or inspections when the power is on.
Always turn the power off before carrying out these operations. Failure to do so may result in electric
shock.
Installation
• Install the motor and speed controller in the enclosure in order to prevent electric shock or injury.
Connection
• Use the speed controller which power supply voltage is the same as that of the motor. Failure to do so
may result in fire or damage to equipment.
• The speed controller has no built-in fuse for overcurrent protection. Be sure to connect a device for
overcurrent protection (e.g. fuse) in the power input line. Failure to do so may result in fire.
• Connect the cables securely according to the wiring diagram in order to prevent fire or electric shock.
• Do not forcibly bend, pull or pinch the cable. Doing so may cause fire or electric shock.
• Be sure to observe the specified cable sizes. Use of unspecified cable sizes may result in fire.
Operation
• Turn off the speed controller power in the event of a power failure. Or the motor may suddenly start
when the power is restored and may cause injury or damage to equipment.
Maintenance and inspection
• Do not touch the main circuit terminal of the speed controller immediately after the power is turned
off (for a period of 1 minute). The residual voltage may cause electric shock.
Repair, disassembly and modification
• Do not disassemble or modify the speed controller. This may cause electric shock or injury.

3 Precautions for use
Caution
General
• Do not use the speed controller beyond its specifications, or electric shock, injury or damage to
equipment may result.
• When the speed controller's alarm is generated, first remove the cause and then reset the alarm.
Failure to do so may result in injury or damage to equipment.
Installation
• Keep the area around the speed controller free of combustible materials in order to prevent fire or a
skin burn(s).
Connection
• Do not wire the electromagnetic contactor or power relay between the motor and speed controller. To
switch the rotation direction using the electromagnetic contactor may cause damage to equipment.
Operation
• Use this speed controller in combination with an Oriental Motor's speed control motor equipped with
an overheat protection device. Failure to do so may result in fire.
• Provide an emergency stop device or emergency stop circuit external to the equipment so that the
entire equipment will operate safely in the event of a system failure or malfunction. Failure to do so
may result in injury.
• Immediately when trouble has occurred, stop running and turn off the speed controller power. Failure
to do so may result in fire, electrical shock or injury.
Maintenance and inspection
• Do not conduct insulation resistance test or withstand voltage test on the speed controller. Failure not
to do so may result in injury or damage to equipment.
Disposal
• To dispose of the speed controller, disassemble it into parts and components as much as possible and
dispose of individual parts/components as industrial waste.

Effective measures must be taken against the EMI that the speed controller may give to adjacent
control-system equipment, as well as the EMS of the speed controller itself, in order to prevent a serious
functional impediment in the machinery. The use of the following installation and wiring methods will
enable the speed controller to be compliant with the EMC Directive.

Output signals
The speed controller output signals are transistor/open-collector output. Connect the current-limiting
resistor to keep the SPEED-OUT output and ALARM-OUT output at maximum 10 mA and 40 mA,
respectively.

Note • Always connect a current-limiting resistor. If the power supply voltage is connected to
the output circuit directly without connecting a current-limiting resistor in between, the
speed controller will be damaged.

6 Basic operations
6 Basic operations
This chapter explains the basic operations of the speed controller.
6.1 Run/stop
When turning the FWD input or REV input ON, the motor will rotate at the set speed.
When turning the FWD input or REV input OFF while the motor operates, the motor will coast to a
stop.
When turning the FWD input and REV input ON simultaneously, the motor will stop instantaneously.
Note Do not operate the motor in vertical drive (gravitational operation).

7 Alarms
7 Alarms
When the protective function is actuated and an alarm generates, the ALARM-OUT output will turn
OFF. The motor coasts to a stop and once the motor has stopped, the motor output shaft becomes free.
At the same time, the ALARM LED will start blinking. The cause of the alarm can be checked by
counting the number of times the ALARM LED blinks.
The ALARM LED will illuminate briefly when the control DC power is turned on. This is not a
malfunction.

8 Inspection
It is recommended that periodic inspections be conducted for the items listed below after each operation
of the motor. If an abnormal condition is noted, discontinue any use and contact your nearest office.
During inspection
• Are there any scratches, signs of stress in the cable?
• The openings in the speed controller are not blocked.
• The main circuit terminal screws and control circuit terminal screws are not loose.
Note The speed controller uses semiconductor elements, so be extremely careful when
handling them. Static electricity may damage the speed controller.
