Safety Information
Read and follow all safety instructions in this manual precisely to avoid unsafe operating conditions,
property damage, personal injury, or death.
Safety symbols in this manual
| Danger |
| Indicates an imminently hazardous situation which, if not avoided, will result in severe injury or death. |
| Warning |
| Indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided, could result in injury or death. |
| Caution |
| Indicates a potentially hazardous situation that, if not avoided, could result in minor injury or property damage. |
Safety information
| Danger |
| Do not open the cover of the equipment while it is on or operating. Likewise, do not operate the inverter while the cover is open. Exposure of high voltage terminals or charging are to the external environment may cause an electric shock. Do not remove any covers or touch the internal circuit boards (PCBs) or electrical contacts on the product when the power is on or during operation. Doing so may cause serious injury, death or serious property damage. Do not open the cover of the equipment even when the power supply to the inverter has been turned off unless it is necessary for maintenance or regular inspection. Opening the cover may lead to an electric shock even when the power supply is off. The equipment may hold charge long after the power supply has been turned off. Use a multi meter to make sure that there is no voltage before working on the inverter, motor, or motor cable. |
6
| Warning |
| This equipment must be grounded for safe and proper operation. Do not supply power to a faulty inverter. If you find that the inverter is faulty, disconnect the power supply and have the Inverter repaired. The Inverter becomes hot during operation. Avoid touching the Inverter until it has cooled down to avoid burns. Do not allow external objects, such as screws, metal chips, debris, water, or oil to get inside the Inverter. Allowing external substances inside the Inverter may cause the Inverter to malfunction or ignite fire. Do not operate the Inverter with wet hands. Doing so may cause electric shock. |
| Caution |
| Do not modify the interior structure/components of the Inverter. Doing so will void the warranty. The Inverter is designed for 3-phase motor operation. Do not use the Inverter to operate 3- phase motor. Do not place heavy objects on top of electric cables. Doing so may damage the cable and cause an electric shock. |

1.3 Parameter Change
1.3.1 Carrier Frequency Change
The following example demonstrates how to configure Carrier Frequency by modifying CON group 04
code(Carrier Frequency) from 3.00(Hz) to 10.00(Hz). You can configure the parameters for different
codes in any other group in exactly the same way.
| Step | Instruction | Keypad Display |
| 1 | Monitor Mode is displayed. | |
| 2 | Shift to CON by using Mode key. | |
| 3 | Shift to code 04 using Down key. Press PROG. |
1. Basic Checklist
15
| 4 | Change the Carrier Frequency to 10 using Up key. Press ENT. |
| 5 | The display come back to the initialization selection after finishing Carrier Frequency Change |
Adjust motor operational noise by changing carrier frequency settings. Power transistors (IGBT) in the
inverter generate and supply high frequency switching voltage to the motor. The switching speed in this
process refers to the carrier frequency. If the carrier frequency is set high, it reduces operational noise
from the motor, and if the carrier frequency is set low, it increases operational noise from the motor.
Below are advantages and disadvantages according to the sound of the inverter during operation.
| Item | Carrier Frequency | |
| LOW | HIGH | |
| Motor noise | ↑ | ↓ |
| Heat generation | ↓ | ↑ |
| Noise generation | ↓ | ↑ |
| Leakage current | ↓ | ↑ |

| CNF-47 Parameter Write |
Copies the parameter saved in the keypad to the inverter. The existing parameters in the inverter are all deleted. In case of an error during parameter writing motion, the previously saved data can be directly used. If there is no data saved in the keypad, a message reading “ EEP Rom Empty “ is displayed. |
| CNF-48 Parameter Save |
Because the parameters set in communication are saved in the RAM area, they are all gone if the inverter power is turned Off/On. If you set parameters in communication and select Yes in CNF-48 Parameter Save, the set parameters remain unchanged even if the inverter power is turned Off/On. |

2 Troubleshooting
This chapter explains how to troubleshoot when the protective functions, fault trips, warning signals,
or a fault occurs while operating the inverter. If the inverter does not work as expected after
following the suggested troubleshooting steps, please contact the LSIS Customer Service Center.
2.1 Trips and Warning
The Inverter will stop operating or send out a warning signal when it detected a fault. The keypad
will show brief information of the trip and warning signal. If the model is using the LCD keypad, the
LCD will show detailed information.
The following is how the fault conditions are categorized.
• Level: After the fault is corrected, the trip or warning signal disappears. The fault is not saved
in the fault history.
• Latch: After the fault is corrected, the trip or warning signal disappears once the Inverter is
reset.
• Fatal: After the fault is corrected, the trip or warning signal disappears when conducted the
following procedure. Turn off the Inverter and wait until the charge indicator light goes off. Then,
turn on the Inverter. If the Inverter still failed, please contact the supplier or LSIS Customer
Service Center.
2.1.1 Failure/Warning List
The following table shows a list of faults and warning signals that can occur while operating H100.

3.1.5 Replace Cooling FAN
If the inverter continued to operate after the cooling fan trip took place, a protective function will be
activated due to overheat in the cooling fan. Increase in temperature may reduce the lifespan of
major components. Make sure to solve the problem in the cooling fan before operating the inverter.
If the cooling fan has been operating longer than its (optimal) replacement period, this may lead to
low performance of the inverter or the cause of inverter failure. The replacement period of the
cooling fans is 3 years. Replace the old cooling fans with the new one
Replacement of 5.5~30kW FAN
1) Remove the fan cover by pressing the hook located by the arrow
2) Disconnect the fan wire and remove the fan from the inverter.
3. Maintenance
43
Replacement of 37~55kW FAN
1) Remove ❶ screws to separate the fan bracket from the inverter.
2) Disconnect the fan wire and remove ❷ screws.
Replacement of 75~90kW FAN
1) Remove ❶ screws to separate the fan bracket from the inverter.
2) Disconnect the fan wire and remove ❷ screws.
3. Maintenance
44
| Caution |
| Turn off the inverter before replacing the fan. There is a possibility of an electric shock due to the charge voltage. Wait until the inverter is fully discharged to replace the fan. (The time to discharge varies per capacity, in average 1~3 minutes after turning off the inverter). Make sure the fan wire and connect is not touching the blades. If touched it leads to malfunction of the inverter. Make sure the inverter is completely turned off before cleaning. After replacing the fan, assemble the fan. Before using the inverter, turn on the inverter and check the condition of the fan by its motion. Be careful of the direction of the fan. |
3.2 Storage and Disposal
3.2.1 Storage
Store the products in the following conditions listed below (if not used for a long period of time).
Store the product in the same appropriate environmental conditions as in operation.
If the product will be stored more than 3 months, keep the ambient temperature between -
10℃~30℃ to prevent degradation of the electrolytic capacitor.
The products should not be exposed to snow, rain, fog and dust.
When packing the inverter, include a dehumidifier (e.g. silica gel) to keep the ambient
temperature inside the package below 70% and prevent in contact with moisture.
| | If the products will be left in a humid or dusty environment (construction sites or control panel) separate the products in a location that has the same appropriate environmental conditions as |
in operation.
3.2.2 Disposal
Categorize the inverters as general industrial waste when disposing the product. Note that there
are recyclable raw materials in the product, such as packing materials and metalwork. For the sake
of conservation of energy and resources, recycle whenever possible. Depending on the country,
plastic may be recyclable. Please check the local environmental regulations for more details.
| Caution |
| Capacitors lose their charging characteristics if not operated for a long time. In order to prevent this from happening, turn on the product and allow the device to operate for 30~60 minutes once a year. Note that operation should be conducted under no-load conditions. |
