1. About this installation guide
To use MR-J3-D01 safely, carefully read the instruction manual or specification of each servo amplifier on which MR-J3-
D01 is mounted.
1.1 Manual
This installation guide explains how to mount MR-J3-D01.
If you have any questions about the operation of the equipment described in this guide, contact your local sales office.
In addition, when you mount a protective device, specific technical skills which are not detailed in the guide will be
required.
1.2 Purpose of this guide
This installation guide explains for engineers of machinery manufacturers and machine operators. For details of servo
amplifiers on which MR-J3-D01 is mounted, refer to each instruction manual or specification of the servo amplifiers.
2. About safety
This chapter explains safety of users and machine operators. Please read the chapter carefully before mounting the
equipment. In this installation guide, the specific warnings and cautions levels are classified as follows.
WARNING
Indicates that incorrect handling may cause hazardous conditions, resulting in death or severe injury.
CAUTION
Indicates that incorrect handling may cause hazardous conditions, resulting in medium or slight injury to
personnel or may cause physical damage.
2.1 Professional engineer
Only professional engineers should mount MR-J3-D01.
Here, professional engineers are persons who have taken proper engineering training.
Check if applicable technical training is available at your local Mitsubishi Electric office. Contact your local sales office
for schedules and locations.
2.2 Correct use
Use MR-J3-D01 within specifications. Refer to chapter 7 of this installation guide for specifications such as voltage,
temperature, etc.
Mitsubishi Electric Co. accepts no claims for liability if the equipment is used in any other way or if modifications are
made to the device, even in the context of mounting and installation.
WARNING
If you need to get close to the moving parts of the machine for inspection or others, ensure
safety by confirming the power off, etc. Otherwise, it may cause an accident.
2.2.1 Selection of peripheral equipment and wire
For details of MCCB, fuses, and wire selections of servo amplifiers on which MR-J3-D01 is mounted, refer to each
instruction manual or specification of the servo amplifiers.
MR-J3-D01 has a part for grounding on the frame (FG). Fix the metal part FG of MR-J3-D01 with a screw to ground.
2.2.2 EU compliance
The EC directives were issued to standardize the regulations of the EU countries and ensure smooth distribution of
safety-guaranteed products. The CE marking proves the compliance of the manufacturer with the EC directives, and this
marking also applies to machines and equipment incorporating servos.
(1) EMC requirement
The servo amplifiers on which MR-J3-D01 is mounted comply with category C3 in accordance with IEC/EN 61800-
3. As for I/O wires (max. length 10 m) and encoder cables (max. length 50 m), use shielded wires and ground the
shields. Install an EMC filter and surge protector on the primary side for input and output of 200 V class and for
output of 400 V class servo amplifiers. In addition, use a line noise filter for outputs of the 11 kW and 15 kW of 400
V class servo amplifiers. The following shows recommended products.
EMC filter: Soshin Electric HF3000A-UN series, TF3000C-TX series, COSEL FTB series
Surge protector: Okaya Electric Industries RSPD series Line noise filter: Mitsubishi Electric FR-BLF
MELSERVO Series are not intended to be used on a low-voltage public network which supplies domestic
premises; radio frequency interference is expected if used on such a network. The installer shall provide a guide
for Installation and use, including recommended mitigation devices. To avoid the risk of crosstalk to signal cables,
the installation instructions shall either recommend that the power interface cable be segregated from signal
cables. Use the DC power supply installed with the amplifiers in the same cabinet. Do not connect the other
electric devices to the DC power supply.
(2) For Declaration of Conformity (DoC)
Hereby, MITSUBISHI ELECTRIC EUROPE B.V. declares that the servo amplifiers are in compliance with EC
directives (EMC directive (2014/30/EU), Low voltage directive (2014/35/EU), and RoHS directive (2011/65/EU)).
For the copy of Declaration of Conformity, contact your local sales office.
2.2.3 USA/Canada compliance
The servo amplifiers on which MR-J3-D01 is mounted are designed in compliance with UL 508C and CSA C22.2 No. 14.
(1) Installation
The minimum cabinet size is 150% of each MR-J4 servo amplifier's volume including MR-J3-D01. Also, design the
cabinet so that the ambient temperature in the cabinet is 55 ˚C or less. MR-J3-D01 and servo amplifier must be
installed in a metal cabinet. For environment, the units should be used in open type (UL 50) and overvoltage
category III or lower. MR-J3-D01 and servo amplifier needs to be installed at or below pollution degree 2. For
connection, use only copper wires.
(2) Short-circuit current rating (SCCR)
Each servo amplifier on which MR-J3-D01 is mounted has checked with a short-circuit test.
(3) Overload protection characteristics
The servo amplifier on which MR-J3-D01 is mounted has servo motor overload protective function. (It is set on the
basis (full load current) of 120% rated current of the servo amplifier.)
(4) Over-temperature protection for motor
Motor Over temperature sensing is not provided by the drive. Integral thermal protection(s) is necessary for motor
and refer to chapter 4 for the proper connection.
(5) Capacitor discharge
It takes 15 minutes for capacitor discharging of the servo amplifier on which MR-J3-D01 is mounted. Do not touch
the unit and terminals immediately after power off.
(6) Branch circuit protection
For installation in United States, branch circuit protection must be provided, in accordance with the National
Electrical Code and any applicable local codes.
For installation in Canada, branch circuit protection must be provided, in accordance with the Canada Electrical
Code and any applicable provincial codes.
2.2.4 South Korea compliance
This product complies with the Radio Wave Law (KC mark). Please note the following to use the product.

(The product is for business use (Class A) and meets the electromagnetic compatibility requirements. The seller and the
user must note the above point, and use the product in a place except for home. In addition, use a ferrite core and line
noise filter for inputs and outputs.)
2.3 General cautions for safety protection and protective measures
Observe the following items to ensure proper use of the servo amplifiers on which MR-J3-D01 is mounted.
(1) Only qualified personnel and professional engineers should perform system installation.
(2) When mounting, installing, and using them, always observe standards and directives applicable in the country.
(3) They fulfill the requirements to conducted emissions at the main connections in the frequency range from 150 kHz
to 30 MHz. (Bases for the evaluation: Product standard IEC/EN 61800, adjustable speed electrical power drive
systems, Part 3: EMC)
2.4 Disposal
Disposal of unusable or irreparable devices should always occur in accordance with the applicable country-specific
waste disposal regulations. (Example: European Waste 16 02 14)
3. Mounting/dismounting
CAUTION
The devices must be installed in the specified direction. Not doing so may cause a malfunction.
Mount the servo amplifier on a cabinet which meets IP54 in the correct vertical direction to
maintain pollution degree 2.
The regenerative resistor supplied with 11 kW to 22 kW servo amplifiers does not have a
protective cover. Touching the resistor (including wiring/screw hole area) may cause a burn
injury and electric shock. Even if the power was shut-off, be careful until the bus voltage
discharged and the temperature decreased because of the following reasons.
It may cause a burn injury due to very high temperature without cooling.
It may cause an electric shock due to charged capacitor of the servo amplifier.
The following shows an example of mounting procedures of a 200 V class 100 W servo amplifier. For details of other
servo amplifiers, refer to each instruction manual or specification of the servo amplifiers on which MR-J3-D01 is
mounted.
