Maintenance timer
Mitsubishi Electric · Mitsubishi FR-E800 Variable Frequency Drive
What does MT mean?
This indicator appears when the inverter's cumulative energization time reaches or exceeds the value set in parameter Pr.504. It serves as a reminder that routine maintenance may be due for the equipment.
Common Causes
- Cumulative energization time has reached the threshold set in Pr.504 (Maintenance timer setting).
- Environmental conditions (e.g., high temperature, dust) accelerate component wear, making maintenance due earlier than anticipated.
- Cooling fan operating hours exceeding recommended service life.
- Electrolytic capacitor aging approaching end-of-life.
Repair Steps & Checklist
Click steps to track your progress.
- 1
Record the current operating hours displayed (e.g., Pr.504 related monitor value) for historical tracking.
- 2
Inspect cooling fans for bearing noise, reduced airflow, or physical damage, and clean or replace if necessary.
- 3
Clean inverter heatsinks and cooling passages to ensure optimal heat dissipation.
- 4
Visually inspect electrolytic capacitors on the main circuit board for bulging or leakage.
- 5
Reset Pr.504 (Maintenance timer setting) after completing maintenance tasks.
