2. INSTALLATION
These instructions guide you through the installation of the IP54 control box that you have purchased
for your FR12, FR14, FI12, FI14, CH64 or CH74 size frequency converter.
1. IP54 control box bottom plate with
starcoupler board
2. Connect the fibre optic cables. Push
carefully the cables into the cellfoam
bushings
5. Close the cover by pushing it
carefully down so that the D-connector
connects thoroughly.
3. Each fibre optic cable has a number
1...8 and 11…18 marked on the cable
shield at both cable ends. Connect each
cable to the connectors marked with
the same number on the starcoupler
board. The list of the optic signals can
be found in chapter 2.1
6. Attach the cover with four screws
(tightening torque 1,5 nm)
4. Connect the 24 V cable and lead it
through the bushing as shown in the
figure.
7. Apply a thin layer of grease to the
cellfoam washers
8. Push the cellfoam washer into the
guides in the enclosure.
