SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Electric Shock Prevention

WAR NIN G

• Do not open any cover on the inverter while power is on or while the inverter is running, as an electri­cal shock may result.

• Do not operate the inverter with any cover or wiring cover removed, as accidental contact with
exposed high-voltage terminals and internal components may occur, resulting in an electrical shock.

• If power is off do not remove any cover except when necessary for wiring or periodic inspection. While
any cover is removed, accidental contact with exposed high-voltage terminals and internal compo­nents may occur, resulting in an electrical shock.

• Prior to starting wiring or inspection, confirm that input power to the inverter has been switched off
via observation of the inverter’s display panel. Additionally, wait for at least 10 minutes after removal
of input power, and then confirm that all residual voltage has been dissipated by using a voltage
meter. Internal DC bus capacitors may contain high voltages for several minutes after removal of input
power, resulting in a dangerous situation should anything come into contact with them.

• All personnel involved in the installation or inspection of this equipment should be fully competent to
perform the required work.

• Always install plug-in options prior to wiring main power.

• Do not touch the plug-in option with wet hands.

• Do not subject the cables to scratches, excessive stress, heavy loads or pinching.

Injury Prevention

CAUTION

• To prevent explosions or similar damage, apply only the voltages specified in the instruction manual
to each terminal.

• To prevent explosions or similar damage, ensure that all cables are properly connected to the correct
terminals.

• To prevent explosions or similar damage, observe all wiring polarity indicators.

• To prevent burns from hot components, do not touch the inverter while power is on, or for some time
after power is removed.

2.1 Pre-installation Instructions

WAR NIN G

To avoid damage to the inverter or plug-in option board, never install or remove a plug-in option board
while the inverter’s input power is on.
Make sure that the inverter’s power is OFF.

Physical installation of the option board is a two-step process. First, the card will be mounted
onto an available option connector on the inverter’s control board. Second, the card will be con­nected to the PROFIBUS network using a PROFIBUS cable.

2.2 Installation Procedure

햲 Make sure that power is off.

햳 Remove both lids of the FR-A800 or FR-F800.

– Unscrew the two screws in the bottom corners of the inverter.

– Remove the lid covering the lower front of the inverter.

– Unscrew the screw in the bottom right corner of the lid covering the upper front of the in-

verter.

– Remove the lid.

3.3 Inverter setup

This chapter describes the first part of setting up a system using an A800 or F800 inverter con­trolled by Profibus. It assumes that the A8NDPV1 option card has been installed correctly, and all
inverter parameters are set to default values. This setup will be used for all get started example
programs.

The first step is to set the FDL address of the inverter Profibus slave. One way to do this is to set
parameter 1305 to the desired address, and parameter 1307 to 1. After restarting the inverter, the
option card will be available under the input address. The valid range for the FDL address is 0-125.

Parameter No. Va lue

1305 (1) FDL Address

1307 (1)

The next step is to change the operation mode of the inverter to network mode. Do this, by leav­ing the default setting of parameter 79 (0), and setting parameter 340 to 1. After restarting the
inverter, it should operate in network mode. For detailed settings, please refer to A800 or F800
manual.
