1.1Overview
This purpose of this document is to provide an easy transition from the G+/VG+ Series 3 to the G+/VG+ Series 4.
For the advanced portion, please refer to the G+/VG+ Series 4 Instruction Manual (P/N 144-23910).
1.2Drive Replacement Checklist
ItemCheckpointsChecked?
• Can the existing mounting holes be used? Check if the new drive dimensions
are different than the current drive.
– Verify that the existing dimensions reference in Section 1.7, “Dimensions,
installation space and substitution material” of this manual compares the
Basic

sizes of the current and new unit. If a mechanical substitution kit is necessary,
it is referenced in Section 1.7.
< Digital operator >
• Was a remote operator connected to the current unit?
– If so, do not attempt to connect the G+ Series 3 remote operator to the G+
Series 4, as they are incompatible.
< Wire Length
• In the replacement drive, the main and control circuit terminals may be mounted
in different positions. Check to ensure all cables are long enough to be
connected to the new unit.
< Main circuit wires and terminal specifications >
• Compare the occupied terminals of the current unit with the new drive’s
terminals (shape, size, etc.), and verify that the wires fit in the new unit’s
terminals, using Section 1.5 “Terminals”, specifically “Control Terminal Sizes
and Wire Sizes” of this document.
< Check the parameter settings
• Read the parameter settings of the current unit and perform a parameter
conversion to the new parameters.
– Use IMPULSE
– Consult Magnetek Service for conversion assistance.
– If there is special software installed or parameters appear that are not
mentioned in this document, contact your Magnetek representative.

4.
– Never attempt to apply G+ Series 3 option cards to the G+ Series 4 unit.
– The option card on the G+ Series 4 may have a different connector on the G+
Series 3. Make sure that the connectors fit into the new option card before
using it.
< Is a braking resistor installed?
• Check if a braking resistor is installed on the current drive.
– Inspect the braking resistor for physical damage or wear before connecting it
to the new drive.
– Inspect the DB wiring for cracking and possible shorts.
– Connect the braking resistor to the equivalent terminals on the new unit.
– The terminals might have a different location in the new drive; check to ensure
that existing wiring is long enough to reach the new terminal location.
– Verify terminal differences.
< Is a braking unit installed?
• Check if a braking unit is used in the current installation.
– Inspect the braking unit for physical damage or wear before connecting it to
the new drive.
– Connect the braking unit to the equivalent terminals on the new unit.
– The terminals might have a different location in the new drive; check to ensure
that existing wiring is long enough to reach the new terminal location.
< Is an AC reactor or DC choke installed?
• Check if an AC reactor or DC choke is used in the current installation.
– Inspect the reactor or choke and wiring for physical damage or wear before
connecting it to the new drive.
– Make sure that the reactor or choke data are appropriate for the replacement
drive.
– The terminals might have a different location in the new drive; check to ensure
that existing wiring is long enough to reach the new terminal location.
