WARNING
CAUTION
Note that the CAUTION level may lead to a serious consequence according to conditions. Please follow the instructions of both levels because they are important to personnel safety.

Assumes that incorrect handling may cause hazardous conditions, resulting in
medium or slight injury, or may cause physical damage only.
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
1. Electric Shock Prevention
WARNING
While power is on or when the inverter is running, do not open the front cover. You may get an electric shock.
!
Do not run the inverter with the front cover removed. Otherwise, you may access the exposed high-voltage termi-
!
nals and charging part and get an electric shock.
If power is off, do not remove the front cover except for wiring or periodic inspection. You may access the
!
charged inverter circuits and get an electric shock.
Before starting wiring or inspection, switch power off, wait for more than 10 minutes, and check for no residual
When parameter clear or all parameter clear is performed, each parameter returns to th e factory setting. Re-set
!
the required parameters before starting operation.
For prevention of damage due to static electricity, touch nearby metal before touching this product to eliminate
!
static electricity from your body.
(4) Maintenance, inspection and parts replacement
AUTION
Do not test the equipment with a megger (measure insulation resistance).
!
(5) Disposal
AUTION
Treat as industrial waste.

(6) General instruction
All illustrations given in this manual may have been drawn with covers o r safety guards removed to provide indepth description. Before starting ope ration o f th e p roduc t, always return the covers and guards into o ri ginal po sitions as specified and operate the equipment in accordance with the manual.
Take the option unit out of the package, check the unit name, and confirm that the product is as you
ordered and intact.
Functions arailable differ between FR-A500(L)/F500(L) series and FR-V500 series, always check before
using.
" SERIAL number check
This product may be used with the FR-A520-0.4K to 22K manufactured in and after July 1997. Any of the
models may be used with this unit if its SERIAL number indicated on the rating plate and package has
"J77
######
SERIAL is made up of 1 version symbol and 8 numeric characters indicating year, month, and control
number as shown below.
Make sure that the input power of the inverter is off.
CAUTION
With input power on, do not install or remove the option unit. Otherwise, the inverter and
option unit may be damaged.
2.2 Installation Procedure
(1) Securely insert the connector of the option unit far into the connector of the inverter. At thi s time, fi t the
option fixing holes snugly. For the position of slot, refer to the next page.
Also be sure to fit the unit into the option fixing hook (For the FR-A500(L)/ FR-F500(L) series, it is available in Aug., 2000).
(2) Securely fix the option unit to the inverter on both sides with the accessory mounting screws. If the
screw holes do not match, the connector may not have been plugged snugly. Check for loose plugging.
The slots 1, 2, and 3 are provided
with an option fixing ho ok.
CAUTION
1. Only one type of option per inverter may be used. When two or more options are mounted, priority is in order of slots 1, 2 and 3, the options having lower priority are inoperative.
2. When the inverter cannot recognize that the option is
mounted, it displays the option error. The errors shown
differ according to the mounting slots 1, 2, 3.
Route the wires so that they do not take up a lot of space in the control circuit terminal block of the option unit.
During wiring, do not leave wire off-cuts in the inverter. They may cause a fault, failure or malfunction.
Use the space on the left side of the control circuit terminal unit to route the wires.
Cable routing
REMARKS
The wires with large gaze may not be connected to the terminal block. When connected in parallel, all wires may not
fit in the wiring space due t o the i ncr eased number of wires. In suc h cases, perform wiring by using a junction terminal block.
CAUTION
Do not use empty terminals as junction terminals because they are used in the option unit. If
they are used as the junction terminals, the option unit may be damaged.
When installing the inverter front cover, the cables to the inverter's control circuit terminals
and option terminals should be routed prop erly in the wiring space to prevent them from
being caught between the inverter and its cover.
You can select any three output signals available with an
FR-A5AR
inverter as standard, and output them as relay contant signals.
Functions arailable differ between FR-A500(L)/F500(L) series
RA1
and FR-V500 series.
The output signals to be selected differ according to the i nverter.
Refer to the instruction manual of the inverter. (output terminal
function selection (Pr. 190 to))

Description
* The operation of each relay depends on the output signal selected.
By installing this option unit, the parameters below are extended.
Set the values according to need.
Parameter NumberNameSetting RangeFactory Setting

321RA2 output selection0 to 99, 99991
322RA3 output selection0 to 99, 99992
The setting value of the parameter differs according to the inverter. Please refer to the inverter instruction
manual (output terminal function selection (Pr. 190 to)). (The setting value of negative logic can not be set.)
REMAKS
For Pr.320 to Pr. 322, write is disabled during operation even when “2” is set in Pr.77. When changing the parameter
setting, stop the oper at ion.
