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 terminals 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 voltage with a tester or the like.
WARNING
Any person who is involved in the wiring or inspection of this equipment
••••
should be fully competent to do the work.
Always install the option unit before wiring. Otherwise, you may get an
••••
electric shock or be injured.
Handle this option unit with dry hands to prevent an electric shock.
••••
Do not subject the cables to scratches, excessive stress, heavy loads or
••••
pinching. Otherwise, you may get an electric shock.
While power is on, do not move the station number and baud rate setting
••••
switches. Doing so can cause an electric shock.

AUTION
•••• Apply only the voltage specified in the instruction manual to each terminal to
prevent burst, damage, etc.
•••• Ensure that the cables are connected to the correct terminals. Otherwise,
burst, damage, etc. may occur.
•••• Always make sure that polarity is correct to prevent burst, damage, etc.
•••• While power is on or for some time after power-off, do not touch the inverter
as it is hot and you may get burnt.
3. Additional instructions
Also note the following points to prevent an accidental failure, injury, electric
shock, etc.:
(1) Transportation and mounting
AUTION
•••• Do not install or operate the option unit if it is dama ge d or ha s part s missing.
•••• Do not stand or rest heavy objects on the product.
•••• Check that the mounti ng orientation is correct .
•••• Prevent screws, metal fragments or other conductive bodies or oil or other
flammable substance from entering the inverter.
(2) Test operation and adjustment
AUTION
•••• Before starting operation, confirm and adjust the parameters. A failure to do
so may cause some machines to make unexpected motions.
(3) Usage
WARNING
•••• Do not modify the equipm en t.
AUTION
•••• When parameter clear or all parameter clear is performed, each parameter
returns to the factory setting. Re-set the required parameters before starting
operation.
•••• For prevention of damage due to stati c 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

1.1Unpacking and Product Confirmation...............................................1
Take the option unit out of the package, check the unit name, and confirm
that the product is as you ordered and intact.
Note that the FR-A500/F500 series inverter and FR-V500 series inverter
have different functions when the option is fitted.
Please check the SERIAL number of the inverter when using the FR-V500
series.
• SERIAL number check
•This product may be used with the FR-V500 series manufactured in and
after May 2002. Any of the models may be used with this unit if its
SERIAL number indicated on the rating plate and package has
"!25!!!!!!" or later version. For details on the SERIAL number,
please contact your sales representative.
SERIAL is made up of 1 version symbol, 1 alphabet letter or numeric
character indicating month, and 7 numeric characters indicating year
and control number as shown below. (Only the first three digits of the
control number are printed on the package.)
Used to set the inverter stat i on number between 0
and
7DH.

2. INSTALLATION
2.1 Pre-Installation Instructions
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 Inverter Node Address Setting
Set the node address of the inverter on the Profibus network.
Set the inverter node address before switching on the inverter and do not
change the setting while power is on.
The node address may be set between 0
CAUTION
1. Do not set the node address to 7E
2. Depending on the master module, 0
be used.
3. The node address changed while powering on the inverter is not
made valid. The node address setting is made valid either after
power is reapplied or when the RES signal turns on.
4. You cannot set the same node address to other devices on the
network. (Such setting disables normal communication.)

INSTALLATION
2.3 Installation and Removal Procedure
Mount the option unit to slot 3.
(1) Remove the front cover from the inverter and remove the DATA PORT
cover by pushing it from the back of the front cover.
(2) Securely insert the connector of the option unit far into the connector
of slot 3 in the inverter. At this time, fit the option fixing holes snugly.
For the position of slot 3, refer to the illustration below.
Also be sure to fit the unit into th e option fixing hook (For the FR-A500/
FR-F500 series, it is available in Aug., 2000).
(3) Securely fix the option unit to the inverter on both sides with the
accessory mounting screws. If the screw holes do not line up, the
connector may not have been plugged snugly. Check for loose
plugging.
(4) Reinstall the front cover of the inverter. (Refer to the inverter manual.)
(5) Connect a Profibus communication cable to the Profibus connector
(Dsub9 pin connector) of the option. (Refer to page 7 for a
communication cable.)

INVERTER SETTING
3.2 Operation Mode
The inverter mounted with the option unit (FR-A5NPA) has the following
operation modes:
(1) PU operation [PU] .................Controls the inverter from the keyboard
)) or
of the operation panel (FR-DU04(
-1
parameter unit (FR-PU04(V)) (referred
to as the "PU") installed to the inverter.
(2) External operation [EXT] .......Controls the inverter by switching on/off
external signals connected to the
control circuit terminals of the inverter.
(3) Network operation [NET].......Controls the inverter with instructions
from the Profibus master module via the
option unit (FR-A5NPA).
(The operation signal and running
frequency can be entered from the
control circuit terminals depending on
the Pr. 338 "operation control command
source" and Pr. 339 "speed command
source" setting.)

INVERTER SETTING
REMARKS
1. T he Pr. 340 value may be changed from the PU in any op er at io n m ode.
2. Computer programm ing, w hi ch has stopped due to an instant aneous power
failure or like during net w or k op eration, remains stoppe d even if power is
recovered.
3. When Pr. 340 = "2 ":
When a start command is given from the network with restart enabled (Pr. 57
≠ 9999), a start command during power off (including in st antaneous power
failure and power failure) is stored. Therefore, the inverter resumes operation
in the state before power i ng off at powering on again (power re st or at i on) .
