1.2.4 Installation of FR Configurator
To use the FR Configurator (FR-SW2-SETUP-WE), the files included in the setup disks must be installed onto the personal
computer.
REMARKS
FR configurator is installed in a different folder from that of the old version inverter setup software. The old version inverter setup software
can be also used continuously.
However, when installing the old version inverter setup software after the installation of FR Configurator, FR Configurator will not operate.
In this case, uninstall FR Configurator (refer to page 10) and then install it again.
If the older version of the FR Configurator is installed (version information can be checked in "About VFD Setup S/W" screen, refer to page
67), uninstall the older version, and then install the new version of the FR Configurator.
To install the old version of the FR configurator, use the setup program (SETUP.EXE) on the Setup Disk . The setup program
creates a directory on the specified hard disk and copies the required files.
CAUTION
Since the files in the Setup Disk are compressed, the FR-Configurator will not operate by merely copying the files. Always use the setup

program to install the software.
• Install the software in accordance with the Windows installation procedure.
• For uninstallation method, refer to page 10.
Installation procedure
The following describes the procedures for installing the FR Configurator to a personal computer.
CAUTION
Close any other applications that have already been started.
•
• When installing to Windows 2000/XP (Professional/Hope Edition) OS, login as a user name with administrator authority (Administrator
authorization) and install it.
• If an inverter is connected by the USB cable, disconnect the USB cable.
• If the following verification screen is displayed during the installation, click [Continue(C
