3. Installation and Setup
3.1. Installation method
Install the LONWORKS communication option to VF-FS1 as follows.
(1) Turn off the input power of VF-FS1 and wait for at least 10 minutes and then check that the
CHARGE lamp on VF-FS1 is no longer lit.
(2) Open the VF-FS1 front cover, remove the terminal board fixing screw and take off the VF-FS1
standard terminal board.
(Be careful not to lose the terminal board fixing screw when removed since it may be used again.)
(3) Perform wiring an inverter before installing L
(4) Please attach the insulating sheet in VF-FS1.
(Fix to the terminal board fixing screw hole and PWB catch pin.)
(5) Install the L
ONWORKS communication option over the insulating sheet and secure it with the
board fixing screw (tightening torque of M3 tapping screw: 0.7 to 0.8Nm).
(6) Stick the cabling label for L
ONWORKS communication option on the standard cabling label stuck
on the reverse side of the VF-FS1 front cover. And stick the L
nameplate near the standard nameplate. (Be careful not to cover slits on the VF-FS1 enclosure.
N.B.: To install or remove the terminal board, make it slide in or out in parallel with board.
Set up the inverter parameters as follows. To update, reset the power of inverter. If these
parameters are not set to correct value, this unit can not work normally.

Make up the network as follows.
- Transmission/reception signals (NETA, NETB)
Make up the communication path by connecting all transmission/reception data cables (No polarity).
- Grounding the shield of cable (SHLD)
Connect the all shield lines of network cable. Ground through a metal film resistor of 470k ohm,
1/4W, 10% or more accurate so that static electricity does not increase (at the point where it
separated from the power ground of inverters or motors).
- Termination resistor (Please refer to “3.5. Termination resistor”)
Only one terminal resistor is needed for the segment of the free topology. It can also be placed
wherever it is on the free topology segments. (2 termination resistors in case of Bus topology)
Free-Topology: device-to-device distance is 400m or less, total wire length is 500m or less
Bus-Topology: total wire length is 1400m or less, stub length is 3m or less.

- Use 0.3 to 1.5mm
- Remove the sheath of a cable about 7mm (6mm for FLA, FLB, FLC and G/E) from the end of cable.
- Use a flat-headed screwdriver with its blade 0.6mm in thickness and 3.5mm in width.
- Screw tightening torque for the terminal block screws should be 0.5 to 0.6Nm.
N.B.: Keep the control signal cables 20cm or more separate from the power cables to prevent from
malfunctioning due to electromagnetic noise.
N.B.: Provide an inter-lock system stated in below, when using a programmable controller that has
the open collector output.
When the programmable controller is turned off with the inverter is on, the difference
between each control power potential will cause wrong signals to the inverter as shown in
below figure. Provide an inter-lock so that the programmable controller cannot be turned off
when the inverter power is alive.

Problem & Solutions
Check the connection the inverter and the optional unit. If
abnormality is not found after checking, it needs to be repaired.
Internal application program is abnormal.
It needs to be repaired.
A watch dog is suspected. If the same indication appears after
resetting the power, it needs to be repaired.
This is a normal action of the "Unconfigured" device. If the device
is not "Unconfigured", Internal application program is broken. It
needs to be repaired.
When the program is in the condition of "Configured" status, LED
momentarily turns ON when the inverter is turned on. Then the
LED continues to be OFF for some seconds. The node indicates
"Configured" status that means the normal condition.
