Wire the drive, then reattach the covers before operating the drive.
■ Reattach the Front Cover
1. Reattach the wiring cover.
2. Reattach the front cover to the drive with the supplied screws.
3. Remove the keypad connector from the connector holder on the front cover.
4. Put the keypad connector into the connector on the drive in the direction of the hook.

■ Reattach the Terminal Cover
1. Reattach the wiring cover.
Note:
• The shape of the wiring cover differs depending on the drive model.
• Detach the cutaway section of the wiring cover by clipping only the areas that apply to the wired terminal. If areas that do
not apply to the wired terminal are clipped, the protective enclosure will not maintain the IP20 protective level.
• Hold the cutaway section of the wiring cover firmly to prevent scattering when clipping this section. There is a risk of injury
from scattering of the cutaway section.
• Process the cross section to prevent the cutaway section of the wiring cover from damaging the electric wires.
• If electrical wires other than those specified by Yaskawa are used, the protective enclosure may not maintain the IP20
protective level, even if the wiring cover is used correctly. Contact Yaskawa or your nearest sales representative for details.
2. Reattach the terminal cover to the drive using the supplied screws.
