< Is an option card installed? >
• Check if any option card is installed.
– If an option card is installed, get the equivalent option card for the G+ Series
4.
– Never attempt to apply G+ Series 3 option cards to the G+ Series 4 unit.
– The option card on the G+ Series 4 may have a different connector on the G+
Series 3. Make sure that the connectors fit into the new option card before
using it.

< Is a braking resistor installed? >
• Check if a braking resistor is installed on the current drive.
– Inspect the braking resistor for physical damage or wear before connecting it
to the new drive.
– Inspect the DB wiring for cracking and possible shorts.
– Connect the braking resistor to the equivalent terminals on the new unit.
– The terminals might have a different location in the new drive; check to ensure
that existing wiring is long enough to reach the new terminal location.
– Verify terminal differences.
< Is a braking unit installed? >
• Check if a braking unit is used in the current installation.
– Inspect the braking unit for physical damage or wear before connecting it to
the new drive.
– Connect the braking unit to the equivalent terminals on the new unit.
– The terminals might have a different location in the new drive; check to ensure
that existing wiring is long enough to reach the new terminal location.
< Is an AC reactor or DC choke installed? >
• Check if an AC reactor or DC choke is used in the current installation.
– Inspect the reactor or choke and wiring for physical damage or wear before
connecting it to the new drive.
– Make sure that the reactor or choke data are appropriate for the replacement
drive.
– The terminals might have a different location in the new drive; check to ensure
that existing wiring is long enough to reach the new terminal location.
• Refer to the instruction manual for questions about installation, parameter settings or detailed parameter/function
descriptions.
