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 the 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
