Hardware
Basic
• Can the existing mounting holes be used? Check if the new drive dimensions
are different than the current drive.
– Verify that the existing dimensions reference in Section 1.7, “Dimensions,
installation space and substitution material” of this manual compares the
sizes of the current and new unit. If a mechanical substitution kit is necessary,
it is referenced in Section 1.7.
< Digital operator >
• Was a remote operator connected to the current unit?
– If so, do not attempt to connect the G+ Series 3 remote operator to the G+
Series 4, as they are incompatible.

Control
Terminals
< Wire Length >
• In the replacement drive, the main and control circuit terminals may be mounted
in different positions. Check to ensure all cables are long enough to be
connected to the new unit.
< Main circuit wires and terminal specifications >
• Compare the occupied terminals of the current unit with the new drive’s
terminals (shape, size, etc.), and verify that the wires fit in the new unit’s
terminals, using Section 1.5 “Terminals”, specifically “Control Terminal Sizes
and Wire Sizes” of this document.
