Wiring
Caution
Mandatory
Electrical construction work must be done by a qualified expert.
Connection of input power by someone who does not have expert knowledge may
result in electric shocks or fire.
Turn off input power before wiring.
Wait at least 15 minutes and make sure that the charge lamp (on the inverter unit) is no
longer lit. Otherwise, it may lead to electric shocks.
Tighten the screws on the terminal blocks to the specified torque when connecting
cables to terminal blocks.
Otherwise, it may lead to fire.

Warning
Prohibited
Do not pull on the cable and connector.
It may cause damage or malfunctions.
Mandatory
Use this option under the environment specified in the instruction manual.
Usage under the environment other than them may cause damages or malfunctions or
an accident.
Use an additional safety device with your inverter or system to prevent a serious
accident due to the unit malfunctions.
Usage without an additional safety device may cause an accident.
Caution
Mandatory
Set up “Communication error trip function (see below)” to stop the inverter when the
option unit is deactivated by an unusual event such as an operating error, power
outage, failure, etc.
- Network time-out (f832)
(See the VF-PS1 APOGEE®FLN Communication Function Manual for details.)
Deactivated option unit may cause an accident, if the “Communication error trip
function” is not properly set up.
Make sure that the operation signals are STOP before resetting inverter’s fault. The
motor may suddenly start and that may result in injuries.
Disposal
Caution
Mandatory
If you dispose off this unit, have it done by a specialist in industrial waste disposal*.
Improper disposal may result in explosion of capacitors or produce noxious gases,
resulting in injuries.
(*) Persons who specialize in the processing of waste and known as “Industrial Waste
Product Collectors and Transporters” or “Industrial Waste Disposal Persons.” If the
collection, transport and disposal of industrial waste is done by someone who is not
licensed for that job, it is a punishable violation of the law (Laws in regard to cleaning
and processing of waste materials).
Notes on operation
Notes
Avoid installing in a place where ambient temperature or/and humidity change sharply.
Keep the transmission cable separate from the power cable of the inverter to prevent the
inverter from malfunctioning due to electromagnetic noise.
Ground of SCR terminal on this option at the grounding terminal separated from those of
inverters and motors. It may cause malfunction due to noise.

3.1. Case of installing two options
Please install this option (APG001Z) on the top of options when you install two options.
Do not install under the another option.
3.2. Network cable connection
Connect the APOGEE®FLN network cable to communication option as follows.
Title Description
Wire type Shielded twisted cable
Characteristic impedance Between 100 and 130 ohm
Distributed impedance between
conductors Less than 100pF per meter
Distributed impedance between
conductors and shield
Less than 200pF per meter
Foil or braided shield are acceptable.
Length of a segment 1200 meters with AWG18 (0.8mm2)
Cable sheath should be peeled off by about 7mm.
For wiring work, use a flat blade screwdriver with a 0.6mm thick and
3.5mm width blade.
Tightening torque for the terminal block is 0.5Nm.
* Fix a cable so that a communication connector may be not taken the weight of wire.

3.3. Network configuration
Make up the network as follows.
- Transmission/reception signals (A, B)
Make up the communication path by connecting all transmission/reception data cables.
- Signal common (GND)
GND is the signal common.
- Grounding the shield of cable (SCR)
Connect the all shield lines of network cable. The shield shall be grounded at one end only
prevent currents from being created.
- Termination resistor
A termination resistance of 120 ohms plus or minus 5% shall be connected at each of the two
ends of the segment medium. This option has a termination resistor, so if use, set up the
termination resistor SW. (Refer to 2.1 Outline)
* It is recommended that the Siemens Building Automation FLN Trunk Terminator (PN: 538-664)
be used and that the network termination switch on the APG001Z, SW102, be set to OFF.
At least one set, and no more than two sets, of network bias resistors shall exist for each segment.
This option has local bias resistors.
