◆Safety Precautions
DANGER Electrical Shock Hazard. Do not examine, connect, or disconnect wiring on an energized
drive. Before servicing, disconnect all power to the equipment and wait for the time specified on the warning label
at a minimum. The internal capacitor stays charged after the drive is de-energized. The charge indicator LED
extinguishes when the DC bus voltage decreases below 50 Vdc. When all indicators are OFF, remove the covers
before measuring for dangerous voltages to make sure that the drive is safe. Failure to obey will cause death or
serious injury.
WARNING Electrical Shock Hazard. Do not operate equipment when covers are missing. Some
figures in this section include drives without covers or safety shields to more clearly show the inside of the drive.
Replace covers and shields before operation. Use drives only as specified by the instructions. Failure to obey can
cause death or serious injury.
WARNING Electrical Shock Hazard. Do not work on the drive or around the drive while wearing loose
clothing or jewelry. Tighten loose clothing and remove all metal objects such as watches or rings. Failure to obey
can cause death or serious injury.

WARNING Electrical Shock Hazard. Do not remove covers or touch circuit boards while the drive is
energized. Failure to obey can cause death or serious injury.
WARNING Electrical Shock Hazard. Only let authorized persons install, wire, maintain, examine,
replace parts, and repair the drive. Failure to obey can cause death or serious injury.
WARNING Electrical Shock Hazard. Do not make changes to the drive body or drive circuitry. Failure
to obey can cause death or serious injury and will void warranty. Yaskawa is not responsible for changes to the
product made by the user.
WARNING Fire Hazard. Tighten all terminal screws to the correct tightening torque. Connections that
are too loose or too tight can cause incorrect operation and damage to the drive. Incorrect connections can also
cause death or serious injury from fire.
CAUTION Crush Hazard. Do not hold the drive by the front cover or terminal cover. Tighten the
screws correctly before moving the drive. Failure to obey can cause minor to moderate injury.
NOTICE Observe correct electrostatic discharge (ESD) procedures when touching the drive.
Failure to obey can cause ESD damage to the drive circuitry.
NOTICE Do not lift the drive with the cover removed. Failure to obey can cause damage to the drive
board and terminal block.
NOTICE Do not use unshielded wire for control wiring. Use shielded, twisted-pair wires and ground
the shield to the ground terminal of the drive. Failure to obey can cause electrical interference and unsatisfactory
system performance.
NOTICE Do not change the drive circuitry. Failure to obey can cause damage to the drive and will
void warranty. Yaskawa is not responsible for modifications of the product made by the user.
NOTICE Make sure that all connections are correct after you install the drive and connecting
peripheral devices. Failure to obey can cause damage to the drive.
◆Preconditions for Installing the Option Card
Prior to installing the Communication Option Card, wire the AC drive or regenerative unit and
connect to the drive terminals. For more information on wiring and connecting the inverter drive
or regenerative unit, refer to the manual packaged with the AC drive or regenerative unit.
Verify that the AC drive or regenerative unit runs normally without the option installed.
■Tools Required
A Phillips screwdriver PH1(#1) or PH2(#2) is required to install the Communication Option
card.
Note:
Tools required to prepare communication network cables for wiring are not listed in this manual.
◆Installing the Option on a A1000, D1000, R1000, or U1000
1. Turn off the power. Wait until the CHARGE LED turns off and then remove the cover.
Refer to the drive manual for direction on removing the front cover.
2. Plug the option card (E) to the CN5-A connector (C).
