Receipt

Check that the card catalog number marked on the label is the same as that on the delivery note corresponding to the purchase order.

Remove the option card from its packaging and check that it has not been damaged in transit.

Check that the drive is turned off.

Check that there is no voltage on the DC bus: Red LED (POWER) off, wait for 3 minutes

after turning off the drive.

Installing the communication option card

See Installation Manual pages 16 and 17.

When migrating an Altivar 58(F) installation to Altivar 71, the PowerSuite v2.20 program must be used to configure the ATV71 in 8 serie

mode in order to ensure absolute consistency of the communication, drive and adjustment parameters between the two drive ranges.

However, for some communications options, one or more of the microswitches on the card have to be toggled manually.

The connector for connecting the option card to the communication bus is not the same on the Altivar 71. This is now on the top right-hand

side of the drive.

You should, therefore, make sure that the cable(s) is(are) long enough to make this connection.

If necessary, you should do one of the following:

- Reconnect the wiring up and/or downstream of the drive

- Adjust the drive position

- Use an extension cable
