Figure 1. AO-08 / AO-12 Option Card Installation

Part Numbers: AO-08, AO-12.

Applicability:
F7, G7, GPD515/G5, G5 HHP.
Note: If used in a GPD503/G3, refer to Instruction
Sheet 02Y00025-0297.

Introduction: The AO-08 and AO-12 analog output
option cards are mounted on the drive’s control board
and enables the user to employ precision analog
signals to monitor drive outputs (U1-XX) as indicated in
tables 4 and 5.

Receiving: All equipment is tested against defect at
the factory. Report any damages or shortages evident
when the equipment is received to the commercial
carrier who transported the equipment.

Warning: Hazardous voltage can cause severe injury
or death. Lock all power sources feeding the drive in
the “OFF” position.

Caution: This option card uses CMOS IC chips. Use
proper electrostatic discharge (ESD) protective
procedures when handling the card to prevent I.C.
damage or erratic drive operation.

Important:

a) If this option is being installed in a drive with

an encoder (PG) feedback option card, that
card will need to be temporarily removed to
allow access to connector 3CN on the drive’s
control board and TD1-TD3 on the AO-08 /
AO-12 option card.

b) Before installing this option, a technically

qualified individual, who is familiar with this type of
equipment and the hazards involved, should read this
entire installation guide.


Installation and Wiring:

1. Disconnect all electrical power to

the drive.

2. Remove the drive’s front cover.
3. Check that the “CHARGE”

indicator lamp inside the drive is
off.

4. Use a voltmeter to verify that the voltage at the

incoming power terminals
(L1, L2, L3) has been disconnected.

5. Option Card Installation: See Figure 1.

a) Position the option card above the control board’s 3CN connector and gently press the card into place.
b) Connect the green ground wire to the grounding terminal on the main control board.

6. Wiring: Refer to Figure 2 and Table 2. Make wire connections between the AO-08 / AO-12 card and the drive as

well as all peripheral devices. Observe the following:
a) Keep the option card (i.e. control circuit) wiring separate from main circuit input/output wiring. A separate

metallic grounded conduit with only the option card’s wiring running through it is preferred.

b) To prevent erroneous operation caused by noise interference, use shielded cable for control signal

wires. Limit the distance to 50m (165 feet) or less.

c) Connect the option card ground wire (E) to the drive’s ground terminal TB3 (12 for G5).

7. Adjustment: There are no adjustments to be made on the AO-08 / AO-12 options; however, the drive must be

programmed for the output requirements of the peripheral devices. See Tables 3-5.

8. Reinstall and secure the drive’s front cover.
9. Place this instruction sheet with the drive’s technical manual.
