2. Product Overview About This Product Installation of the Analog Input Option AI-A3 allows the user to input a high precision, high resolution analog signal reference to the drive. The option terminals can be set either as separate functions for each terminal to use the multi-function analog input terminals on the option for a higher resolution signal, or as a combined input where the drive adds the input of all signals to the option to build the frequency reference.
3. Receiving Please perform the following tasks upon receiving the option: • Inspect the option for damage. Contact the shipper immediately if the option appears damaged upon receipt. • Verify receipt of the correct model by checking the model number printed on the option nameplate (refer to Figure 1 on page 7 for more information).
4. Option Components Analog Input AI-A3 Option <1> The ground wires provided in the option shipping package must be connected during installation. Figure 1: Analog Input AI-A3 Option Components Terminal Block TB1 Figure 2: Terminal Block TB1 Refer to Table 3 on page 19 for details on TB1 terminal functions and signal levels.

Prior to Installing the Option Prior to installing the option, wire the drive, make the necessary connections to the drive terminals, and verify that the drive functions normally. Refer to the Quick Start Guide packaged with the drive for information on wiring and connecting the drive. Figure 3 shows an exploded view of the drive with the option and related components for reference.
Installing the Option Refer to the instructions below to install the option. 1. Shut off power to the drive, wait the appropriate amount of time for voltage to dissipate, then remove the digital operator (D) and front covers (C, E). Refer to the Quick Start Guide packaged with the drive for directions on removing the front covers.

2. Insert the option card (B) into the CN5-A (K), CN5-B (L), or CN5-C (M) connector located on the drive and fasten it into place using one of the included screws (G). NOTE: Install the option to ports CN5-B and CN5-C on the drive for monitoring purposes only and input levels will be displayed in monitors U1-21 to U1-23.

3. Connect one end of the ground wire (H) to the ground terminal (J) using one of the remaining screws (G). Connect the other end of the ground wire (H) to the remaining ground terminal and installation hole on the option (B) using the last remaining provided screw (G). Figure 6: Connect the Ground Wire NOTE: 1.

5. Prepare and connect the wire ends as shown in Figure 8 and Figure 9. Refer to Wire Gauges, Tightening Torques, and Crimp Terminals on page 18 to confirm that the proper tightening torque is applied to each terminal. Take particular precaution to ensure that each wire is properly connected and wire insulation is not accidentally pinched into electrical terminals.

6. Wire the customer-supplied analog input signal to terminal block TB1 on the option. Refer to Figure 10 for wiring instructions. Connection Diagram Refer to Table 3 on page 19 for a detailed description of the option board terminal functions. To ensure accurate control, use a stable power supply for the voltage reference source.

7. Route the option wiring. Depending on the drive model, some drives may require routing the wiring through the side of the front cover to the outside. In these cases, cut out the perforated openings on the left side of the drive front cover as shown in Figure 11-A and leave no sharp edges to damage wiring.
