2 Safety VLT® FC 100 LonWorks 2.1.2 Safety Regulations The frequency converter must be disconnected from mains if repair work is to be carried out. Check that the mains supply has been disconnected and that the necessary time has passed before removing motor and mains plugs.
3.1.3 Assumptions These operating instructions assume, that the Danfoss LonWorks option is used in conjunction with a Danfoss FC 100 frequency converter. It is also assumed that the installed controller supports the interfaces described in this document and that all the requirements stipulated in the controller, as well as the frequency converter, are strictly observed along with all limitations therein.

3.1.5 Background Knowledge The Danfoss LonWorks Option Card is designed to communicate with any system complying with the FTT and 78Kbps LonWorks standard. Familiarity with this technology is assumed. Issues regarding hardware or software produced by other manufacturers, including commissioning tools, are beyond the scope of this manual and are not the responsibility of Danfoss.
