Table 1. Warning signs Danger The components of the power unit of Vacon 100 are live when the AC drive is connected to mains potential. Coming into contact with this voltage is extremely dangerous and may cause death or severe injury.
Vacon 100 AC drive is meant for fixed installations only. Do not perform any measurements when the AC drive is connected to the mains. The earth leakage current of Vacon 100 AC drives exceeds 3.5mA AC. According to standard EN61800-5-1, a reinforced protective ground connection must be ensured.
Earthing and earth fault protection CAUTION! The Vacon 100 AC drive must always be earthed with an earthing conductor connected to the earthing terminal marked with The earth leakage current of Vacon 100 exceeds 3.5mA AC. According to EN61800-5-1, one or...

ODBUS INSTALLATION Open the cover of the AC drive. The relay outputs and other I/O-terminals may have a dangerous control voltage present even when Vacon 100 is disconnected from mains. DANGER Figure 3. Locate the components that you will need on the AC drive to connect and run the Modbus cables.

Remount the AC drive cover. NOTE: When planning the cable runs, remember to keep the distance between the Ethernet cable and the motor cable at a minimum of 30 cm. Ethernet cable Figure 7. 24-hour support +358 (0)40 837 1150 • Email: vacon@vacon.com...
Strip the cable at a maximum length of 15 mm. Do not strip the aluminum cable shield! Then connect the cable to its appropriate terminals on Vacon 100 AC drive stan- dard terminal block, terminals A and B (A = negative, B = positive). See Figure 8.

The bus termination must be set for the first and the last device of the fieldbus line. See picture below. See also step 6 on page 14. We recommend that the first device on the bus and, thus, terminated was the Master device. Vacon 100 Vacon 100 Vacon 100 Vacon 100 Vacon 100 Termination...
