8 Safety instructions The motor cable terminals of the drive are at a dangerously high voltage when mains power is applied, regardless of motor operation. There can be dangerous voltages inside the drive from external control circuits even when the drive mains power is shut off. Exercise appropriate care when working on the unit.
Intended audience The manual is intended for the people who are responsible for commissioning and using the FEN-11. The reader is expected to have a basic knowledge of electrical fundamentals, electrical wiring practices and how to operate the drive. Before you start It is assumed that the drive is installed and the drive power supply is switched off before starting the installation of the extension module.

Installation 17 Installation Contents of this chapter This chapter contains instructions on installing the Absolute Encoder Interface module. WARNING! Follow the safety instructions given in this guide and in the drive's hardware manual.
18 Installation Setting the supply voltage WARNING! Selecting the wrong supply voltage may damage or break the encoder. A selectable supply voltage is provided for the absolute encoder's and the TTL encoder's input. A +5.5 V or a +24 V voltage for a TTL encoder and a +5.5 V or a +8 V voltage for an absolute encoder can be selected by vertically mounted jumpers as described by the following figure.
Installation 19 Mounting WARNING! Before installation, do the electrical safety precautions given in section Safety instructions. Note: Before mounting the option module, set the supply voltage jumpers as described above. The option module is to be inserted into the option slot of the drive. See the drive hardware manual for more information.

30 Installation WARNING! You can connect a motor temperature sensor to the encoder module only if there is double or reinforced insulation between the live parts of the motor and the sensor. The module does not provide a safe isolation from the drive. Refer to the drive manuals for more information.
