    AF-600FP BACnet 3 How to Install 3.1 The BACnet Option 3.1.1 Installation of the Option Items required to install a network option in the drive: The network option Network option adaptor frame for the drive. This frame is deeper than the standard frame, to allow space for the network option beneath. Cable holders...
  • Page 11 AF-600FP BACnet Instructions: Remove the Keypad from the drive. Remove the frame located beneath and discard. Push the option into place. Two positions are possible, with cable terminal facing either up or down. The cable up position is often most suitable when several frequency converters are installed side by side in a rack, as this position permits shorter cable lengths.
  • Page 12 T-connection is used instead of permissible cable length and maximum number of nodes/Drivess with 1, 2, 3 and 4 bus segments. Drop cable connection (i.e. T-connection) beyond the cable lengths indicated is not recommended, due to the increased risk of reflection occurring. Instead, GE recommends direct connection of the drive.

Terminal 62 is Marked Red and Terminal 62 is marked Green. These two are the RS485 lines. Terminal 66 the signal Ground for the RS485 Transmitter. Maximum Cable Lengths Maximum total network cable length: 4000Feet ~ 1200Meter...

    AF-600FP BACnet 3.1.4 Cable Routing The BACnet communication cable must be kept away from motor cables to avoid coupling of high frequency noise from one cable to the other. Normally a distance of 200 mm is sufficient, but maintaining the greatest possible distance between cables is generally recommended, especially where cables run in parallel over long distances.
