Verifying Installation Area of the Drive
Dimensions and installation holes differ between F7 and L1000A.
Verifying the Installation Location of the Digital Operator
• When replacing the F7 drive, consider whether the new drive will need to have
the digital operator mounted to the same location or if a different location is
required.
• If the same location is important, please consider the mounting position of the
digital operator when installing the new unit.

Verifying Specialized Specifications
Check to see if the F7 drive has a custom nameplate, or any other custom
specifications.
Verifying Main Circuit Lines (including ground)
When replacing the F7 drive, be aware that the position of the main circuit terminal
block wiring and wiring order will differ with the newer model. Consider how to
rewire the terminal block or if different length cables are required.
