General safety in operation
These instructions are for all personnel that operate the drive.
WARNING!
Obey these instructions. If you ignore them, injury or death, or damage to
the equipment can occur.
• If you have a cardiac pacemaker or other electronic medical device, keep away
from the area near motor, drive, and the drive power cabling when the drive
is in operation. There are electromagnetic fields present which can interfere
with the function of such devices. This can cause a health hazard.
• Give a stop command to the drive before you reset a fault. If you have an
external source for the start command and the start is on, the drive will start
immediately after the fault reset, unless you configure the drive for pulse start.
See the firmware manual.
• Before you activate the automatic fault reset or automatic restart functions
of the drive control program, make sure that no dangerous situations can
occur. These functions reset the drive automatically and continue operation
after a fault or supply break. If these functions are activated, the installation
must be clearly marked as defined in IEC/EN/UL 61800-5-1, subclause 6.5.3,
for example, "THIS MACHINE STARTS AUTOMATICALLY".
Note:
• The maximum number of drive power-ups is five in ten minutes. Too frequent
power-ups can damage the charging circuit of the DC capacitors. If you need
to start or stop the drive, use the control panel keys or commands through
the I/O terminals of the drive.
• If the drive is in remote control mode, you cannot stop or start the drive with
the control panel.
