• Beware of hot surfaces. Some parts, such as heatsinks of power semiconductors, and
brake resistors, remain hot for a while after disconnection of the electrical supply.
• Vacuum clean the area around the drive before the start-up to prevent the drive cooling
fan from drawing the dust inside the drive.
• Make sure that debris from drilling, cutting and grinding does not enter the drive during
the installation. Electrically conductive debris inside the drive may cause damage or
malfunction.
• Make sure that there is sufficient cooling. See the technical data.
• Keep the cabinet doors closed when the drive is powered. With the doors open, a risk
of a potentially fatal electric shock, arc flash or high-energy arc blast exists. If you cannot
avoid working on a powered drive, obey the local laws and regulations on live working
(including – but not limited to – electric shock and arc protection).
• Before you adjust the drive operation limits, make sure that the motor and all driven
equipment can operate throughout the set operation limits.
• 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 61800-5-1, subclause 6.5.3, for example, "THIS MACHINE STARTS
AUTOMATICALLY".
• The maximum drive power cycles is five times in ten minutes. Power cycling the drive
too often can damage the charging circuit of the DC capacitors.
• If you have connected safety circuits to the drive (for example, Safe torque off or
emergency stop), validate them at start-up. See separate instructions for the safety
circuits.
• Beware of hot air exiting from the air outlets.
• Do not cover the air inlet or outlet when the drive is running.
Note:
• If you select an external source for the start command and it is on, the drive will start
immediately after fault reset unless you configure the drive for pulse start. See the firmware
manual.
• If the drive is in remote control mode, you cannot stop or start the drive with the control
panel.
• Only authorized persons are allowed to repair a malfunctioning drive.
