SAFETY NOTICE

 

Continued

WARNING:  If possible, do not adjust trim pots with the main power applied. Electrical shock can cause serious or 

fatal injury. If adjustments are made with the main power applied, an insulated adjustment tool must 

be used to prevent shock hazard and safety glasses must be worn. 

WARNING:  Do not use this drive in an explosive environment. An explosion can cause serious or fatal injury.  

This drive is not explosion proof.

WARNING:  When the Enable jumper is installed, the drive and motor will start and run when AC power is applied, 

when power is restored after a momentary power loss, or after an overload or TCL fault is reset. The 

user must ensure that automatic start up of the driven equipment will not cause injury to operating 

personnel or damage to the driven equipment. The user is responsible for providing suitable audible or 

visual alarms or other devices to indicate that the drive may start at any moment. Failure to observe 

this warning could result in severe bodily injury or loss of life.

WARNING:  Do not use start/stop, inhibit or enable functions as a safety disconnect. Use only an AC line 

disconnect for that purpose. Failure to observe this warning could result in severe bodily injury or loss 

of life.

Caution:   Disconnect motor leads (A1 and A2) from control before you perform a Dielectric Withstand test on the 

motor. Failure to disconnect motor from the control will result in extensive damage to the control. The 

control is tested at the factory for high voltage / leakage resistance as part of Underwriter Laboratory 

requirements.

Caution:   Do not connect AC power to the Motor terminals A1 and A2. Connecting AC power to these terminals 

may damage the control.

Caution:   Baldor recommends not to use Grounded Leg Delta transformer power leads that may create ground 

loops. Instead, we recommend using a four wire Wye.

Caution:   Suitable for use on a circuit capable of delivering not more than 5,000 RMS symmetrical short circuit 

amperes listed here at rated voltage.

Caution:   Adjusting the current limit above 150% of the motor nameplate rating can cause overheating and 

demagnetization of the PM motor. 

Caution:   Do not leave the motor in a locked rotor condition for more than a few seconds since motor damage 

may occur.

Caution:   Shunt wound motors may be damaged if field windings remain energized for an extended period of 

time without armature rotation. 

Receiving 

Each control is thoroughly tested at the factory and carefully packaged for shipment.  

When you receive your control, there are several things you should do immediately. 
1.  Observe the condition of the shipping container and report any damage immediately to the 

commercial carrier that delivered your control.

2.  Verify that the part number you received is the same as the part number listed on your purchase 

order.

3.  Do not unpack until ready for use.
