General Information 1-3 MN1919
WARNING : Be sure all wiring complies with the National Electrical Code and all regional and
local codes. Improper wiring may result in unsafe conditions.
WARNING : Be sure that you are completely familiar with the safe operation and programming
of this equipment. This equipment may be connected to other machines that have
rotating parts or parts that are controlled by this equipment. Improper use can
cause serious or fatal injury.
WARNING : MEDICAL DEVICE / PACEMAKER DANGER: Magnetic and electromagnetic
fields in the vicinity of current carrying conductors and industrial motors can result
in a serious health hazard to persons with cardiac pacemakers, internal cardiac
defibrillators, neurostimulators, metal implants, cochlear implants, hearing aids,
and other medical devices. To avoid risk, stay away from the area surrounding a
motor and its current carrying conductors.
WARNING : The stop input to this equipment should not be used as the single means of
achieving a safety critical stop. Drive disable, motor disconnect, motor brake and
other means should be used as appropriate.
WARNING : Improper operation or programming of the drive may cause violent motion of the
motor and driven equipment. Be certain that unexpected motor movement will not
cause injury to personnel or damage to equipment. Peak torque of several times
the rated motor torque can occur during control failure.
WARNING : When operating a rotary motor with no load coupled to its shaft, remove the shaft
key to prevent it flying out when the shaft rotates.
WARNING : A regeneration resistor may generate enough heat to ignite combustible materials.
To avoid fire hazard, keep all combustible materials and flammable vapors away
from the brake resistors. Baldor regeneration resistors are neither internally fused
nor thermally protected and under extreme conditions, can cause a fire hazard if
not suitably protected or rated for the application.
CAUTION : To prevent equipment damage, be certain that the input power has correctly sized
protective devices installed.
CAUTION : To prevent equipment damage, be certain that input and output signals are
powered and referenced correctly.
CAUTION : To ensure reliable performance of this equipment be certain that all signals to/from
the drive are shielded correctly.
CAUTION : Suitable for use on a circuit capable of delivering not more than the RMS
symmetrical short circuit amperes listed here at rated voltage.
