Safety Notice
Only qualified personnel should attempt the start-up procedure or troubleshoot 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. Only qualified personnel should attempt to start-up,
program or troubleshoot this equipment.
Precautions
WARNING : Do not touch any circuit board, power device or electrical connection before you first ensure
that no high voltage is present at this equipment or other equipment to which it is connected.
Electrical shock can cause serious or fatal injury. Only qualified personnel should attempt to
start-up, program or troubleshoot this equipment.
WARNING : Be sure the system is properly grounded before applying power. Do not apply AC power
before you ensure that grounds are connected. Electrical shock can cause serious or fatal
injury.
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.
Only qualified personnel should attempt to program, start-up or troubleshoot this equipment.
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 : 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. Only qualified personnel should attempt to program, start-up or
troubleshoot this equipment.
WARNING : Improper operation or programming of the drive may cause violent motion of the motor shaft
and driven equipment. Be certain that unexpected motor shaft 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 : The motor circuit might have high voltages present whenever AC power is applied, even
when the motor is not rotating. Electrical shock can cause serious or fatal injury.
WARNING : If a motor is driven mechanically, it might generate hazardous voltages that are conducted to
its power terminals. The enclosure must be grounded to prevent possible shock hazard.
WARNING : When operating a 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.
