Safety Information
Persons supervising and performing the electrical installation or maintenance of a
Drive and/or its external Option Unit must be suitably qualified and competent in
these duties. They should be given the opportunity to study and if necessary to dis-
cuss this User Guide before work is started.
The voltages present in the Drive and external Option Units are capable of inflicting
a severe electric shock and may be lethal.
The Stop function of the Drive does not remove dangerous voltages from the termi-
nals of the Drive and external Option Unit. Mains supplies should be removed before
any servicing work is performed.
The installation instructions should be adhered to. Any questions or doubt should be
referred to the supplier of the equipment. It is the responsibility of the owner or user
to ensure that the installation of the Drive and external Option Unit, and the way in
which they are operated and maintained complies with the requirements of the
Health and Safety at Work Act in the United Kingdom and applicable legislation and
regulations and codes of practice in the UK or elsewhere.
The Drive software may incorporate an optional Auto-start facility. In order to pre-
vent the risk of injury to personnel working on or near the motor or its driven equip-
ment and to prevent potential damage to equipment, users and operators, all
necessary precautions must be taken if operating the Drive in this mode.
The Stop and Start inputs of the Drive should not be relied upon to ensure safety of
personnel. If a safety hazard could exist from unexpected starting of the Drive, an
interlock should be installed to prevent the motor being inadvertently started.
General Information
The manufacturer accepts no liability for any consequences resulting from inappro-
priate, negligent or incorrect installation or adjustment of the optional operating pa-
rameters of the equipment or from mismatching the Drive with the motor.
