Safety precautions
In addition to the precautions listed throughout this manual, please read and understand the following
statements regarding hazards associated with development systems.
Table 1
Precautions
Attention: The ground potential of the EVAL-M1-183M system is biased to a negative DC
bus voltage potential. When measuring voltage waveform by oscilloscope, the scope’s
ground needs to be isolated. Failure to do so may result in equipment damage or
personal injury or death.
Attention: Only personnel familiar with the drive and associated machinery should plan
or implement the installation, start-up and subsequent maintenance of the system.
Failure to comply may result in personal injury and/or equipment damage.
Attention: The surfaces of the drive may become hot, which may cause injury.
Attention: EVAL-M1-183M system contains parts and assemblies sensitive to Electrostatic
Discharge (ESD). Electrostatic control precautions are required when installing, testing,
servicing or repairing this assembly. Component damage may result if ESD control
procedures are not followed. If you are not familiar with electrostatic control procedures,
refer to applicable ESD protection handbooks and guidelines.
Attention: A control board, incorrectly applied or installed, can result in component
damage or reduction in product lifetime. Wiring or application errors such as under sizing
the motor, supplying an incorrect or inadequate DC supply or excessive ambient
temperatures may result in system malfunction.
Attention: Remove or connect this control board from or to the power drive. Wait three
minutes after removing power from the power drive to discharge the bus capacitors. Do
not attempt to service the drive until the bus capacitors have discharged to zero. Failure
to do so may result in personal injury or death.
Attention: EVAL-M1-183M system is shipped with packing materials that need to be
removed prior to installation. Failure to remove all packing materials which are
unnecessary for system installation may result in overheating or abnormal operating
condition.
