the maximum attention and work on the machine with a qualified and tested safety system:

the emergency stop works before start-up. Don’t operate on the machine if the

equipment. Risk of personal injury. The warranty immediately decay.
•
In case of malfunction consult the alarm list described in the user manual or address
Parker Hannifin. The drives are not field repairable.
1.7 Compatibility with RCD devices
The use of RCD (Residual Current Devices) is strongly not recommended.
If the use of RCD is mandatory, use type B only (for DC and AC prospective earth current).
Set the trip level at 300mA (fire protection level) or more.
Setting the trip level at 30mA (protection level against direct contact) is possible only using
time-delayed RCD and low leakage current EMC filters, but in any case the drives are not
guaranteed to operate with 30mA trip level.
