G7 ASD Operation Manual

System Integration Precautions
The following precautions are provided as general guidelines for the setup of the ASD within the
system.
•
The Toshiba ASD is a general-purpose product. It is a system component only and the system
design should take this into consideration. Please contact your Toshiba sales representative for
application-specific information or for training support.
•
The Toshiba ASD is part of a larger system and the safe operation of the ASD will depend on
observing certain precautions and performing proper system integration.
•
A detailed system analysis and job safety analysis should be performed by the systems designer
and/or systems integrator before the installation of the ASD component. Contact your Toshiba sales
representative for options availability and for application-specific system integration information if
required.
Personnel Protection
•
Installation, operation, and maintenance shall be performed by Qualified Personnel Only.
•
A thorough understanding of the ASD will be required before the installation, operation, or
maintenance of the ASD.
•
Rotating machinery and live conductors can be hazardous and shall not come into contact with
humans. Personnel should be protected from all rotating machinery and electrical hazards at all
times.
•
Insulators, machine guards, and electrical safeguards may fail or be defeated by the purposeful or
inadvertent actions of workers. Insulators, machine guards, and electrical safeguards are to be
inspected (and tested where possible) at installation and periodically after installation for potential
hazardous conditions.
•
Do not allow personnel near rotating machinery. Warning signs to this effect shall be posted at or
near the machinery.
•
Do not allow personnel near electrical conductors. Human contact with electrical conductors can be
fatal. Warning signs to this effect shall be posted at or near the hazard.
•
Personal protection equipment shall be provided and used to protect employees from any hazards
inherent to system operation.
•
Follow all warnings and precautions and do not exceed equipment ratings.
System Setup Requirements
•
When using the ASD as an integral part of a larger system, it is the responsibility of the ASD
installer or maintenance personnel to ensure that there is a fail-safe in place, i.e., an arrangement
designed to switch the system to a safe condition if there is a fault or failure.
•
System safety features should be employed and designed into the integrated system in a manner
such that system operation, even in the event of system failure, will not cause harm or result in
personnel injury or system damage (i.e., E-Off, Auto-Restart settings, System Interlocks, etc.).
•
The programming setup and system configuration of the ASD may allow it to start the motor
unexpectedly. A familiarity with the Auto-restart settings are a requirement to use this product.
