Safety Information
• NOTE:
This Quick Start Guide is intended for users with basic knowledge of electricity and electric devices. If
you are unfamiliar with the installation and operation of Variable Frequency Drives or are unsure about any
procedure, please contact qualified personnel for installation assistance.
• Do not open the cover of the Variable Frequency Drive (VFD) while it is on or energized. Do not operate the
VFD while the cover is open. Exposure of high voltage terminals or charging area to the external environment
may result in an electric shock. Do not remove any covers or touch the internal circuit boards (PCBs) or
electrical contacts on the product when the power is on or during operation. Doing so may result in serious
injury, death, or serious property damage.
• Do not open the cover of the VFD even when the power supply to the VFD has been turned off unless it is
necessary for maintenance or regular inspection. Opening the cover may result in an electric shock even
when the power supply is off.
• The equipment may hold charge long after the power supply has been turned off. Use a multimeter to make
sure that there is no voltage before working on the VFD, motor or motor cable.
• This equipment must be grounded for safe and proper operation.
•
Do not supply power to a faulty VFD. If you find that the VFD is faulty, disconnect the power supply and have
the VFD repaired or replaced.
• The VFD becomes hot during operation. Avoid touching the VFD until it has cooled to avoid burns.
• Do not allow foreign objects, such as screws, metal chips, debris, water, or oil to get inside the VFD. Allowing
foreign objects inside the VFD may cause the VFD to malfunction or result in a fire.
• Do not operate the VFD with wet hands. Doing so may result in electric shock.
