Explanation of symbols
General
The information and warnings provided consider normal operation and fault situations in an installation where any fault
is promptly repaired (or the equipment isolated from all power sources) so as to avoid the possibility of a second fault
occurring that may result in a hazardous situation.
Read all operating & installation instructions before installing, operating or servicing the equipment. This equipment
must be applied and installed by a suitably qualified and experienced tradesperson in accordance with its manual, good
engineering practice and all local rules and regulations.
There are hazardous voltages inside the ECODRIVE whenever it is connected to an electrical supply and for some time
afterwards. Before touching anything inside the ECODRIVE enclosure or other equipment connected to the ECODRIVE
terminals, disconnect all sources of electrical power, wait at least 11 minutes for capacitors within the ECODRIVE to
discharge to less than 50VDC and then ensure, by measurement, that there is no hazardous AC or DC voltage present at
any terminal.
Note: Auxiliary circuits that are wired into the
ECODRIVE enclosure may be powered from other external sources. Use a
Multimeter which is rated to measure 1000Vdc and 600Vac.
Do not work on the ECODRIVE, Photovoltaic Cells, Aux Power sources or motor or associated cables whenever the
ECODRIVE is connected to any power source or Photovoltaic generator, even during times of low intensity or no sunlight.
Always switch off or isolate all power sources and never touch the input side of the isolation switch that has high DC
voltage.
The ECODRIVE contains high energy circuits that may be hazardous. Do not operate the ECODRIVE with the door open or
any part of the enclosure removed.
