described in these operating instructions.
2.3 Safety Precautions
WARNING
HIGH VOLTAGE
Frequency converters contain high voltage when
connected to AC mains input, DC supply, or load sharing.
Failure to perform installation, start-up, and maintenance
by qualified personnel can result in death or serious
injury.
•
Only qualified personnel must perform instal-
lation, start-up, and maintenance.
WARNING
UNINTENDED START
When the frequency converter is connected to AC mains,
DC supply, or load sharing, the motor may start at any
time. Unintended start during programming, service, or
repair work can result in death, serious injury, or
property damage. The motor can start via an external
switch, a serial bus command, an input reference signal
from the LCP, or after a cleared fault condition.
To prevent unintended motor start:
•
Disconnect the frequency converter from the
mains.
•
Press [Off/Reset] on the LCP before
programming parameters.
•
Completely wire and assemble the frequency
converter, motor, and any driven equipment
before connecting the frequency converter to
AC mains, DC supply, or load sharing.
WARNING
DISCHARGE TIME
The frequency converter contains DC-link capacitors,
which can remain charged even when the frequency
converter is not powered. Failure to wait the specified
time after power is removed, before performing service
or repair work, could result in death or serious injury.
1.
Stop the motor.
2.
Disconnect AC mains, permanent magnet type
motors, and remote DC-link supplies, including
battery back-ups, UPS, and DC-link connections
to other frequency converters.
3.
Wait for the capacitors to discharge fully, before
performing any service or repair work. The
waiting time is specified in
