2.2.1 Safety Precautions
WARNING
HIGH VOLTAGE!
Frequency converters contain high voltage when
connected to AC mains input power. Installation, start
up, and maintenance should be performed by qualified
personnel only. Failure to perform installation, start up,
and maintenance by qualified personnel could result in
death or serious injury.
WARNING
UNINTENDED START!
When the frequency converter is connected to AC mains,
the motor may start at any time. The frequency
converter, motor, and any driven equipment must be in
operational readiness. Failure to be in operational
readiness when the frequency converter is connected to
AC mains could result in death, serious injury,
equipment, or property damage.
CAUTION
This option is suitable for performing mechanical work
on the frequency converter system or affected area of a
machine only. It does NOT provide electrical safety. This
