Safety precautions
In addition to the precautions listed throughout this manual, please read and understand the following
statements regarding hazards associated with development systems.
Table 2
Precautions
Attention: The ground potential of the EVAL-IMM101T system is biased to a negative DC
bus voltage potential. When measuring voltage waveform by oscilloscope, the scope’s
ground needs to be isolated. Failure to do so may result in personal injury or death and
equipment damage
Attention: Only personnel familiar with the drive and associated machinery should plan
or implement the installation, start-up and subsequent maintenance of the system.
Failure to comply may result in personal injury and/or equipment damage.
Attention: The surfaces of the drive may become hot, which may cause injury.
Attention: EVAL-IMM101T system contains parts and assemblies sensitive to Electrostatic
Discharge (ESD). Electrostatic control precautions are required when installing, testing,
servicing or repairing this assembly. Component damage may result if ESD control
procedures are not followed. If you are not familiar with electrostatic control procedures,
refer to applicable ESD protection handbooks and guidelines.
Attention: Wiring or application errors such as under sizing the motor, supplying an
incorrect or inadequate DC supply or excessive ambient temperatures may result in
system malfunction.
Attention: Wait three minutes after removing power from the power drive to discharge
the bus capacitors. Do not attempt to service the drive until the bus capacitors have
discharged to zero. Failure to do so may result in personal injury or death.
Attention: EVAL-IMM101T system is shipped with packing materials that need to be
removed prior to installation. Failure to remove all packing materials which are
unnecessary for system installation may result in overheating or abnormal operating
condition.
