IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
WARNING
ONLY A QUALIFIED ELECTRICIAN CAN CARRY OUT THE ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION OF
THIS FILTER
WARNING
High voltage is used in the operation of this filter. Use Extreme caution to avoid contact with high
voltage when operating, installing or repairing this filter.
INJURY OR DEATH MAY RESULT IF SAFETY PRECAUTIONS ARE NOT OBSERVED.
After removing power, allow at least five minutes to elapse and verify that the capacitors have
discharged to a safe level before contacting internal components. Connect a DC voltmeter across
the capacitor terminals. Start with the meter on the highest scale and progressively switch to a
lower scale as the indicated voltage falls below the maximum value of the scale used.
WARNING
The opening of the branch circuit protective device may be an indication that a fault current has
been interrupted. To reduce the risk of fire or electrical shock, current-carrying parts and other
components of the filter should be examined and replaced if damaged.
WARNING
An upstream disconnect/protection device must be used as required by the National Electrical Code
(NEC) or governing authority.
WARNING
Even if the upstream disconnect/protection device is open, the drive down stream of the filter may
feed back high voltage to the filter. The drive safety instructions must be followed.
INJURY OR DEATH MAY RESULT IF SAFETY PRECAUTIONS ARE NOT OBSERVED
WARNING
The filter must be grounded with a grounding conductor connected to all grounding terminals.
WARNING
Only spare parts obtained from MTE Corporation or an authorized MTE distributor can be used.
