WARNING:
DISCHARGE TIME. Disconnect and lock
out electrical power and wait for the
minimum
waiting time specified below. Failure
to wait the specified time after power
has been removed before performing
service or repair could result in death or
serious injury.
Frequency converters contain DC-link capacitors
that can remain charged even when the frequency
converter is not powered. To avoid electrical hazards,
stop motor and disconnect:
• AC mains
• Any permanent magnet type motors
• Any remote DC-link power supplies, including
battery backups, ups and DC-link connections to
other frequency converters.
Wait for the capacitors to discharge completely before
performing any service or repair work. Refer to the
following table for wait times:

High voltage may be present even when the warning
LED indicator lights are off.
WARNING:
LEAKAGE CURRENT HAZARD. Follow
national and local codes regarding
protective earthing of equipment with
a leakage current > 3.5 mA. Frequency
converter technology implies high frequency
switching at high power. This will generate
a leakage current in the earth connection.
A fault current in the frequency converter at
the output power terminals might contain
a DC component which can charge the
filter capacitors and cause a transient earth
current. The earth leakage current depends
on various system configurations including
RFI filtering, screened motor cables, and
frequency converter power. Failure to
ground the drive properly could result in
death or serious injury.
EN/EC61800–5–1 (Power Drive System Product
standard) requires special care if the leakage current
exceeds 3.5 mA. Earth grounding must be reinforced
in one of the following ways:
• Earth ground wire of at least 8 AWG or 10 mm2.
• Two separate earth ground wires both complying
with the dimensioning rules.
WARNING:
UNINTENDED START. Before using the
Genie, set DI18 to Stop (terminal 18
open) to prevent the unit from starting
the motor. Keep terminal 18 open to
avoid an unintended motor rotation. Apply
the Start signal to the controller only
when pump operation is desired.
WARNING:
UNINTENDED START. WINDMILLING!
Unintended rotation of permanent magnet
motors causes a risk of personal injury
and equipment damage. Ensure permanent
magnet motors are blocked to prevent
unintended rotation.
WARNING:
EQUIPMENT HAZARD. Rotating shafts
and electrical equipment can be hazardous.
All electrical work must conform to
national and local electrical codes.
Installation, start-up, and maintenance must
be performed by trained and qualified
personnel. Wear safety glasses whenever
working on electric control or rotating
equipment. Failure to follow these guidelines
could result in death or serious injury.
WARNING:
Only use original spare parts to replace
any worn or faulty components. The use
of unsuitable spare parts may cause
malfunctions, damage, and injuries as
well as void the guarantee.
WARNING:
INTERNAL FAILURE HAZARD. Risk of
personal injury when the frequency
converter
is not properly closed. Before applying
power, ensure all safety covers
are in place and securely fastened.
1.3 User safety
General safety rules
These safety rules apply:
• Always keep the work area clean.
• Pay attention to the risks presented by gas and
vapors in the work area.
• Avoid all electrical dangers. Pay attention to the
risks of electric shock or arc flash hazards.
• Always bear in mind the risk of drowning, electrical
accidents, and burn injuries.
