Warnings
This manual should be read in conjunction with the ZENER 8000 Installation Manual (IM00124).
Read all operating instructions before installing, wiring, operating, servicing or inspecting the
High Performance Output Filter. Ensure that the instruction manual is made available to the final
user of the product as well as all personnel involved in any aspect of installation, adjustment or
maintenance. Your High Performance Output Filter must be applied and installed by a suitably
qualified and experienced electrical tradesperson in accordance with this manual, good
engineering practice and all local rules and regulations
There are hazardous voltages inside the High Performance Output Filter whenever it is connected
to an electrical supply and for some time after it is disconnected. Before touching anything inside
the High Performance Output Filter enclosure or other equipment connected to the High
Performance Output Filter terminals, disconnect all sources of electrical power, wait at least 11
minutes for capacitors within the High Performance Output Filter to discharge to less than 50VDC
and then ensure, by measurement, that there is no hazardous AC or DC voltage present at any
terminal.
The High Performance Output Filter contains high energy circuits that may be hazardous. Do not operate the High
Performance Output Filter with the door open or any part of the enclosure removed.
Do not touch the terminals of the High Performance Output Filter or any associated motor and wiring when it is
energised, even if the High Performance Output Filter and motor are stopped. Electric shock may result.
Do not modify this equipment electrically, mechanically or otherwise. Modification may create safety hazards.
The High Performance Output Filter is designed to operate in series with an appropriately rated and otherwise
suitable 3 phase induction motor. It is not suitable for single phase motors or other types of motor or non-motor
load. Use with inappropriate load types may create a safety hazard.
Where the High Performance Output Filter is used as a component part of another product, it is the purchaser’s
responsibility to ensure that the final product meets all of the necessary safety, EMC, regulatory, operational and
other requirements for that product. Requirements for the purchaser’s final product may be substantially different to
the requirements for stand-alone filters.
The High Performance Output Filter is intended for use only in fixed wiring applications. It is not intended for use on a
flexible supply cable.
Mount the High Performance Output Filter on a vertical, incombustible surface such as metal or masonry.
Do not place combustible or flammable material near the High Performance Output Filter. Failure to observe these
precautions may create a fire hazard.
The High Performance Output Filter is manufactured under strict quality control arrangements, however additional
and independent safety equipment must be installed if the application is such that failure of the product may result in
personal injury or property damage.
Ensure that electrical noise generated by the product and any associated equipment does not adversely affect the
proper operation of other equipment or systems, particularly those that have a safety function.
Do not install this equipment in locations where mechanical damage to the enclosure is possible. In particular,
consider vehicles, vandalism and attack by insects or animals. Severe equipment damage and safety hazards may
result.
