Section Safety

Only let approved personnel install, wire, maintain, examine, replace parts, and repair the drive.
If personnel are not approved, it can cause serious injury or death.
Do not modify the drive body or drive circuitry.
Modifications to drive body and circuitry can cause serious injury or death, will cause damage to the drive, and will
void the warranty. Yaskawa is not responsible for modifications of the product made by the user.
Do not put flammable or combustible materials on top of the drive and do not install the drive near
flammable or combustible materials. Attach the drive to metal or other noncombustible material.
Flammable and combustible materials can start a fire and cause serious injury or death.
When you install the drive in an enclosure, use a cooling fan or cooler to decrease the temperature
around the drive. Make sure that the intake air temperature to the drive is 50 °C (122 °F) or less for
IP20/UL Open Type drives, and 40 °C (104 °F) or less for IP20/UL Type 1 drives.
If the air temperature is too hot, the drive can become too hot and cause a fire and serious injury or death.
Only approved personnel can operate a crane or hoist to move the drive.
If unapproved personnel operate a crane or hoist, it can cause serious injury or death from falling equipment.
Before you hang the drive vertically, use screws to correctly attach the drive front cover and other
drive components.
If you do not secure the front cover, it can fall and cause minor injury.
When you use a crane or hoist to lift the drive during installation or removal, prevent more than
1.96 m/s 2 (0.2 G) vibration or impact.
Too much vibration or impact can cause serious injury or death from falling equipment.
When you lift the drive during installation or removal, do not try to turn the drive over and do not
ignore the hanging drive.
If you move a hanging drive too much or if you ignore it, the drive can fall and cause serious injury or death.
Use a crane or hoist to move large drives when necessary.
If you try to move a large drive without a crane or hoist, it can cause serious injury or death.
Tighten terminal cover screws and hold the case safely when you move the drive.
If the drive or covers fall, it can cause moderate injury.
Do not let unwanted objects, for example metal shavings or wire clippings, fall into the drive during
drive installation. Put a temporary cover over the drive during installation. Remove the temporary
cover before start-up.
Unwanted objects inside of the drive can cause damage to the drive.
When you touch the drive and circuit boards, make sure that you observe correct electrostatic
discharge (ESD) procedures.
If you do not follow procedures, it can cause ESD damage to the drive circuitry.
