System Integration Precautions; Personnel Protection - Toshiba Q9 Installation And Operation Manual

System Integration Precautions

The following precautions are provided as general guidelines for the setup of the ASD within the
system.
• The Toshiba ASD is a general-purpose product. It is a system component only and the system
design should take this into consideration. Please contact your Toshiba Sales Representative for
application-specific information or for training support.
• The Toshiba ASD is part of a larger system and the safe operation of the ASD will depend upon
observing certain precautions and performing proper system integration.
• Improperly designed or improperly installed system interlocks may render the motor unable to start
or stop on command.
• The failure of external or ancillary components may cause intermittent system operation (i.e., the
system may start the motor without warning).
• A detailed system analysis and job safety analysis should be performed by the systems designer
and/or systems integrator before the installation of the ASD component. Contact your Toshiba
Sales Representative for options availability and for application-specific system integration
information if required.

personnel. Personnel should be protected from all rotating machinery and electrical hazards at all
times.
• Insulators, machine guards, and electrical safeguards may fail or be defeated by the purposeful or
inadvertent actions of workers. Insulators, machine guards, and electrical safeguards are to be
inspected (and tested where possible) at installation and periodically after installation for potential
hazardous conditions.
• DO NOT allow personnel near rotating machinery. Warning signs to this effect shall be posted at
or near the machinery.
• DO NOT allow personnel near electrical conductors. Contact with electrical conductors can be
fatal. Warning signs to this effect shall be posted at or near the hazard.
