General Safety In Installation, Start-Up And Maintenance - ABB ACS560 Hardware Manual

12 Safety instructions

General safety in installation, start-up and maintenance

These instructions are for all personnel that install the drive and do maintenance work on
it.
WARNING!
Obey these instructions. If you ignore them, injury or death, or damage to the
equipment can occur.
• Use safety shoes with a metal toe cap to avoid foot injury. Wear protective gloves and
long sleeves. Some parts have sharp edges.
• Handle the drive carefully.
• Frames R5...R8:
• Lift the drive with a lifting device. Use the lifting eyes of the drive.
• Do not tilt the drive. The drive is heavy and its center of gravity is high. An overturning
drive can cause physical injury.
• Do not install the drive upside down. This can cause damage to the equipment.
• Beware of hot surfaces. Some parts, such as heat sinks of power semiconductors,
remain hot for a while after disconnection of the electrical supply.
• Keep the drive in its package or protect it otherwise from dust and burr from drilling and
grinding until you install it.
• Protect the installed drive against dust and burr. Electrically conductive debris inside
the drive may cause damage or malfunction.
• Vacuum clean the area below the drive before the start-up to prevent the drive cooling
fan from drawing the dust inside the drive.
• Do not cover the air inlet and outlet when the drive runs.
•
Make sure that there is sufficient cooling. See sections
site (page 38) and Thermal losses, cooling data and noise (page 116)
information.
• Before you connect voltage to the drive, make sure that the drive covers are on. Keep
the covers on during the operation.
