ATTENTION: This drive contains ESD (Electrostatic
!
Discharge) sensitive parts and assemblies. Static control
precautions are required when installing, testing, servicing or
repairing this assembly. Component damage may result if ESD
control procedures are not followed. If you are not familiar with
static control procedures, reference A-B publication 8000-4.5.2,
"Guarding Against Electrostatic Damage" or any other applicable
ESD protection handbook.
ATTENTION: An incorrectly applied or installed drive can
!
result in component damage or a reduction in product life. Wiring
or application errors, such as, undersizing the motor, incorrect or
inadequate AC supply, or excessive surrounding air temperatures
may result in malfunction of the system.
ATTENTION: Only qualified personnel familiar with DC drives
!
and associated machinery should plan or implement the
installation, start-up and subsequent maintenance of the system.
Failure to comply may result in personal injury and/or equipment
damage.
ATTENTION: An incorrectly applied or installed bypass system
!
can result in component damage or reduction in product life. The
most common causes are:
• Wiring AC line to drive output or control terminals.
• Improper bypass or output circuits not approved by
Allen-Bradley.
• Output circuits which do not connect directly to the motor.
Contact Allen-Bradley for assistance with application or wiring.
