1. Do not remove the front cover when input power is connected. Doing so can result in electric
shock.
2. Do not operate the drive with the front cover removed. Electric shock can occur due to the
exposed high voltage terminals and capacitor.
3. Do not remove the cover except for routine inspections or wiring, even if the input power is
not applied. The capacitor will remain charged for a long time even when the power is not
applied.
4. This drive contains high voltage which can cause electric shock resulting in personal injury or
loss of life.
5. Be sure all AC power is removed from the drive before servicing.
6. Wait at least 10 minutes after turning off the AC power for the bus capacitor to discharge.
Measure the DC Bus charge between B+ and B- terminals, ensure DC voltage is below 45V
before proceeding.
7. Do not connect or disconnect the wires to or from drive when power is applied.
8. Do not operate the switches with wet hands. Doing so can result in electric shock.
9. Electric shock can occur if the cable coating is damaged or if heavy objects than can
cause excess stressare put on the cable.
1. Service only by qualified personnel.
2. Install the drive on a non-flammable surface. Do not place flammable material nearby.
Otherwise, fire could occur.
3. Make sure power-up restart is off to prevent any unexpected operation of the motor.
3. Do not use a higher grounding method than the Type 3 grounding method.
4. Disconnect the input power if the drive gets damaged. Otherwise, it could result in a
secondary accident and fire.
5. Make certain proper shield installation is in place.
6. Never connect the input power leads to the output terminals of drive.
7. Risk of Electric Shock - More than one disconnect switch may be required to
de-energize the equipment before servicing.
8. Do not allow lint, paper, wood chips, dust, metallic chips or other foreign matter into
the drive. Otherwise, fire or accident could occur.
9. Incorrectly connecting the polarity (+/-) of the terminals can damage the drive.
