General Safety Instructions

Yaskawa Electric manufactures and supplies electronic components for a variety of industrial applications. The
selection and application of Yaskawa products is the responsibility of the designer of the equipment or the
customer that assembles the final product. Yaskawa is not responsible for how our products are incorporated into
the final system design. In all cases, Yaskawa products should not be incorporated into a product or design as the
exclusive or sole safety control function. All control functions are designed to dynamically detect failures and
operate safely without exception. All products that are designed to incorporate parts manufactured by Yaskawa
must be provided to the end user and include proper warnings and instructions regarding their safe use and
operation. All warnings from Yaskawa must be promptly issued to the end user. Yaskawa offers warranties only

• Obey all warnings, cautions, and notices.
• Approved personnel must perform all work.
• Install the drive in an area with these conditions.
DANGER Electrical Shock Hazard. Do not examine, connect, or disconnect wiring on an energized drive. Before
servicing, disconnect all power to the equipment and wait for the time specified on the warning label at a minimum. The internal
capacitor stays charged after the drive is de-energized. The charge indicator LED extinguishes when the DC bus voltage
decreases below 50 Vdc. To prevent electric shock, always wait for at least the amount of time indicated on the warning labels.
When all indicators are OFF, remove the covers before measuring for dangerous voltages to make sure that the drive is safe.
Failure to obey will cause death or serious injury.
WARNING Fire Hazard. Do not connect power supply wiring to drive output terminals U/T1, V/T2, and W/T3. Connect
power supply wiring to main circuit input terminals R/L1, S/L2, and T/L3. Failure to obey can cause death or serious injury.
WARNING
Crush Hazard. Only approved personnel can operate a crane or hoist to move the drive. Failure to obey can
cause death or serious injury from falling equipment.
