5.1

Safety Precautions

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. 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.
Do not operate equipment when covers are missing. Some figures in this section include drives
without covers or safety shields to more clearly show the inside of the drive. Replace covers
and shields before operation. Use drives only as specified by the instructions.
Failure to obey can cause death or serious injury.
Always ground the motor-side grounding terminal.
Contacting the motor case can cause death or serious injury from incorrect equipment grounding.
Do not remove covers or touch circuit boards while the drive is energized.
Failure to obey can cause death or serious injury.
Do not touch components while energized. Do not touch the output terminals directly with your
hands. Also ensure that the output wiring do not come into contact with the drive case.
Failure to obey could cause death or serious injury.
Only let authorized persons install, wire, maintain, examine, replace parts, and repair the drive.
Failure to obey can cause death or serious injury.
Do not work on the drive or around the drive while wearing loose clothing or jewelry. Tighten
loose clothing and remove all metal objects such as watches or rings.
Failure to obey can cause death or serious injury.
Do not make changes to the drive body or drive circuitry.
Failure to obey can cause death or serious injury and will void warranty. The manufacturer is not responsible for
changes to the product made by the user.
Tighten all terminal screws to the correct tightening torque.
Connections that are too loose or too tight can cause incorrect operation and damage to the drive. Incorrect
connections can also cause death or serious injury from fire.
Tighten screws against the bit at an angle in the specified range shown in this manual.
If you tighten the screws at an angle not in the specified range, you can have loose connections that can cause
damage to the terminal block or start a fire.
Do not use the main circuit power supply (Overcurrent Category III) at incorrect voltages. Make
sure that the drive rated voltage aligns with the power supply voltage before energizing the
drive.
Failure to obey can cause death or serious injury.
Do not put flammable or combustible materials on top of the drive and do not install the drive
near flammable or combustible materials. Attach the drive to metal or other noncombustible
material.
Failure to obey can cause death or serious injury.
