WARNING
HIGH VOLTAGE
Frequency converters contain high voltage when
connected to AC mains input power. Installation, start up,
and maintenance should be performed by qualified
personnel only. Failure to perform installation, start up, and
maintenance by qualified personnel could result in death
or serious injury.
WARNING
UNINTENDED START
When the frequency converter is connected to AC mains,
the motor may start at any time. The frequency converter,
motor, and any driven equipment must be in operational
readiness. Failure to be in operational readiness when the
frequency converter is connected to AC mains could result
in death, serious injury, equipment, or property damage.
WARNING
DISCHARGE TIME
Frequency converters contain DC-link capacitors that can
remain charged even when the frequency converter is not
powered. To avoid electrical hazards, disconnect AC mains,
any permanent magnet type motors, and any remote DC-
link power supplies, including battery backups, UPS and
DC-link connections to other frequency converters. Wait for
the capacitors to fully discharge before performing any
service or repair work. The amount of wait time is listed in
the Discharge Time table. Failure to wait the specified time
after power has been removed before doing service or
repair could result in death or serious injury.
WARNING
DISCHARGE TIME!
Frequency converters contain DC link capacitors that can
remain charged even when AC mains is disconnected. To
avoid electrical hazards, remove AC mains from the
frequency converter before doing any service or repair and
wait the amount of time specified in Table 1.1. Failure to
wait the specified time after power has been removed
prior to doing service or repair on the unit could result in
death or serious injury.
