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 who 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
for the quality of our products, in compliance with standards and specifications that are described in the manual.
Yaskawa does not offer other warranties, either explicit or implied. Injuries, property damage, and lost business
opportunities caused by improper storage or handling and negligence oversight on the part of your company or

• Read this manual carefully when mounting, operating, and repairing AC drives.
• Obey all warnings, cautions, and notices.
• Approved personnel must perform all work.
• Install the drive according to this manual and local codes.
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. When all indicators are OFF, remove the covers before measuring for dangerous voltages to make
sure that the drive is safe. If you do work on the drive when it is energized, it will cause serious injury or death from electrical
shock.
WARNING
Fire Hazard. Do not connect main power supply wiring to drive motor terminals U/T1, V/T2, and W/T3.
Connect main power supply wiring to main circuit input terminals R/L1, S/L2, and T/L3. Incorrect wiring can cause serious injury
or death from fire.
WARNING Crush Hazard. Only approved personnel can operate a crane or hoist to move the drive. If unapproved
personnel operate a crane or hoist, it can cause serious injury or death from falling equipment.
WARNING
Electrical Shock Hazard. Do not modify the drive body or drive circuitry. Modifications to drive body and
circuitry can cause serious injury or death, will cause damage to the drive, and will void the warranty. Yaskawa is not
responsible for modifications of the product made by the user.
WARNING
Electrical Shock Hazard. Only let approved personnel install, wire, maintain, examine, replace parts, and
repair the drive. If personnel are not approved, it can cause serious injury or death.
