Ensure that the Run functions (F, R, Preset Speed, etc.) of the ASD are off before performing a
Reset. The post-reset settings may allow the ASD to start unexpectedly.
In the event of a power failure, the motor may restart after power is restored.
Retry or Reset settings may allow the motor to start unexpectedly. Warnings to this effect
should be clearly posted near the ASD and motor.
Use lockout/tagout procedures on the branch circuit disconnect before installing the ASD.
Do Not mount the device in a location that would produce catastrophic results if it were to fall
from its mounting location (equipment damage or injury).
Select a mounting location that is easily accessible by the user.
Avoid installation in areas where vibration, heat, humidity, dust, metal particles, or high levels
of electrical noise (EMI) are present.
Do not install the ASD where it may be exposed to flammable chemicals or gasses, water,
solvents, or other fluids.
Always ground the unit to prevent electrical shock to personnel and to help reduce electrical
noise. The input, output, and control power cables are to be run separately and each shall have
its own ground cable.
Note: Conduit is not an acceptable ground.
Ensure that the 3 phase input power is Not connected to the output of the ASD. This will destroy
the ASD and may cause injury to personnel.
Do Not connect resistors across terminals PA – PC or PO – PC. This may cause a fire.
Do not install the ASD if it is damaged or if it is missing component(s).
Turn the power on only after attaching the front cover.
