1.2.1 Safety Note

The voltage of the adjustable frequency drive is dangerous whenever connected to line power. Incorrect installation of the motor, adjusta-
ble frequency drive or network may cause damage to the equipment, serious personal injury or death. Consequently, the instructions in this
manual, as well as national and local rules and safety regulations, must be complied with.
1.2.2 Safety Regulations
1. The adjustable frequency drive must be disconnected from line power if repair work is to be carried out. Make sure that the line power supply has
been disconnected and that the necessary time has passed before removing motor and line power plugs.
2. The [OFF] key on the control panel of the adjustable frequency drive does not disconnect the equipment from line power and is thus not to be used as
a safety switch. 3. Correct protective grounding of the equipment must be established, the user must be protected against supply voltage, and the
motor must be protected against overload in accordance with applicable national and local regulations.
3. Correct protective grounding of the equipment must be established, the user must be protected against supply voltage, and the motor must be pro-
tected against overload in accordance with applicable national and local regulations.
4. The ground leakage currents are higher than 3.5 mA.
5. Protection against motor overload is not included in the factory setting. If this function is desired, set F-10 Electronic Overload to data value Electronic
Overload trip or data value Electronic Overload warning. Note: The function is initialized at 1.16 x rated motor current and rated motor frequency. For
the North American market: The Electronic Overload functions provide class 20 motor overload protection in accordance with NEC.
6. Do not remove the plugs for the motor and line power supply while the adjustable frequency drive is connected to line power. Make sure that the line
power supply has been disconnected and that the necessary time has passed before removing motor and line power plugs.
7. Please note that the adjustable frequency drive has more voltage inputs than L1, L2 and L3 when load sharing (linking of DC intermediate circuit) and
external 24 V DC have been installed. Make sure that all voltage inputs have been disconnected and that the necessary time has passed before
commencing repair work.
