This chapter contains safety instructions which must be complied with during installation, operation and maintenance of the power converters series DCS 500B / DCF 500B or DCP 500B. If these in- structions are not complied with, this may result in injuries (perhaps even with fatal) or in damage to the power converter, the motor and the driven machine.
