Safety instructions
WARNING! Obey these instructions. If you ignore them, injury or death, or damage to the equipment can occur. If
you are not a qualified electrical professional, do not do electrical installation or maintenance work.
WARNING! Before you activate the automatic fault reset or automatic restart functions of the drive control
program, make sure that no dangerous situations can occur. These functions reset the drive automatically and
continue operation after a fault or supply break. If these functions are activated, the installation must be clearly
marked as defined in UL 61800-5-1, sub clause 6.5.3, for example, "THIS MACHINE STARTS AUTOMATICALLY".
•
Do not do work on the drive, motor cable, motor, or control cables when the drive is connected to the input power.
Before you start the work, isolate the drive from all dangerous voltage sources and make sure that it is safe to start the
work. Always wait for 5 minutes after disconnecting the input power to let the intermediate circuit capacitors
discharge.
•
Do not do work on the drive when a rotating permanent magnet motor is connected to it. A rotating permanent
magnet motor energizes the drive, including its input and output terminals.
•
Frames R1...R2, UL Type 1: Do
not lift the drive by holding it
from the cover. The cover can
come loose and cause the
drive to fall.
•
Frames R5...R9: Do not tilt the
drive. The drive is heavy and
has a high center of gravity. It
can topple accidentally.
•
Frames R5...R9: Lift the drive
with a lifting device. Use the
lifting eyes of the drive.
1. Unpack the drive
Keep the drive in its package until you are ready to install it. After unpacking, protect the drive from dust, debris and
moisture. Make sure that these items are included:
•
cable/conduit box (frames R1...R2 and R5...R9, UL Type 1)
•
drive
•
mounting template
•
control panel (factory-installed on the cover in some drive types)
•
quick installation and start-up guide
•
residual voltage warning stickers
•
options in separate packages, if ordered.
Make sure that there are no signs of damage to the items.
2. Reform the capacitors
If the drive has not been powered up for a year or more, you must reform the DC link capacitors. See
contact ABB technical support. Reference the hardware manual to determine the age of the drive based on the serial
number.
