6.5 DC power requirements
The following voltage specifications apply at the power connector of the drive. Damage to the drive
electronics may result if the power supply cable is connected or disconnected while power is being
applied to the drive (no hot plug/unplug is allowed). Connections to the drive should be made in a low
voltage, isolated secondary circuit (SELV). There is no special power on/off sequencing required.

Note: To avoid damage to the drive electronics, power supply voltage spikes must not exceed specifi-
cations.
