Safety Instructions 1 SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS This manual contains the information necessary for the correct use of the MW500 drive. It was developed to be operated by people with proper technical training or qualification to handle this kind of equipment. Those people must follow the safety instructions defined by the local standards.
Always connect the grounding point of the drive to the protection grounding. NOTES! The MW500 drive may interfere in other electronic equipment. Observe the recommendations of chapter 3 - Installation and Connection order to minimize these effects.
The V/f mode is used when more than one motor is activated by a drive simultaneously (multimotor applications). The MW500 can be mounted on the motor or on the wall, depending on the application requirements.

Report any damage immediately to the carrier. If the MW500 will not be installed soon, store it in a clean and dry location (temperature between -25 °C and 60 °C (-13 °F and 140 °F)), with a cover to protect it against dust accumulation and in consequence maintain the dissipation capacity of the drive.
For assembling of the drive in the wall follow the step by step guide in figure C.2 Appendix ATTENTION! Provide independent conduits for the physical separation of signal, control, and power cables (refer to section 3.2 - Electrical Installation). 8 | MW500 - English -...
Comply with the applicable local regulations for electrical installations. Make sure the power supply is disconnected before starting the installation.
