GENERAL PRECAUTIONS
ATTENTION
Allow only qualified personnel familiar with adjustable
frequency AC drives, and associated machinery to
plan or implement the installation, start-up and
subsequent maintenance of the system. Failure to
comply can result in personal injury and/or equipment
damage.
ATTENTION
To avoid an electric shock hazard, verify that the
voltage on the bus capacitors has discharged before
performing any work on the electrical controls,
switches and/or drives if applicable.
ATTENTION
Incorrectly applied or installed electrical controls,
switches and/or drives can result in component
damage or a reduction in product life. Wiring or
application errors, such as, undersizing the motor,
incorrect or inadequate AC supply, or excessive
ambient temperatures can result in malfunction of the
system.
ATTENTION
The electrical controls, switches and/or drives may
contain ESD (Electrostatic Discharge) sensitive parts
and assemblies. Static control precautions may be
required when installing, testing, servicing or repairing
this assembly. Component damage can result if ESD
control procedures are not followed.
