Attach cables to prevent any contact with moving parts.

If the drive is used outdoors, and if the power supply cable is a type H05-VVF cable, the cable should

be installed in a UV-resistant duct, e.g. under a gland.

Leave the drive power supply cable accessible: it must be possible to replace it easily.

Always make a loop in the power supply cable to prevent water entering the drive.

SPECIFIC INSTRUCTIONS

Do not connect the drive to an isolating transformer.

Do not use mains disconnection devices in conjunction with a drive.

Use only mechanical switches or electro-mechanical switches (ex: relays) to control drives.

The contacts of the relays must not be bypassed by capacitors.

In user mode, do not use electric switches allowing simultaneous Up or Down contact.

The drive must not be driven by a solid-state relay or triac relay.

Always refer to the control system instructions to do the proper wiring.

For control systems using an «automatic running time recognition procedure», please

consider the recommendations given by the producer of the controller: the N wire of the

controller has to be connected to the N wire of each drive.

Continuous orders of at least 200 ms must be sent to the drive to ensure proper execution.

Intervals between “Down” and “Up” orders must be at least 500 ms.

The drive can be wired in parallel. In this case take in consideration the maximal load of the

switch/controller used (starting current peak of the drive: 9 A in the first 3 ms).

Phases and neutrals of each drive must be connected respectively as shown below:
