Hazardous Voltages
The INPUT AND OUTPUT POWER connectors and cables of the SynQor MINV-4000-270 may
have voltages that are unsafe. INJURY OR DEATH ON CONTACT may result. Appropriate
safety precautions should be taken. All connections should be made in accordance with
LOCAL ELECTRICAL CODES.
• The CHASSIS should be connected to earth or system ground with Ground Stud on the rear
panel, see mechanical diagrams.
• For the DC input cable and connector:
•Do not assume that a hazardous voltage is not present at the terminals of the DC input
connector, even if the MINV appears to be “OFF”.
•Do not make contact with the terminals of the DC input connector.
•Always connect the cable to the MINV before it is connected to the source of DC power.
•AlwaysdisconnecttheDCinputcablefromthesourceofDCpowerbeforedisconnecng
it from the MINV.
•If the DC input cable is connected to the source of DC power and not connected to the
MINV, do not contact the exposed terminals of the DC input cable.
•If custom built cables are used to power the MINV Unit, verify that the custom input cabling
hasareliablegroundconneconandthatthegroundconneconhasnotbeenaccidentally
swappedwithalineconnecon.Connecngthegroundwiretoalivelinecouldpossibly
put hazardous voltages across the chassis.
•ConneconsbetweentheDCinputcableandthesourceofDCpowershouldnotbeaccessible.
• For the AC OUTPUT cable and connector:
•Do not assume that a hazardous voltage is not present at the terminals of the AC output
connector, even if the MINV appears to be “OFF”.
•Do not make contact with the terminals of the AC output connector.
•Connect the AC output cable to the MINV before the MINV is turned on.
• If connecon of the load to the AC output cable has exposed conductors, make this
conneconbeforeconnecngtheACoutputcabletotheMINV.
•ConneconsbetweentheACoutputcableandtheACloadshouldnotbeaccessible.

Hazardous Energies
The INPUT AND OUTPUT POWER connectors and cables of the SynQor MINV-4000-270 may
be a source of high levels of energy. Do not inappropriately make electrical contact between
any terminal of a connector and another, or between any wire of a cable and another, or
between any terminal or wire and the MINV Unit’s chassis or ground. DAMAGING ELECTRICAL
ARCS may result. Care should be taken to avoid accidental electrical contacts of this sort. The
CHASSIS should be connected to earth or system ground through the Ground Stud on the rear
panel, see mechanical diagrams.
Protecon from the Environment
The SynQor MINV-4000-270 is a ruggedly built product having its electronics contained in a
sealedchamber.Itiscapableofwithstandingharshlevelsofmechanicalacceleraon,shock
andvibraon,temperatureandpressurevariaons,andexposuretowater,salt,sandanddust
withinthelevelsspeciedinthedatasheet.THESE LEVELS SHOULD NOT BE EXCEEDED.
Do not obstruct the air intake in the front of the MINV or the fan exhausts in the rear panel of
theMINVwhiletheMINVisoperang.
User Serviceable Parts
MINV-4000-270 fans are user replaceable with kits available from SynQor. Please contact the
SynQorfactoryforobtainingfanreplacementkitsandinstrucons(Counter-RotangReplaceable
Fan Module , two piece kit, SYN-9452). The SynQor MINV has no other user serviceable parts
inside. DO NOT REMOVE the cover of the MINV or any of its connectors. Other than fan assembly
replacement, only factory trained personnel should perform unit repairs.
