Product Specific Precautions
High voltages capable of causing severe
injury or death by electrical shock are
present in this unit.
•
Do not remove or install VFD cover for wiring, periodic inspections, or
adjustments while power is applied, or the unit is in operation.
•
Capacitors inside the drive can still hold lethal voltage even after power
has been disconnected—ALLOW 5 MINUTES FOR DANGEROUS INTER-
NAL VOLTAGE TO DISCHARGE BEFORE REMOVING COVER OR WORK-
ING WITH INTERNAL COMPONENTS.
•
Perform wiring after VFD has been mounted. Otherwise, electric shock
or bodily injury can occur.
•
Do not apply power to a damaged VFD or to VFD with missing parts.
•
Do not use VFD if power or motor cable is damaged.
•
Do not handle the VFD or control devices with wet hands or when
standing on a wet or damp surface, or in water.
Risk of bodily injury, electric shock,
or property damage.
•
Install VFD on a non-flammable surface. Do not place flammable mate-
rials nearby.
•
Disconnect the input power if VFD has been damaged.
•
Do not touch VFD after shutting down or disconnecting it. It can remain
hot for a few minutes.
•
Do not allow lint, paper, wood chips, dust, metallic chips or other for-
eign material into the drive.
•
Some VFD parameters are set as default to automatically start VFD in
some applications. Disable these parameters if automatic start is not
safe for personnel or equipment.
•
If restart after fault reset is selected, the VFD can start automatically
after fault reset.
•
If required, provide an emergency mechanical brake to prevent any
hazardous conditions if VFD fails during operation.
