2.1.4 Avoid Unintended Start

Disconnect the frequency converter from mains whenever personal safety considerations make it necessary to avoid unintended start.

To avoid unintended start, always activate the [OFF] key before changing parameters.

An electronic fault, temporary overload, a fault in the mains supply, or lost motor connection may cause a stopped motor to start. Frequency converter
with Safe Stop provides protection against unintended start, if the Safe Stop Terminal 37 is on low voltage level or disconnected.
