1.1.2 Safety Note
WARNING
HIGH VOLTAGE
The voltage of the frequency converter is dangerous
whenever connected to mains. Incorrect installation of the
motor, frequency converter or network may cause damage
to the equipment, serious personal injury or death.
Consequently, the instructions in this manual, as well as
national and local rules and safety regulations, must be
complied with.
1.1.3 Safety Regulations
1. The drive must be disconnected from mains if
repair work is to be carried out. Check that the
mains supply has been disconnected and that the
necessary time has passed before removing
motor and mains plugs.
2. The off-command on the serial bus does not
disconnect the equipment from mains and is thus
not to be used as a safety switch.
3. Correct protective earthing or grounding of the
equipment must be established, the user must be
protected against supply voltage, and the motor
must be protected against overload in
accordance with applicable national and local
regulations.
4. The earth leakage currents are higher than
3.5mA.
5. Do not remove the plugs for the motor and
mains supply while the drive is connected to
mains. Check that the mains supply has been
disconnected and that the necessary time has
passed before removing motor and mains plugs.
