Safety Information

In order to achieve the optimum, safe operation of the Falcon servo drive, it is imperative that
you implement the safety procedures included in this installation guide. This information is
provided to protect you and to keep your work area safe when operating the Falcon and
accompanying equipment.

Please read this chapter carefully before you begin the installation process.

Before you start, ensure that all system components are connected to earth ground. Electrical
safety is provided through a low-resistance earth connection.

handled incorrectly. To prevent any electrostatic damage, avoid contact with highly insulating
materials, such as plastic film and synthetic fabrics. Place the product on a conductive surface
and ground yourself in order to discharge any possible static electricity build-up.

To avoid any potential hazards that may cause severe personal injury or damage to the product
during operation, keep all covers and cabinet doors shut.
