Chapter 1: Safety Information
In order to achieve the optimum, safe operation of the PSS power supply, it is imperative
that you implement the safety procedures included in this user guide. This information is
provided to protect you and to keep your work area safe when operating the PSS and
accompanying equipment. Read this chapter carefully before you begin the installation
process.
Only qualified personnel may install, adjust, maintain and repair the power supply. A
“qualified person” has the knowledge and authorization to perform tasks such as
transporting, assembling, installing, commissioning and operating motors.
The PSS power supply contains electrostatic-sensitive components that can be damaged if
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.
The following safety symbols are used in this manual:
Warning:
This information is needed to avoid a safety hazard, which might cause

This information is necessary for preventing damage to the product or to
other equipment.
Note:
This is auxiliary information that ensures the correct operation of the
equipment.
1.1 Warnings
To avoid electric arcing and hazards to personnel and electrical contacts,
never connect/disconnect the power supply while the power source is on.
Power cables can carry a high voltage, even when the motor is not in
motion. Disconnect the PSS from all voltage sources before it is
disassembled for servicing.
After shutting off the power and removing the power source from your
equipment, wait at least 5 minutes before touching or disconnecting parts
of the equipment that are normally loaded with electrical charges (such as
capacitors or contacts). Measuring the electrical contact points with a
meter before touching the equipment is recommended.
