WARNING: High voltages inside the frequency converter. Wait for at least five minutes after
the supply voltage has been switched off before service actions. The display in the operating
condition (lights on) indicates a dangerous voltage on the DC-bus. When display turns off, the
DC-bus voltage is approximately 100V. Note also that there is always a dangerous voltage in
the braking resistor when the DC-bus is charged.
