Hazardous materials
Environmental protection is a top priority for Rockwell Automation. The
facility that manufactured this medium voltage drive operates an
environmental management system that is certified to the requirements of
ISO 14001. As part of this system, this product was reviewed in detail
throughout the development process to ensure that environmentally inert
materials were used wherever feasible. A final review has found this
product to be substantially free of hazardous material.
Please be assured that Rockwell Automation is actively seeking
alternatives to potentially hazardous materials for which no feasible
alternatives exist today in the industry. In the interim, the following
precautionary information is provided for your protection and for the
protection of the environment. Please contact the factory for any
environmental information on any material in the drive or with any

Capacitor Dielectric Fluid
The fluids used in the filter capacitors and the snubber capacitors are
generally considered very safe and are fully sealed within the
capacitor housings. Shipping and handling of this fluid is not
restricted under any regulations. In the unlikely event that capacitor
fluid leaks out, avoid ingestion or contact with skin or eyes as slight
irritation could result. Rubber gloves are recommended for handling.
To clean up, soak into an absorbent material and discard into an
emergency container, or, if significant leakage occurs, pump fluid
directly into the container. Do not dispose into any drain or into the
environment in general or into general landfill refuse. Dispose of
according to local regulations. If disposing of an entire capacitor, the
same disposal precautions should be taken.
• Printed Circuit Boards
Printed circuit boards may contain lead. Shipping and handling of
these boards is not restricted under any regulations, however, lead is
considered a hazardous substance. Circuit boards must be disposed of
according to local regulations and must not be disposed of with
general landfill refuse.
