ACS 300 User’s Manual v
Safety Instructions
Overview This chapter states the safety instructions which must be fol-
lowed when installing, operating and servicing the ACS 300.
If neglected, physical injury and death may follow, or dam-
age may occur to the AC drive, the motor and driven equip-
ment. The material in this chapter must be studied before
attempting any work on or with the unit.
Warnings and Notes This manual distinguishes two sorts of safety instructions.
Warnings are used to inform of conditions which can, if
proper steps are not taken, lead to a serious fault condition,
physical injury and death. Notes are used when the reader
is required to pay special attention or when there is addi-
tional information available on the subject. Notes are less
crucial than warnings, but should not be disregarded.
