General safety
These instructions are intended for all who install and service the drive. 
WARNING! Ignoring the following instructions can cause physical injury or death, or 
damage to the equipment:
• Cover the drive when installing to ensure that dust from borings and grindings or 
foreign objects do not enter the drive. Electrically conductive dust inside the unit 
may cause damage or lead to malfunction.
• Ensure sufficient cooling of the unit.
• Use extreme caution when manoeuvring heavy inverter, supply and filter 
modules.
• Beware of hot surfaces. Some parts inside the drive cabinet, such as heatsinks of 
power semiconductors, remain hot for a while after the disconnection of the 
electrical supply.
• Pay attention to rotating cooling fans. The cooling fans may continue to rotate for 
a while after the disconnection of the electrical supply.
• Recommendation: Do not fasten the cabinet by riveting or welding. However, if 
electric welding is the only way to mount the cabinet, follow the instructions given 
in chapter Mechanical installation. Ensure that welding fumes are not inhaled. If 
the welding return wire is connected improperly, the welding circuit may damage 
electronic circuits in the cabinet. 
Printed circuit boards
Fiber optic cables
WARNING! Ignoring the following instructions can cause damage to the printed 
circuit boards:
•
The printed circuit boards contain components sensitive to electrostatic 
discharge. Wear a grounding wrist band when handling the boards. Do not 
touch the boards unnecessarily.
WARNING! Ignoring the following instructions can cause equipment malfunction 
and damage to the fiber optic cables:
•
Handle the fiber optic cables with care. When unplugging optic cables, always 
grab the connector, not the cable itself. Do not touch the ends of the fibers with 
bare hands as the fiber is extremely sensitive to dirt. The minimum allowed 
bend radius is 35 mm (1.4 in.).
