ATTENTION: Capacitors on the DC bus can retain hazardous voltages after
input power has been removed. Before working on the drive, measure the DC
bus voltage to verify that it has reached a safe level or wait the full-time
interval as indicated in the warning on the front of the drive. Failure to
observe this precaution could result in severe bodily injury or loss of life.
ATTENTION: Do not attempt to defeat or override the drive fault circuits. You
must determine the cause of a fault and correct it before you attempt to
operate the system. Failure to correct the fault could result in personal injury
and/or damage to equipment as a result of uncontrolled machine operation.
ATTENTION: Provide an earth ground for test equipment (oscilloscope) used
in troubleshooting. Failure to ground the test equipment could result in
personal injury.
