Section 1: Important Safety Information
This option is specifically designed to be used with the VFD variable speed drive product range and is

electrical energy, and is used to control mechanical plants, which may cause injury. Close attention to
system design and electrical installation is required to avoid hazards during normal operation or in the
event of an equipment malfunction. VFDs and its options should be installed only by qualified electrical
personnel and in accordance with local and national regulations and codes of practice.
