Safety Information and Precautions
Warnings, Cautions and Notes
WARNING
A Warning contains information, which is essential for avoiding a safety hazard.
CAUTION
A Caution contains information, which is necessary for avoiding a risk of damage to the product or
other machine.
Note
A Note contains information which helps to ensure correct operation.
Electrical Safety
Extreme care must be taken at all times when working with the AC Drive or within the area of the AC Drive.
The voltages used in the AC Drive can cause severe electrical shock or burns and is potentially lethal. Only

Machine/System Design and Safety of Personnel
Machine/system design, installation, commissioning startups and maintenance must be carried out by
personnel who have the necessary training and experience. They must read this safety information and the
contents of this manual. If incorrectly installed, the AC Drive may present a safety hazard.
The AC Drive uses high voltages and currents (including DC), carries a high level of stored electrical energy
in the DC bus capacitors even after power OFF. These high voltages are potentially lethal.
The AC Drive is NOT intended to be used for safety related applications/functions. The electronic “STOP &
START” control circuits within the AC Drive must not be relied upon for the safety of personnel. Such control
circuits do not isolate mains power voltages from the output of the AC Drive. The mains power supply must
be disconnected by an electrical safety isolation device before accessing the internal parts of the AC Drive.
Safety risk assessments of the machine or process system which uses an AC Drive must be undertaken
by the user and or by their systems integrator/designer. In particular the safety assessment/design must
take into consideration the consequences of the AC Drive failing or tripping out during normal operation and
whether this leads to a safe stop position without damaging machine, adjacent equipment and machine
operators/users. This responsibility lies with the user or their machine/process system integrator.
System integrator/designer must ensure the complete system is safe and designed according to the relevant
safety standards. Inovance Technology and Authorized Distributors can provide recommendations related to
the AC drive to ensure long term safe operation.
The installer of the AC Drive is responsible for complying with all relevant regulations for wiring, circuit
fuse protection, earthing, accident prevention and electromagnetic (EMC regulations). In particular fault
