ATTENTION: To avoid shock hazard or personal injury, make sure
that all power has been removed before proceeding. This system can
have multiple sources of power. Multiple disconnect switches can be
required to de-energize the system.
SHOCK HAZARD: This product contains stored energy devices. To
avoid the hazard of electrical shock, verify that the voltage on the
capacitors has been discharged before attempting to service, repair,
or remove this unit. Do not attempt the procedures in this document
unless you are qualified to do so and are familiar with solid-state
control equipment and the safety procedures in publication NFPA
70E.
You do not need to remove the shunt (RC) connector, unless there
is an external shunt that is wired to it.
IMPORTANT DC bus T-connectors latch on both sides when inserted into the
drive. To remove the DC bus T-connector, at least one latch must
be pried away with a non-conductive probe.
