Chapter 0 Safety Precautions 
 
Users are advised to carefully read the safety precautions required in this chapter before installing, 
testing and repairing the system. Any personnel injury and equipment loss caused by illegal 
operation are irrelevant to the company and bear any responsibility. 
 
0.1 Before Supplying Power to the Drive   
  Warning 
  The main circuit must be correctly wired. The input terminals is R, S, T. The output terminals U, V, 
W must only be used to connect the motor. Connecting the input supply to any of the U, V or W 
terminals will cause damage to the drive. 
  Caution 
  To avoid the front cover from disengaging or other physical damage, do not carry the drive by its 
cover. Support the unit by its heat sink when transporting. Improper handling can damage the drive 
or injure personnel, and should be avoided. 
  To avoid the risk of fire, do not install the drive on or near flammable objects. Install on 
nonflammable objects such as metal surfaces. 
  If several drives are placed inside the same control panel, provide adequate ventilation to maintain 
the temperature below 40°C/104°F to avoid overheating or fire. 
  When removing or installing the digital operator, turn off the power first, and then follow the 
instructions in this manual to avoid operator error or loss of display caused by faulty connections. 
  Warning 
  This product is sold subject to IEC 61800-3. In a domestic environment this product may cause radio 
interference in which case the user may need to apply corrective measures. 
0.2 Wiring 
Warning 
  Always turn OFF the power supply before attempting drive installation and wiring of the user 
terminals. 
  Always turn OFF the power supply before attempting drive installation and wiring of the user 
terminals. 
  Wiring must be performed by a qualified personnel / certified electrician. 
  Make sure the drive is properly grounded. (200V Class: Grounding impedance shall be less than 
100Ω. 400V Class: Grounding impedance shall be less than 10Ω.) It is required to disconnect the 
ground wire in the control board to avoid the sudden surge causing damage on electronic parts if it is 
improperly grounded.   
  Please check and test emergency stop circuits after wiring. (Installer is responsible for the correct 
wiring.) 
  Never touch any of the input or output power lines directly or allow any input or output power lines 
to come in contact with the drive case. 
  Do not perform a dielectric voltage withstand test (megger) on the drive or this will result in drive 
damage to the semiconductor components. 
  Caution 
  The line voltage applied must comply with the drive’s specified input voltage. 
  Connect braking resistor and braking unit to the designated terminals. 
  Do not connect a braking resistor directly to the DC terminals, otherwise fire may result. 
  Use wire gauge recommendations and torque specifications.
