8 GX9 ASD Installation and Operation Manual
System Integration Precautions
The following precautions are provided as general guidelines for the setup of the ASD within the
system.
• The ASD is a general-purpose product. It is a system component only and the system design should
take this into consideration. Please contact the Toshiba Customer Support Center for application-
specific information or for training support.
• The ASD is part of a larger system and the safe operation of the ASD will depend upon observing
certain precautions and performing proper system integration.
• Improperly designed or improperly installed system interlocks may render the motor unable to start
or stop on command.
• The failure of external or ancillary components may cause intermittent system operation (i.e., the
system may start the motor without warning).
• A detailed system analysis and job safety analysis shall be performed by the systems designer and/
or systems integrator before the installation of the ASD component. Contact the Toshiba Customer
Support Center for options availability and for application-specific system integration information
if required.
Personnel Protection
• Installation, operation, and maintenance shall be performed by Qualified Personnel ONLY.
• A thorough understanding of the ASD will be required before the installation, operation, or
maintenance of the ASD.
• Rotating machinery and live conductors can be hazardous and shall not come into contact with
personnel. Personnel shall be protected from all rotating machinery and electrical hazards at all
times.
• Insulators, machine guards, and electrical safeguards may fail or be defeated by the purposeful or
inadvertent actions of workers. Insulators, machine guards, and electrical safeguards are to be
inspected (and tested where possible) at installation and periodically after installation for potential
hazardous conditions.
• DO NOT allow personnel near rotating machinery. Warning signs to this effect must be clearly
posted at or near the machinery/hazard.
• DO NOT allow personnel near electrical conductors. Contact with electrical conductors can be
fatal. Warning signs to this effect must be clearly posted at or near the machinery/hazard.
• Personal Protection Equipment (PPE) shall be provided and used to protect the installer, user,
maintenance personnel, and all employees from any hazards inherent to system operation.
