DANGER!
The AC input must be compatible with the voltage range of the
Soft-Starter SSW-07.
DANGER!
Provide a power supply disconnecting switch for the Soft-Starter
SSW-07. This disconnecting switch must disconnect the AC input
voltage to the Soft-Starter SSW-07 whenever necessary (for
example:duringmaintenanceservices).
If a disconnected switch or a contactor is inserted in the motor supply
line never operate these devices with the motor running or when
the Soft-Starter SSW-07 is enabled.
