responsible for injuries or damage to equipment.
Electrical Shock Hazard
Do not examine, connect, or disconnect wiring on an energized drive. Before servicing,
disconnect all power to the equipment and wait for the time specified on the warning label at a
minimum. The internal capacitor stays charged after the drive is de-energized. The charge
indicator LED extinguishes when the DC bus voltage decreases below 50 Vdc. When all
indicators are OFF, measure for dangerous voltages to make sure that the drive is safe.
If you do work on the drive when it is energized, it will cause serious injury or death from electrical shock.
