Section Safety image/svg+xml Warning image/svg+xml Electrical Shock Hazard Only let approved personnel install, wire, maintain, examine, replace parts, and repair the drive. If personnel are not approved, it can cause serious injury or death. image/svg+xml Warning image/svg+xml Electrical Shock Hazard Do not modify the drive body or drive circuitry. Modifications to drive body and circuitry can cause serious injury or death, will cause damage to the drive, and will void the warranty. Yaskawa is not responsible for modifications of the product made by the user. image/svg+xml Warning image/svg+xml Fire Hazard Do not put flammable or combustible materials on top of the drive and do not install the drive near flammable or combustible materials. Attach the drive to metal or other noncombustible material. Flammable and combustible materials can start a fire and cause serious injury or death. image/svg+xml Warning image/svg+xml Fire Hazard When you install the drive in an enclosure, use a cooling fan or cooler to decrease the temperature around the drive. Make sure that the intake air temperature to the drive is 50 °C (122 °F) or less for IP00/UL Open Type or IP20/UL Open Type drives, and 40 °C (104 °F) or less for IP20/UL Type 1 drives. If the air temperature is too hot, the drive can become too hot and cause a fire and serious injury or death. image/svg+xml Warning image/svg+xml Crush Hazard Only approved personnel can operate a crane or hoist to move the drive. If unapproved personnel operate a crane or hoist, it can cause serious injury or death from falling equipment. image/svg+xml Warning image/svg+xml Crush Hazard Before you hang the drive vertically, use screws to correctly attach the drive front cover and other drive components. If you do not secure the front cover, it can fall and cause minor injury. image/svg+xml Warning image/svg+xml Crush Hazard When you use a crane or hoist to lift the drive during installation or removal, prevent more than 1.96 m/s2 (0.2 G) vibration or impact. Too much vibration or impact can cause serious injury or death from falling equipment. image/svg+xml Warning image/svg+xml Crush Hazard When you lift the drive during installation or removal, do not try to turn the drive over and do not ignore the hanging drive. If you move a hanging drive too much or if you ignore it, the drive can fall and cause serious injury or death. image/svg+xml Warning image/svg+xml Crush Hazard Use a crane or hoist to move large drives when necessary. If you try to move a large drive without a crane or hoist, it can cause serious injury or death. image/svg+xml CAUTION image/svg+xml Crush Hazard Tighten terminal cover screws and hold the case safely when you move the drive. If the drive or covers fall, it can cause moderate injury. Notice image/svg+xml Do not let unwanted objects, for example metal shavings or wire clippings, fall into the drive during drive installation. Put a temporary cover over the drive during installation. Remove the temporary cover before start-up. Unwanted objects inside of the drive can cause damage to the drive. Notice image/svg+xml Damage to Equipment When you touch the drive and circuit boards, make sure that you observe correct electrostatic discharge (ESD) procedures. If you do not follow procedures, it can cause ESD damage to the drive circuitry. Notice image/svg+xml Install vibration-proof rubber on the base of the motor or use the frequency jump function in the drive to prevent specific frequencies that vibrate the motor. Motor or system resonant vibration can occur in fixed speed machines that are converted to variable speed. Too much vibration can cause damage to equipment. Notice image/svg+xml You can use the drive with an explosion-proof motor, but the drive is not explosion-proof. Install the drive only in the environment shown on the nameplate. If you install the drive in a dangerous environment, it can cause damage to the drive. Notice image/svg+xml Do not lift the drive with the covers removed. If the drive does not have covers, you can easily cause damage to the internal parts of the drive.
