Safety precautions

In addition to the precautions listed throughout this manual, please read and understand the following

statements regarding hazards associated with development systems.

Table 1

Precautions

Attention: The ground potential of the Eval-M1-CM610N3 system is biased to a negative

DC bus voltage potential. When measuring voltage waveform by oscilloscope, the scope’s

ground needs to be isolated. Failure to do so may result in personal injury or death.

Darkened display LEDs are not an indication that capacitors have discharged to safe

voltage levels.

Attention: Eval-M1-CM610N3 system contains DC bus capacitors which take time to

discharge after removal of the main supply. Before working on the drive system, wait

three minutes for capacitors to discharge to safe voltage levels. Failure to do so may

result in personal injury or death. Darkened display LEDs are not an indication that

capacitors have discharged to safe voltage levels.

Attention: Only personnel familiar with the drive and associated machinery should plan

or implement the installation, start-up and subsequent maintenance of the system.

Failure to comply may result in personal injury and/or equipment damage.

Attention: The surfaces of the drive may become hot, which may cause injury.

Attention: Eval-M1-CM610N3 system contains parts and assemblies sensitive to

Electrostatic Discharge (ESD). Electrostatic control precautions are required when

installing, testing, servicing or repairing this assembly. Component damage may result if

ESD control procedures are not followed. If you are not familiar with electrostatic control

procedures, refer to applicable ESD protection handbooks and guidelines.

Attention: A drive, incorrectly applied or installed, can result in component damage or

reduction in product lifetime. Wiring or application errors such as under sizing the motor,

supplying an incorrect or inadequate AC supply or excessive ambient temperatures may

result in system malfunction.

Attention: Remove and lock out power from the drive before you disconnect or reconnect

wires or perform service. Wait three minutes after removing power to discharge the bus

capacitors. Do not attempt to service the drive until the bus capacitors have discharged

to zero. Failure to do so may result in personal injury or death.

Attention: Eval-M1-CM610N3 system is shipped with packing materials that need to be

removed prior to installation. Failure to remove all packing materials which are

unnecessary for system installation may result in overheating or abnormal operating

condition.
