This chapter states the safety instructions that must be followed when installing and operating the NMBA-01 Modbus Adapter Module. If neglected, physical injury and death may follow, or damage may occur to the frequency converter, the motor and driven equipment. The material in this chapter must be studied before attempting any work on, or with, the unit. Warnings and Notes This manual distinguishes two sorts of safety instructions. Warnings are used to inform of conditions which can, if proper steps are not taken, lead to a serious fault condition, physical injury and death. Notes are used when the reader is required to pay special attention or when there is additional information available on the subject. Notes are less crucial than Warnings, but should not be disregarded.
Readers are informed of situations
that can result in serious physical injury and/or serious damage to equipment with the following symbols:Dangerous Voltage Warning: warns of situations in which a high voltage can cause physical injury and/or damage equipment. The text next to this symbol describes ways to avoid the danger. General Warning: warns of situations which can cause physical injury and/or damage equipment by means other than electrical. The text next to this symbol describes ways to avoid the danger. Electrostatic Discharge Warning: warns of situations in which an electrostatic discharge can damage equipment. The text next to this symbol describes ways to avoid the danger
General Safety Instructions
WARNING! All electrical installation and maintenance work on the drive should be carried out by qualified electricians. The drive and adjoining equipment must be properly earthed. Do not attempt any work on a powered drive. After switching off the mains, always allow the intermediate circuit capacitors 5 minutes to discharge before working on the frequency converter, the motor or the motor cable. It is good practice to check (with a voltage indicating instrument) that the frequency converter is in fact discharged before beginning work.
