1 Safety Instructions and General WarningsEN 6 YASKAWA Europe TOEP C710616 88A - AC Drive A1000 IP23/54 Floor Standing - Quick Start Guide Safety WarningsWARNINGElectrical Shock HazardDo not attempt to modify or alter the drive in any way not explained in this manual.YASKAWA is not responsible for the damage caused by modification of the product made by the user. Failure tocomply could result in death or serious injury from operation of damaged equipment.Do not touch any terminals before the capacitors have fully discharged.Failure to comply could result in death or serious injury.Before wiring terminals, disconnect all power to the equipment. The internal capacitor remains charged even after thepower supply is turned off. The charge indicator LED will extinguish when the DC bus voltage is below 50 Vdc. Toprevent electric shock, wait at least five minutes after all indicators are off and measure the DC bus voltage level toconfirm safe level.Do not allow unqualified personnel to use equipment.Failure to comply could result in death or serious injury.Maintenance, inspection, and replacement of parts must be performed only by authorized personnel familiar withinstallation, adjustment, and maintenance of AC drives.Do not change wiring, remove covers, connectors or options cards, or attempt to service the drive with powerapplied to the drive.Failure to comply could result in death or serious injury. Disconnect all power to the drive and check for unsafevoltages before servicing.Always ground the motor-side grounding terminal.Improper equipment grounding could result in death or serious injury by contacting the motor case.Do not perform work on the drive while wearing loose clothing, jewelry or without eye protection.Failure to comply could result in death or serious injury.Remove all metal objects such as watches and rings, secure loose clothing, and wear eye protection before beginningwork on the drive.Never short the output circuits of the drive.Do not short the output circuits of the drive. Failure to comply could result in death or serious injury.Use appropriate equipment for residual current monitoring/detection (RCM/RCD).This drive can cause a residual current with a DC component in the protective earthing conductor. Where a residualcurrent operated protective or monitoring device is used for protection in case of direct or indirect contact, always usean RCM or RCD of type B according to IEC 60755.Sudden Movement HazardStay clear of the motor during rotational Auto-Tuning. The motor may start operating suddenly.During automatic starting of equipment, the machine may start moving suddenly, which could result in death or seriousinjury.System may start unexpectedly upon application of power, resulting in death or serious injury.Clear all personnel from the drive, motor, and machine area before applying power. Secure covers, couplings, shaftkeys, and machine loads before applying power to the drive.Fire HazardDo not use an improper voltage source.Failure to comply could result in death or serious injury by fire.Verify that the rated voltage of the drive matches the voltage of the incoming power supply before applying power.
