WARNING: Do not remove cover for at least five (5) minutes after AC power is disconnected

!to allow capacitors to discharge. Dangerous voltages are present inside the equipment. Electrical shock can cause serious or fatal injury.

WARNING: Improper operation of control may cause violent motion of the motor shaft and driven

!equipment. Be certain that unexpected motor shaft movement will not cause injury to personnel or damage to equipment. Certain failure modes of the control can produce peak torque of several times the rated motor torque.

WARNING: Motor circuit may have high voltage present whenever AC power is applied, even

!when motor is not rotating. Electrical shock can cause serious or fatal injury.

WARNING: Dynamic brake resistors may generate enough heat to ignite combustible materials.

!Keep all combustible materials and flammable vapors away from brake resistors.

WARNING: The motor shaft will rotate during the touting procedure. Be certain that unexpected

!motor shaft movement will not cause injury to personnel or damage to equipment.

CAUTION: Disconnect motor leads (U, V & W) from control before you perform a “Megger” test

!on the motor. Failure to disconnect motor from the control will result in extensive damage to the control. The control is tested at the factory for high voltage / leakage resistance as part of Underwriter Laboratory requirements.

CAUTION: Suitable for use on a circuit capable of delivering not more than the RMS

!symmetrical short circuit amperes listed here at rated voltage.

Horsepower RMS Symmetrical Ampheres

1-305,000

CAUTION: Do not connect AC power to the Motor terminals U, V and W. Connecting AC power

!to these terminals may result in damage to the control.

CAUTION: Baldor recommends not to use "Grounded Leg Delta" transformer power leads that

!may create ground loops. Instead, we recommend using a four wire Wye.

CAUTION: Only Baldor cables should be used to connect the keypad and control. These are

!special cables to protect the control and keypad. Damage associated with other cable types are not covered by the Baldor warranty.

CAUTION: If an M-Contactor is installed, the control must be disabled for at least 200msec

!before the M-Contactor is opened. If the M-Contactor is opened while the control is supplying voltage and current to the motor, the control may be damaged. Before the control is enabled, the M-Contactor must be closed for at least 200msec.

CAUTION: Use of power correction capacitors on the output of the drive can result in erratic

!operation of the motor, nuisance tripping, and/or permanent damage to the drive. Remove power correction capacitors before proceeding. Failure to observe this precaution could result in damage to, or destruction of, the equipment.
