Chapter 1: Safety Information

1-1

In order to achieve the optimum, safe operation of the PSS power supply, it is imperative that you implement the safety procedures included in this user guide. This information is provided to protect you and to keep your work area safe when operating the PSS and accompanying equipment. Read this chapter carefully before you begin the installation process.

Only qualified personnel may install, adjust, maintain and repair the power supply. A “qualified person” has the knowledge and authorization to perform tasks such as transporting, assembling, installing, commissioning and operating motors.

The PSS power supply contains electrostatic-sensitive components that can be damaged if handled incorrectly. To prevent any electrostatic damage, avoid contact with highly insulating materials, such as plastic film and synthetic fabrics. Place the product on a conductive surface and ground yourself in order to discharge any possible static electricity build-up.

To avoid any potential hazards that may cause severe personal injury or damage to the product during operation, keep all covers and cabinet doors shut.

1.1Warnings

To avoid electric arcing and hazards to personnel and electrical contacts, never connect/disconnect the power supply while the power source is on.

Power cables can carry a high voltage, even when the motor is not in motion. Disconnect the PSS from all voltage sources before it is disassembled for servicing.

After shutting off the power and removing the power source from your equipment, wait at least 5 minutes before touching or disconnecting parts of the equipment that are normally loaded with electrical charges (such as capacitors or contacts). Measuring the electrical contact points with a meter before touching the equipment is recommended.
