3. Precautions and Specifications

Rotating shafts and electrical equipment can be hazardous. Installation, operation, and maintenance of the ASD and interface board shall be performed by Qualified Personnel only.

Qualified Personnel shall be:

•Familiar with the construction and function of the ASD and interface board, the equipment being driven, and the hazards involved.

•Trained and authorized to safely clear faults, ground and tag circuits, energize and de-energize circuits in accordance with established safety practices.

•Trained in the proper care and use of protective equipment in accordance with established safety practices.

Installation of ASD systems and associated interface boards should conform to all applicable National Electrical Code (NEC) Requirements For Electrical Installations, all regulations of the Occupational Safety and Health Administration, and any other applicable national, regional, or industry codes and standards.

DO NOT install, operate, perform maintenance, or dispose of this equipment until you have read and understood all of the following product warnings and user directions. Failure to do so may result in equipment damage, operator injury, or death.

3.1Installation Precautions

•Use lockout/tagout procedures on the branch circuit disconnect before installing the interface board into the ASD.

•Avoid installation in areas where vibration, heat, humidity, dust, metal particles, or high levels of electrical noise (EMI) are present.

•Do not install the ASD or interface board where it may be exposed to flammable chemicals or gasses, water, solvents, or other fluids.

•Where applicable, always ground the interface board appropriately to prevent electrical shock to personnel and to help reduce electrical noise. The ASD’s input, output, and control power cables are to be run separately from the interface board’s associated cables.

Note: Conduit is not an acceptable ground.

•Turn the power on only after attaching the front cover.
