G7 ASD Operation Manual 7
System Integration Precau tio ns
The following precautions are provided as general guidelines for the setup of the ASD within the
system.
• The Toshiba ASD is a general-purpose product. It is a system component only and the system
design should take this into consideration. Please contact your Toshiba sales representative for
application-specific information or for training support.
• The Toshiba ASD is part of a larger system and the safe operation of the ASD will depend on
observing certain precautions and performing proper system integration.
• A detailed system analysis and job safety analysis should be performed by the systems designer
and/or systems integrator before the installati on of t he ASD compone nt. Conta ct your Toshiba sales
representative for options availability and for application-specific system integration information if
required.

Personnel Protection

• Installation, operation, and maintenance shall be performed by Qualified Personnel Only.
• A thorough understanding of the ASD will be required before the installation, operation, or
maintenance of the ASD.
• Rotating machinery and live conductors can be hazardous and shall not come into contact with
humans. Personnel should be protected from all rotating machinery and electrical hazards at all
times.
• Insulators, machine guards, and electrical safeguards may fail or be defeated by the purposeful or
inadvertent actions of workers. Insulato rs, machine guards , and electrical saf eguards are to be
inspected (and tested where possible) at installation and periodically after installation for potential
hazardous conditions.
• Do not allow personnel near rotating machinery. Warning signs to this effect shall be posted at or
near the machinery.
• Do not allow personnel near electrical conductors. Human cont ac t with e lect rical conduct ors c an be
fatal. Warning signs to this effect shal l be pos ted at or near the hazard.
• Personal protection equipment shall be provided and used to protect em ployees from any hazards
inherent to system operation.
• Follow all warnings and precautions and do not exceed equipment ratings.

System Setup Requirements

• When using the ASD as an integral part of a larger system, it is the responsibility of the ASD
installer or maintenance pers o nnel to ensure that there is a fail-safe in place, i.e., an arrangement
designed to switch the system to a safe condition if there is a fault or failure.
• System safety features should be employed and designed into the integrated s ystem in a manner
such that system operation , ev en in th e ev e nt of sy ste m failure, will not cause harm o r res ul t in
personnel injury or system damage (i.e., E-Off, Auto-Restart settings, System Interlocks, etc.).
• The programming setup and system configuration of the ASD may allow it to start the motor
unexpectedly. A familiarity with the Auto-restart settings are a requirement to use this product.
