DANGER

HAZARD OF ELECTRIC SHOCK, EXPLOSION OR ARC FLASH

Disconnect all power from all equipment including connected devices prior to removing any covers or doors, or installing or removing any accessories, hardware, cables, or wires except under the specific conditions specified in the appropriate hardware guide for this equipment.
Always use a properly rated voltage sensing device to confirm the power is off where and when indicated.
Replace and secure all covers, accessories, hardware, cables, and wires and confirm that a proper ground connection exists before applying power to the unit.
Use only the specified voltage when operating this equipment and any associated products.

Failure to follow these instructions will result in death or serious injury.

WARNING

LOSS OF CONTROL

Perform a Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (FMEA), or equivalent risk analysis, of your application, and apply preventive and detective controls before implementation.
Provide a fallback state for undesired control events or sequences.
Provide separate or redundant control paths wherever required.
Supply appropriate parameters, particularly for limits.
Review the implications of transmission delays and take actions to mitigate them.
Review the implications of communication link interruptions and take actions to mitigate them.
Provide independent paths for control functions (for example, emergency stop, over-limit conditions, and error conditions) according to your risk assessment, and applicable codes and regulations.
Apply local accident prevention and safety regulations and guidelines.¹
Test each implementation of a system for proper operation before placing it into service.

Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, serious injury, or equipment damage.

¹ For additional information, refer to NEMA ICS 1.1 (latest edition), Safety Guidelines for the Application, Installation, and Maintenance of Solid State Control and to NEMA ICS 7.1 (latest edition), Safety Standards for Construction and Guide for Selection, Installation and Operation of Adjustable-Speed Drive Systems or their equivalent governing your particular location.
