• Beware of hot surfaces. Some parts, such as heatsinks of power semiconductors,
remain hot for a while after disconnection of the electrical supply.
• Keep the drive in its package or protect it otherwise from dust and burr from
drilling and grinding until you install it.
• Protect also the installed drive against dust and burr. Electrically conductive
debris inside the drive may cause damage or malfunction.
• Vacuum clean the area below the drive before the start-up to prevent the drive
cooling fan from drawing the dust inside the drive.
• Do not cover the air inlet and outlet when the drive runs.
• Make sure that there is sufficient cooling. See sections Checking the installation
site on page 54 and Losses, cooling data and noise on page 283 for more
information.
• Before you connect voltage to the drive, make sure that the drive covers are on.
Keep the covers on during the operation.
• Before you adjust the drive operation limits, make sure that the motor and all
driven equipment can operate throughout the set operation limits.
Safety instructions 17
• Before you activate the automatic fault reset or automatic restart functions of the
drive control program, make sure that no dangerous situations can occur. These
functions reset the drive automatically and continue operation after a fault or
supply break. If these functions are activated, the installation must be clearly
marked as defined in IEC/EN 61800-5-1, subclause 6.5.3, for example, “THIS
MACHINE STARTS AUTOMATICALLY”.
• If you have connected safety circuits to the drive (for example, emergency stop
and Safe torque off), validate them at the start up. For the validation of the Safe
torque off, see ACS580 standard control program firmware manual
(3AXD50000016097 [English]). For the validation of other safety circuits, see the
instructions provided with them.
Note:
• If you select an external source for start command and it is on, and the start
command is level-triggered, the drive will start immediately after fault reset. See
parameters 20.02 Ext1 start trigger type and 20.07 Ext2 start trigger type in
ACS580 standard control program firmware manual (3AXD50000016097
[English]).
• When the control location is not set to Local (text Local is not shown on the top
row of the panel and parameter 19.17 Local control disable has value Disabled),

•North America:
varistor circuit can be damaged.
• Use all ELV (extra low voltage) circuits connected to the drive only within a zone
of equipotential bonding, that is, within a zone where all simultaneously
accessible conductive parts are electrically connected to prevent hazardous
voltages appearing between them. You can accomplish this by a proper factory
grounding, that is, make sure that all simultaneously accessible conductive parts
are grounded to the protective earth (PE) bus of the building.
• Do not do insulation or voltage withstand tests on the drive or drive modules.

Note:
• The motor cable terminals of the drive are at a dangerous voltage when the input
power is on, regardless of whether the motor is running or not.
• The DC and brake resistor terminals (UDC+, UDC-, R+ and R-) are at a
dangerous voltage.
• External wiring can supply dangerous voltages to the terminals of relay outputs
(RO1, RO2 and RO3).
• The Safe torque off function does not remove the voltage from the main and
auxiliary circuits. The function is not effective against deliberate sabotage or
misuse.
WARNING! Use a grounding wrist band when you handle the printed circuit
boards. Do not touch the boards unnecessarily. The boards contain
components sensitive to electrostatic discharge.
Grounding
These instructions are for all personnel who are responsible for the electrical
installation, including the grounding of the drive.
WAR NING! Obey these instructions. If you ignore them, injury or death, or
equipment malfunction can occur, and electromagnetic interference can
increase.
• If you are not a qualified electrical professional, do not do grounding work.
• Always ground the drive, the motor and adjoining equipment to the protective
earth (PE) bus of the power supply. This is necessary for the personnel safety.
Proper grounding also reduces electromagnetic emission and interference.
• In a multiple-drive installation, connect each drive separately to the protective
earth (PE) bus of the power supply.
• Make sure that the conductivity of the protective earth (PE) conductors is
sufficient. See section Selecting the power cables on page 91. Obey the local
regulations.
• Connect the power cable shields to the protective earth (PE) terminals of the
drive.
• Make a 360° grounding of the power and control cable shields at the cable entries
to suppress electromagnetic disturbances.
Safety instructions 21
Note:
• You can use power cable shields as grounding conductors only when their
conductivity is sufficient.
• Standards IEC/EN 61800-5-1 (section 4.3.5.5.2.) and UL 68100-5-1 require that
as the normal touch current of the drive is higher than 3.5 mA AC or 10 mA DC,
you must use a fixed protective earth (PE) connection. In addition,
•install a second protective earth conductor of the same cross-sectional area
as the original protective earthing conductor,

Additional instructions for permanent magnet motor drives
Safety in installation, start-up and maintenance
These are additional warnings concerning permanent magnet motor drives. The other
safety instructions in this chapter are also valid.
WAR NING! Obey these instructions. If you ignore them, injury or death and
damage to the equipment can occur.
• Do not work on a drive when a rotating permanent magnet motor is connected to
it. A rotating permanent magnet motor energizes the drive including its input
power terminals.
Before installation, start-up and maintenance work on the drive:
• Stop the motor.
• Disconnect the motor from the drive with a safety switch or by other means.
• If you cannot disconnect the motor, make sure that the motor cannot rotate during
work. Make sure that no other system, like hydraulic crawling drives, can rotate
the motor directly or through any mechanical connection like felt, nip, rope, etc.
• Measure that the installation is de-energized.
•Use a multimeter with an impedance of at least 1 Mohm.
•Make sure that the voltage between the drive output terminals (T1/U, T2/V,
T3/W) and the grounding (PE) busbar is close to 0 V.
•Make sure that the voltage between the drive input power terminals (L1, L2,
L3) and the grounding (PE) busbar is close to 0 V.
•Make sure that the voltage between the drive DC terminals (UDC+, UDC-) and
the grounding (PE) terminal is close to 0 V.
• Install temporary grounding to the drive output terminals (T1/U, T2/V, T3/W).
Connect the output terminals together as well as to the PE.
Start-up and operation:
• Make sure that the motor cannot be run into overspeed, e.g. driven by the load.
Motor overspeed causes overvoltage that can damage or destroy the capacitors
in the intermediate circuit of the drive.
Safety instructions 23
General safety in operation
These instructions are for all personnel that operate the drive.
WARNING! Obey these instructions. If you ignore them, injury or death, or
damage to the equipment can occur.
• Do not power up the drive more than five times in ten minutes. Too frequent
power-ups can damage the charging circuit of the DC capacitors. If you need to
start or stop the drive, use the control panel start and stop keys or commands
through the I/O terminals of the drive.
• Give a stop command to the drive before you reset a fault. If you have an external
source for the start command and the start is on, the drive will start immediately
after the fault reset, unless you configure the drive for pulse start. See the
firmware manual.
• Before you activate automatic fault reset functions of the drive control program,
make sure that no dangerous situations can occur. These functions reset the
drive automatically and continue operation after a fault.
Note: When the control location is not set to Local, the stop key on the control panel
will not stop the drive.
