General safety in installation, start-up and maintenance
These instructions are for all personnel that install the drive and do maintenance work on
it.
WARNING! Obey these instructions. If you ignore
them, injury or death, or damage to the equipment
can occur.
•Secure the cabinet to the floor (see chapter
Mechanical installation) to prevent it from toppling over
when you pull out the module. The drive module is
heavy and has a high center of gravity.
•Wear protective gloves and long sleeves. Some parts
have sharp edges.
•Handle the drive module carefully:
•Use safety shoes with a metal toe cap to avoid foot injury.
•For frames R10 and R11:
•Lift the module with a lifting device only. Use the designated lifting points.
•Make sure that the module does not topple over when you move it on the floor:
Extend the support legs by pressing each leg a little down (1, 2) and turning it
aside. Whenever possible secure the module also with chains.
•Do not tilt the drive module (A). It is heavy and its center of gravity is high. The
module overturns from a sideways tilt of 5 degrees. Do not leave the module
unattended on a sloping floor.
Safety instructions 15
•Do not use the module installation ramp with plinth heights which exceed the
maximum height (50 mm [1.97 in]) marked on the ramp.
•Secure the module installation ramp carefully.
•To prevent the drive module from falling, attach its top lifting lugs with chains to the
cabinet lifting lug before you push the module into the cabinet and pull it from the
cabinet. Work carefully preferably with help from another person as shown below.
Keep a constant pressure with one foot on the base of the module to prevent the
module from falling on its back.
•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 can 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.
•Make sure that there is sufficient cooling. See section Examining the installation site
on page 55.
•Before you connect voltage to the drive, make sure that the cabinet doors are closed.
Keep the doors closed 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.
•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.
•The maximum number of drive power-ups is five in ten minutes. Too frequent power-
ups can damage the charging circuit of the DC capacitors.
•Make sure that any safety circuits (for example, emergency stop and Safe torque off)
are validated in start-up. For the Safe torque off, see chapter Safe torque off function
on page 229. For other safety functions, see their separate instructions.
16 Safety instructions
Note:
•If you select an external source for start command and it is on, the drive will start
immediately after fault reset unless you configure the drive for pulse start. See the
firmware manual.
•When the control location is not set to Local, the stop key on the control panel will not
stop the drive.
•Only authorized persons are allowed to repair a malfunctioning drive.
Electrical safety in installation, start-up and maintenance
Precautions before electrical work
These warnings are for all personnel who do work on the drive, motor cable or motor.
WARNING! Obey these instructions. If you ignore them, injury or death, or
damage to the equipment can occur. If you are not a qualified electrician, do not
do installation or maintenance work. Go through these steps before you begin any
installation or maintenance work.
1.Clearly identify the work location.
2.Disconnect all possible voltage sources.
•Open the main switch-disconnector (Q1) of the drive.
•Open the disconnector of the supply transformer as the main switch-disconnector
(Q1) of the drive does not remove the voltage from the input busbars of the drive.
•Make sure that reconnection is not possible. Lock the disconnectors to open
position and attach a warning notice to them.
•Disconnect any external power sources from the control circuits before you do
work on the control cables.
•After you disconnect the drive, always wait 5 minutes to let the intermediate circuit
capacitors discharge before you continue.
3.Protect any other energized parts in the work location against contact.
4.Take special precautions when close to bare conductors.
5.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 input power terminals (L1, L2, L3)
and the grounding (PE) busbar is close to 0 V.
•Make sure that the voltage between the drive module UDC+ and UDC- terminals
and the grounding (PE) busbar is close to 0 V.
6.Install temporary grounding as required by the local regulations.
7.Ask for a permit to work from the person in control of the electrical installation work.
Safety instructions 17
Additional instructions and notes
WARNING! Obey these instructions. If you ignore them, injury or death, or
damage to the equipment can occur.
•If you are not a qualified electrician, do not do installation or maintenance work.
•Do not install a drive with EMC filter option +E200 or +E202 on an ungrounded power
system or a high resistance-grounded (over 30 ohms) power system.
•Do not connect the drive to a voltage higher than what is on the type designation label.
If you do, the brake chopper starts to operate which causes the overheating of the
brake resistor (if present). Overvoltage can also cause the motor to rush to its
maximum speed.
•We do not recommend that you secure the cabinet by arc welding. If you have to, obey
the instructions in section Arc welding on page 69.
•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 bus 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
(XRO1, XRO2 and XRO3).
•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.
WARNING! Obey these instructions. If you ignore them, equipment malfunction
and damage to the fiber optic cables can occur.
•Handle the fiber optic cables with care.
•When you unplug the cables, always hold the connector, not the cable itself.
•Do not touch the ends of the fibers with bare hands as the ends are extremely
sensitive to dirt.
•Do not bend the fiber optic cables too tightly. The minimum allowed bend radius is
35 mm (1.4 in).
18 Safety instructions
Grounding
These instructions are for all personnel who are responsible for the grounding of the drive.
WARNING! Obey these instructions. If you ignore them, injury or death and
equipment malfunction can occur, and electromagnetic interference can increase.
•If you are not a qualified electrician, do not do grounding work.
•Always ground the drive, the motor and adjoining equipment. This is necessary for the
personnel safety. Proper grounding also reduces electromagnetic emission and
interference.
•Make sure that the conductivity of the grounding conductors is sufficient. See section
Selecting the power cables on page 78. Obey the local regulations.
•Connect the power cable shields to protective earth (PE) of the drive to make sure of
personnel safety.
•Make a 360° grounding of the power and control cable shields at the cable entries to
suppress electromagnetic disturbances.
•In a multiple-drive installation, connect each drive separately to the protective earth
(PE) busbar of the switch board or the transformer.
Note:
•You can use power cable shields as grounding conductors only when their conductivity
is sufficient.
•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 connection. See standard EN 61800-5-1, 4.3.5.5.2.

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.
WARNING! Obey these instructions. If you ignore them, injury or death and
equipment malfunction can occur.
•Do not do work on the drive when the permanent magnet motor is rotating. 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 (U2, V2, W2) 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 module UDC+ and UDC- terminals
and the grounding (PE) busbar is close to 0 V.
•Install temporary grounding to the drive output terminals (U2, V2, W2). Connect the
output terminals together as well as to the PE.
•Make sure that the operator cannot run the motor over the rated speed. Motor
overspeed causes overvoltage can damage or explode the capacitors in the
intermediate circuit of the drive.
