In addition to the precautions listed throughout this manual, please read and understand the following
statements regarding hazards associated with development systems.

Table 1

Safety precautions

Precautions

Caution: The ground potential of the EVAL-M1-IM818-A board is biased to a negative
DC bus voltage potential. When measuring voltage waveform by oscilloscope, the
scope’s ground needs to be isolated. Failure to do so may result in personal injury or
death, and equipment damage. Darkened display LEDs are not an indication that
capacitors have discharged to safe voltage levels.

Caution: EVAL-M1-IM818-A system contains DC bus capacitors which take time to
discharge after removal of the main supply. Before working on the drive system,
wait three minutes for capacitors to discharge to safe voltage levels. Failure to do so
may result in personal injury or death. Darkened display LEDs are not an indication
that capacitors have discharged to safe voltage levels.

Caution: Only personnel familiar with the drive and associated machinery should
plan or implement the installation, start-up and subsequent maintenance of the
system. Failure to comply may result in personal injury and/or equipment damage.

Caution: The surfaces of the drive may become hot, which may cause injury.

Caution: The EVAL-M1-IM818-A board contains parts and assemblies sensitive to
electrostatic discharge (ESD). Electrostatic control precautions are required when
installing, testing, servicing or repairing this assembly. Component damage may
result if ESD control procedures are not followed. If you are not familiar with
electrostatic control procedures, refer to applicable ESD protection handbooks and
guidelines.

Caution: An incorrectly applied or installed drive can result in component damage
or reduction in product lifetime. Wiring or application errors such as undersized
motor, incorrect or inadequate DC supply, or excessive ambient temperatures may
result in system malfunction.

Caution: Remove or connect the control board from or to the power drive. Wait three
minutes after removing power from the power drive to discharge the bus capacitors.
Do not attempt to service the drive until the bus capacitors have discharged to zero.
Failure to do so may result in personal injury or death.

Caution: The EVAL-M1-IM818-A board is shipped with packing materials that need to
be removed prior to installation. Failure to remove all packing materials which are
unnecessary for system installation may result in overheating or abnormal
operating condition.
