DANGER!
Improper wiring 
can and will cause 
bodily harm as 
well as damage to 
the equipment.
Please read this 
cheat sheet and 
the Z1000 User 
Manual
 (TOEP 
C710616 45)

DANGER; 
LETHAL VOLTAGES ARE PRESENT- Before 
applying power to the Z1000, ensure that the terminal cover 
is fa
stened and all wiring connections are secure. After the 
power has been turned OFF, wait at
 least five minutes until 
the charge indicator extinguishes completely
 before touching 
any wiring, circuit boards or components.

To make sure you received the correct model, it is essential to 
verify the Z1000 nameplate with your 
order and make sure the 
Z1000 has the correct rating so it can be used with your motor.

Z1000 Model 
The following 
procedure is a 
supplement to 
other 
documentation 
supplied with this 
equipment and 
will guide the user 
in properly wiring 
the Z1000 and 
motor. It will also 
show the user 
how to configure 
the Z1000 for a 
Hand and Auto 
operation.
· Check that the available power will meet the 
requirements. 
· Ensure that the 
compatible with the motor requirements.
· In the case of systems with more than one Z1000, follow 
When installing 
the system be 
sure to follow 
good wiring 
practices and all 
applicable codes. 
Ensure that the 
mounting of the 
various 
components are 
secure and that 
the environment, 
such as extreme 
dampness, poor 
ventilation etc. will 
not cause system 
The mounting of the Z1000 is extremely important regarding 
environment and accessibility. Depending on your system, 
there are various models available and the mounting 
dimensions (footprint) may be different. Because the 
mounting procedure is fairly extensive, it is beyond the scope 
of this document; the user is referred to the Z1000 User 
Manual (Document No. TOEP C710616 45) received with the 
Z1000, 
that you received and follow the procedure described in the 
manual to ensure a safe and functional installation. In cases 
where the system has more than one Z1000, refer to the 
proper clearances required for adequate ventilation. 
pay particular attention to: 
· The clearances to be maintained around the enclosure 
for adequate ventilation.
· The environmental specifications such as avoiding 
excessive dampness, extreme temperatures, chemical 
exposure, corrosive areas, etc. to avoid damage to the 
equipment and to maintain safety. 
Improper removal of the Z1000 terminal cover as well as 
front cover can cause extensive damage to the Z1000. To 
avoid damage to these items, please pay particular attention 
to the Z1000 User Manual, Document No. TOEP C710616
