2.1 Safety Precautions

In addition to the precautions listed throughout this manual, you must read and understand the following statements

regarding hazards associated with AC servo development system.

ATTENTION: Some ground potential of the IRMCS2013 system may be kept high voltage

potential while power is on. When measuring voltage waveform by oscilloscope, the scope

ground needs to be isolated. Failure to do so may result in personal injury or death.

Darkened display LED is not an indication that capacitors have discharged to safe voltage

levels.

ATTENTION: The IRMCS2013 system contains high voltage capacitors which take time to

discharge after removal of main supply. Before working on drive system, ensure isolation of

mains supply from line inputs. Wait three minutes for capacitors to discharge to safe voltage

levels. Failure to do so may result in personal injury or death.

Darkened display LED is not an indication that capacitors have discharged to safe voltage

levels.

ATTENTION: 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.

ATTENTION: The surface temperatures of the drive may become hot, which may cause

injury.
