Spec Tech Industrial 203 Vest Ave. Valley Park, MO 63088 Phone: 888 SPECTECH Email: sales@spectechind.com i i Safety Messages For the best results with the X200 Series inverter, carefully read this manual and all ofthe warning labels attached to the inverter before installing and operating it, andfollow the instructions exactly. Keep this manual handy for quick reference. Definitions and Symbols A safety instruction (message) includes a “Safety Alert Symbol” and a signal word orphrase such as WARNING or CAUTION. Each signal word has the following meaning: HIGH VOLTAGE: This symbol indicates high voltage. It calls your attention to items oroperations that could be dangerous to you and other persons operating this equipment. Read the message and follow the instructions carefully. WARNING: indicates a potentially hazardous situation that, if not avoided, can resultin serious injury or death. CAUTION: Indicates a potentially hazardous situation that, if not avoided, can resultin minor to moderate injury or serious damage to the product. The situation describedin the CAUTION may, if not avoided, lead to serious results. Important safety measuresare described in CAUTION (as well as WARNING), so be sure to observe them. Step 1: Indicates a step in a series of action steps required to accomplish a goal. Thenumber of the step will be contained in the step symbol. NOTE: Notes indicates an area or subject of special merit, emphasizing either theproduct’s capability or common errors in operation or maintenance. TIP: Tips give a special instruction that can save time or provide other benefits whileinstalling or using the product. The tip calls attention to an idea that may not beobvious to first-time users of the product. Hazardous High Voltage HIGH VOLTAGE: Motor control equipment and electronic controllers are connected tohazardous line voltages. When servicing drives and electronic controllers, there may beexposed components with housing or protrusions at or above line potential. Extremecare should be taken to protect against shock. Stand on an insulating pad and make it a habit to use only one hand when checkingcomponents. Always work with another person in case an emergency occurs. Disconnectpower before checking controllers or performing maintenance. Be sure equipment isproperly grounded. Wear safety glasses whenever working on electronic controllers orrotating machinery. ii ii General Precautions – Read These First! WARNING: This equipment should be installed, adjusted, and serviced by qualifiedelectrical maintenance personnel familiar with the construction and operation of theequipment and the hazards involved. Failure to observe this precaution could result inbodily injury. WARNING: The user is responsible for ensuring that all driven machinery, drive trainmechanism not supplied by Hitachi Industrial Equipment Systems Co., Ltd., andprocess line material are capable of safe operation at an applied frequency of 150% ofthe maximum selected frequency range to the AC motor. Failure to do so can result indestruction of equipment and injury to personnel should a single-point failure occur. WARNING: For equipment protection, install a ground leakage type breaker with a fastresponse circuit capable of handling large currents. The ground fault protection circuitis not designed to protect against personal injury. WARNING: HAZARDOUS OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK. DISCONNECT INCOMING POWER BEFORE WORKING ON THIS CONTROL. WARNING: Wait at least five (5) minutes after turning OFF the input power supplybefore performing maintenance or an inspection. Otherwise, there is the danger ofelectric shock. CAUTION: These instructions should be read and clearly understood before working onX200 series equipment. CAUTION: Proper grounds, disconnecting devices and other safety devices and theirlocation are the responsibility of the user and are not provided by Hitachi IndustrialEquipment Systems Co., Ltd. CAUTION: Be sure to connect a motor thermal disconnect switch or overload device to the X200 series controller to assure that the inverter will shut down in the event of an overload or an overheated motor. HIGH VOLTAGE: Dangerous voltage exists until power light is OFF. Wait at least five (5) minutes after input power is disconnected before performing maintenance. WARNING: This equipment has high leakage current and must be permanently (fixed) hard-wire to earth ground via two independent cables. iii iii WARNING: Rotating shafts and above-ground electrical potentials can be hazardous. Therefore, it is strongly recommended that all electrical work conform to the NationalElectrical Codes and local regulations. Installation, alignment and maintenance shouldbe performed only by qualified personnel. CAUTION: a) Class I motor must be connected to earth ground via low resistive path (<0.1..) b) Any motor used must be of a suitable rating. c) Motors may have hazardous moving path. In this event suitable protection must beprovided. CAUTI...
