Safety Instructions What this chapter contains This chapter contains the safety instructions you must follow when installing, operating and servicing the drive. If ignored, physical injury or death may follow, or damage may occur to the drive, the motor or driven equipment. Read the safety instructions before you work on the unit.
Installation and maintenance work These warnings are intended for all who work on the drive, motor cable or motor. Ignoring the instructions can cause physical injury or death and/or damage to the equipment. WARNING! • Only qualified electricians are allowed to install and maintain the drive! •...
Grounding These instructions are intended for all who are responsible for the grounding of the drive. Incorrect grounding can cause physical injury, death and/or equipment malfunction and increase electromagnetic interference. WARNING! • Ground the drive, motor and adjoining equipment to ensure personnel safety in all circumstances, and to reduce electromagnetic emission and pick-up.

Wear a grounding wrist band when handling the boards. Do not touch the boards unnecessarily. Use grounding strip: ABB order no.: 3ADV050035P0001 WARNING! Handle the fiber optic cables with care. When unplugging optic cables, always grab the connector, not the cable itself. Do not touch the ends of the fibers with bare hands as the fiber is extremely sensitive to dirt.
Mechanical installation These notes are intended for all who install the drive. Handle the unit carefully to avoid damage and injury. WARNING! • DCS800 sizes D4 ... D7: The drive is heavy. Do not lift it alone. Do not lift the unit by the front cover. Place units D4 and D5 only on its back.
Operation These warnings are intended for all who plan the operation of the drive or operate the drive. Ignoring the instructions can cause physical injury or death and/or damage to the equipment. WARNING! • Before adjusting the drive and putting it into service, make sure that the motor and all driven equipment are suitable for operation throughout the speed range provided by the drive.

The connections L+, L-, F+ and F- at motor and drive are OK. The control connections are OK. If pulse encoder is used, check the encoder cables and correct direction of rotation, see DCS800 Hardware Manual (3ADW000194). PT 100, PTC, Klixon cables: Check that the connections are appropriate for the type of sensor used in the motor.
Preventive Maintenance WARNING! Before performing any maintenance the chapter Safety Instructions the beginning of this manual must be followed. Negligence of these instructions can cause injury or death. Recommended regular maintenance The DCS requires very little maintenance if installed in an appropriate environment.
busbars consist of 10 layers of pre-shaped sheet copper. This construction is able to compensate for small changes in length caused by temperature rise when current is flowing. The screw fixings between heatsink and flexible copper busbar have to withstand different types of mechanical stress. Therefore each fixing needs to be checked for correct torque.
