Safety instructions
Handle the fibre optic cables with care. When you unplug the cables, always
hold the connector, not the cable itself. Do not touch the ends of the fibers with
bare hands as the ends are extremely sensitive to dirt. Do not bend the fiber
optic cables too tightly. The minimum allowed bend radius is 35 mm (1.4 in).
Before adjusting the converter and putting it into service, ensure that the
generator and all adjoining equipment are suitable for operation throughout the
speed range provided by the converter.
Do not operate breakers, contactors, switches or other equipment inside the
cabinet when the power is applied. Electric shock may occur also in case of
faulty component.
Do not stand behind the converter when the power is applied. In the event of
possible arc inside the cabinet the arc fumes and pressure exit through the
backside filter.
Keep the converter doors locked when the converter is in operation.
When the control location is not set to Local (L not shown in the status row of
the display), the stop key on the control panel will not stop the converter. To
stop the converter using the control panel, press the LOC/REM key and then
the stop key .
