IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION WARNING ONLY A QUALIFIED ELECTRICIAN CAN CARRY OUT THE ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION OF THIS FILTER WARNING High voltage is used in the operation of this filter. Use Extreme caution to avoid contact with high voltage when operating, installing or repairing this filter. INJURY, DEATH AND/OR PROPERTY DAMAGE MAY RESULT IF SAFETY PRECAUTIONS ARE NOT OBSERVED. After removing power, allow at least five minutes to elapse and verify that the capacitors have discharged to a safe level before contacting internal components. Connect a DC voltmeter across the capacitor terminals or terminals 1, 2 and 3 on terminal block 1TB. Start with the meter on the highest scale and progressively switch to a lower scale as the indicated voltage falls below the maximum value of the scale used. WARNING THE OPENING OF THE BRANCH CIRCUIT PROTECTIVE DEVICE MAY BE AN INDICATION THAT A FAULT CURRENT HAS BEEN INTERRUPTED. TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE OR ELECTRICAL SHOCK, CURRENT-CARRYING PARTS AND OTHER COMPONENTS OF THE FILTER SHOULD BE EXAMINED AND REPLACED IF DAMAGED. WARNING AN UPSTREAM DISCONNECT/PROTECTION DEVICE MUST BE USED AS REQUIRED BY THE NATIONAL ELECTRICAL CODE (NEC). WARNING EVEN IF THE UPSTREAM DISCONNECT/ PROTECTION DEVICE IS OPEN, THE DRIVE DOWN STREAM OF THE FILTER MAY FEED BACK HIGH VOLTAGE TO THE FILTER. THE DRIVE SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS MUST BE FOLLOWED. INJURY, DEATH AND/OR PROPERTY DAMAGE MAY RESULT IF THE DRIVE SAFETY PRECAUTIONS ARE NOT OBSERVED.
