General Precautions
In addition to the precautions listed throughout this manual, the following statements, which are general to the system,
must be read and understood.
Precautions for Bulletin 294E Applications
ATTENTION: This manual is intended for qualified service personnel responsible for setting up and servicing these devices. The
user must have previous experience with and a basic understanding of electrical terminology, configuration procedures,
required equipment, and safety precautions.
WARNING: The National Electrical Code (NEC), NFPA79, and any other governing regional or local code will overrule the
information in this manual. Rockwell Automation cannot assume responsibility for the compliance or proper installation of the
ArmorStart LT or associated equipment. A hazard of personal injury and/or equipment damage exists if codes are ignored
during installation.
ATTENTION: The controller contains ESD (electrostatic discharge) sensitive parts and assemblies. Static control precautions are
required when installing, testing, servicing, or repairing the assembly. Component damage may result if ESD control
procedures are not followed. If you are not familiar with static control procedures, refer to Publication 8000-4.5.2, Guarding
against Electrostatic Discharge, or any other applicable ESD protection handbooks.
ATTENTION: Only personnel familiar with the controller and associated machinery should plan or implement the installation,
startup, and subsequent maintenance of the system. Failure to do this may result in personal injury and/or equipment
damage.
ATTENTION: Only qualified personnel familiar with adjustable frequency AC drives and associated machinery should plan or
implement the installation, startup, and subsequent maintenance of the system. Failure to do this may result in personal injury
and/or equipment damage.
