Product Warnings
Observe all relevant state, regional and local safety regulations when installing and using
Copley Controls amplifiers. For safety and to assure compliance with documented system
data, only Copley Controls should perform repairs to amplifiers.
!
DANGER
Hazardous voltages.
Exercise caution when installing and adjusting Copley amplifiers.
Risk of electric shock.
On some Copley Controls amplifiers, high-voltage circuits are connected to mains
power. Refer to hardware documentation.
Risk of unexpected motion with non-latched faults.
After the cause of a non-latched fault is corrected, the amplifier re-enables the PWM
output stage without operator intervention. In this case, motion may re-start
unexpectedly. Configure faults as latched unless a specific situation calls for non-
latched behavior. When using non-latched faults, be sure to safeguard against
unexpected motion.
Latching an output does not eliminate the risk of unexpected motion with non-
latched faults.
Associating a fault with a latched, custom-configured output does not latch the fault
itself. After the cause of a non-latched fault is corrected, the amplifier re-enables
without operator intervention. In this case, motion may re-start unexpectedly.
For more information, see Faults (p. 87).
When operating the amplifier as a CAN or EtherCAT node, the use of CME 2 or
ASCII serial commands may affect operations in progress. Using such commands to
initiate motion may cause network operations to suspend.
Operation may restart unexpectedly when the commanded motion is stopped.
Use equipment as described.
Operate amplifiers within the specifications provided in the relevant hardware manual
or data sheet.
FAILURE TO HEED THESE WARNINGS CAN CAUSE EQUIPMENT DAMAGE,
INJURY, OR DEATH.
