ii Chapter 1: Safety Information
In order to achieve the optimum, safe operation of the Canary servo amplifier, it is
imperative that you implement the safety procedures included in this user guide. This
information is provided to protect you and to keep your work area safe when operating
the Canary and accompanying equipment. Read this chapter carefully before you begin
the installation process.
Ensure that all system components are connected to earth ground. Electrical safety is
provided through a low-resistance earth connection.
Only qualified personnel may install, adjust, maintain and repair the servo amplifier. A
qualified person has the knowledge and authorization to perform tasks such as
transporting, assembling, installing, commissioning and operating motors.
The Canary servo amplifier contains electrostatic-sensitive components that can be
damaged if handled incorrectly. To prevent any electrostatic damage, avoid contact with
highly insulating materials, such as plastic film and synthetic fabrics. Place the product
on a conductive surface and ground yourself in order to discharge any possible static
electricity build-up.
To avoid any pote
