| | | Most Bodine products are "third party approved" with respect to construction. Type-FPM chassis controls "recognized by U.L., Inc."are designated by having a "W symbol in the upper right corner of their nameplates. In addition, most products are CSA certified, identified by a symbol. If you need specific information regarding the "third party approval" status of Bodine products, contact the nearest Bodine representative, or the home office. However, since even well-built apparatus can be installed or operated in a hazardous manner, it is important that safety considerations be observed by the user. With respect to the load and environment, the user must properly select, install, and use the apparatus—for guidance on all three aspects see safety standards publication No. ANSI C5.1/NEMA MG-2 (footnoted on page 6). | | |
| | | WARNING The chance of explosions, fires, or electric shocks can be reduced through thermal and over-current protection, good maintenance, and proper grounding and enclosure selection. The following safety considerations are not intended to be all-inclusive, and the references mentioned elsewhere in this manual should be consulted. | | |
| | | GROUNDING Both electronic controls and motors must be securely mounted and adequately grounded. Failure to ground properly may cause serious injury to personnel. FUSING Both the control input and output are fused. If fuses must be replaced, they must always conform to the values and ratings specified on the control's nameplate. LIVE CIRCUITRY Open-type electronics should be properly guarded or enclosed to prevent accidental human contact with live circuitry. No work should be performed on or close to the control or motor (including brush examination or replacement) while the control is connected to the AC line. If an AC line switch is used, it should be a Double Pole Single Throw (DPST), so that both sides of the AC line can be disconnected. | | |
