WARNING
1. Internal components and printed circuit boards are at main potential when the RVS-DX is
connected to main power. This voltage is extremely dangerous, and may cause death or severe
injury if contacted.
2. The control PCB employs CMOS ICs that are easily damaged by static electricity. Use proper
electrostatic discharge (ESD) procedures when handling the control PCB.
3. When the RVS-DX is connected to main power, even if control power is not connected and the
motor is stopped, full voltage may appear on the RVS-DX’s output terminals.
4. RVS-DX must be grounded to ensure correct operation, safety, and to prevent damage.
5. Power factor capacitors must NOT be connected to the output side of the RVS-DX.
