Failure to adhere to the correction installation instructions can yield potentially harmful complications, such as power surges and overcurrents.

Additionally, a facility also needs to ensure their existing drive is compatible with this PCB Gate Drive Board before proceeding with the installation. Installing this board in an incompatible device can also lead to further complications that may not only be harmful to the workers within the facility but may also lead to a loss of production time. Post-installation programming should be initiated through the use of the programming interface integrated into the drive where the 74101-482-53 is installed. This is especially essential if this board is installed in the device in order to provide additional features, such as an improved compatibility with external motors.
