The variable speed drive is deployed in the commercial/industrial sector. The
operator of the device is therefore subject to the statutory obligations for
occupational health and safety.
In addition to complying with the safety instructions contained in this document, the
operator must also conform to the safety, accident prevention and environmental
protection regulations applicable at the site of installation of the device. The
following conditions in particular apply:
● The operator must become fully acquainted with the relevant occupational
safety regulations and carry out a risk assessment to determine additional
hazards which may arise as a result of the specific working conditions at the
site of installation.
● When assessing the machine's risk in accordance with the respective local
regulations (e.g., EC Machinery Directive), the operator (or machine
manufacturer) must take into account the following residual risks emanating
from the control and drive components of a drive system.
● The operator (or machine manufacturer) must install additional safety
equipment so as to ensure safe operation of the device and the connected
machine.
● The operator must ensure that the area in which the device is installed and
operates is safe. This means that appropriate safety precautions must be taken
and that notices warning of potential hazards must be clearly displayed. It is
particularly important to warn of the potential hazards arising from
electromagnetic fields, and to prohibit the use of mobile telephones.
A description is given below of the residual risks potentially posed by variable
speed drives even when they are used for their intended purpose.
Please observe the safety information provided below and safety guidance
contained in other sections of these Operating Instructions in order to reduce the
risk to personnel and property and prevent potentially hazardous situations.
