Grounding
These instructions are intended for all who are responsible for the grounding of the
drive. Incorrect grounding can cause physical injury, death or equipment malfunction
and increase electromagnetic interference.

Fiber Optic Cables
WARNING! Handle the fibre optic cables with care. When unplugging optic cables,
always grab the connector, not the cable itself. Do not touch the ends of the fibres
with bare hands as the fibre is extremely sensitive to dirt. The minimum allowed
bend radius is 35 mm (1.4 in.).
Safety Instructions
Ground the drive, the motor and adjoining equipment to ensure personnel
safety in all circumstances, and to reduce electromagnetic emission and pick-
up.
Make sure that grounding conductors are adequately sized as required by
safety regulations.
In a multiple-drive installation, connect each drive separately to protective
earth (PE).
Do not install a drive with EMC filter option +E202 on an ungrounded power
system or a high resistance-grounded (over 30 ohms) power system.
Power cable shields are suitable for equipment grounding conductors only
when adequately sized to meet safety regulations.
As the normal leakage current of the drive is higher than 3.5 mA AC or 10 mA
DC (stated by EN 50178, 5.2.11.1), a fixed protective earth connection is
required.
