Safety and Operating Instructions

1. General
In operation, drive converters, depending on their degree
of protection, may have live, uninsulated, and possibly
also moving or rotating parts, as well as hot surfaces.
In case of inadmissible removal of the required covers,
of improper use, wrong installation or maloperation, there
is the danger of serious personal injury and damage to
property.
For further information, see documentation.
All operations serving transport, installation and commis-
sioning as well as maintenance are to be carried out by
skilled technical personnel (Observe IEC 364 or CENELEC
HD 384 or DIN VDE 0100 and IEC 664 or DIN/VDE 0110
and national accident prevention rules!).
For the purposes of these basic safety instructions, „skilled
technical personnel" means persons who are familiar with
the installation, mounting, commissioning and operation
of the product and have the qualifications needed for the
performance of their functions.
2. Intended use
Drive converters are components designed for inclusion in
electrical installations or machinery.
In case of installation in machinery, commissioning of the
drive converter (i.e. the starting of normal operation) is
prohibited until the machinery has been proved to conform
to the provisions of the directive 2006/42/EC (Machine-
ry Safety Directive - MSD). Account is to be taken of EN
60204.
The drive converters meet the requirements of the Low-
Voltage Directive 2006/95/EC. They are subject to the har-
monized standards of the series EN 61800-5-1..
The technical data as well as information concerning the
supply conditions shall be taken from the rating plate and
from the documentation and shall be strictly observed.
3. Transport, storage
The instructions for transport, storage and proper use shall
be complied with.
The climatic conditions shall be in conformity with EN
61800-5-1 .
4 Installation
The installation and cooling of the appliances shall be in
accordance with the specifications in the pertinent docu-
mentation.
The drive converters shall be protected against excessive
strains. In particular, no components must be bent or iso-
lating distances altered in the course of transportation or
handling. No contact shall be made with electronic compo-
nents and contacts.
GB - 8
Safety and operating instructions for drive converters
(in conformity with the Low-Voltage Directive 2006/95/EC)
Drive converters contain electrostatic sensitive compo-
nents which are liable to damage through improper use.
Electric components must not be mechanically damaged
or destroyed (potential health risks).
5. Electrical connection
When working on live drive converters, the applicable nati-
onal accident prevention rules (e.g. VBG 4) must be com-
plied with.
The electrical installation shall be carried out in accordance
with the relevant requirements (e.g. cross-sectional areas
of conductors, fusing, PE connection). For further informa-
tion, see documentation.
Instructions for the installation in accordance with EMC
requirements, like screening, earthing, location of filters
and wiring, are contained in the drive converter documen-
tation. They must always be complied with, also for drive
converters bearing a CE marking. Observance of the limit
values required by EMC law is the responsibility of the ma-
nufacturer of the installation or machine.
6. Operation
Installations which include drive converters shall be equip-
ped with additional control and protective devices in ac-
cordance with the relevant applicable safety requirements,
e.g. act respecting technical equipment, accident preven-
tion rules etc.. Changes to the drive converters by means
of the operating software are admissible.
After disconnection of the drive converter from the voltage
supply, live appliance parts and power terminals must not
be touched immediately because of possibly energized
capacitors. In this respect, the corresponding signs and
markings on the drive converter must be respected.
During operation, all covers and doors shall be kept
closed.
7. Service and maintenance
The manufacturer's documentation shall be followed.
