Safety and operating instructions for drive converters

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 commissioning 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 89/392/EEC
(Machinery Safety Directive - MSD). Account is to be taken of EN 60204.
Commissioning (i.e. the starting of normal opertion) is admissible only where conformity with the EMC directive
(89/336/EEC) has been established.
The drive converters meet the requirements of the low-voltage directive 73/23/EEC. They are subject to the
harmonized standards of the series prEN 50178/DIN VDE 0160 in conjunction with EN 60439-1/ VDE 0660,
part 500, and EN 60146/ VDE 0558.
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 prEN 50178.
4. Installation
The installation and cooling of the appliances shall be in accordance with the specifications in the pertinent
documentation.
The drive converters shall be protected against excessive strains. In particular, no components must be bent
or isolating distances altered in the course of transportation or handling. No contact shall be made with
electronic components and contacts.
Drive converters contain electrostatic sensitive components which are liable to damage through improper use.
Electric components must not be mechanically damaged or destroyed (potential health risks).
