22 Option description and instructions
Competence
The acceptance test of the safety function must be carried out by a competent person with
adequate expertise and knowledge of the safety function as well as functional safety, as
required by IEC 61508-1 clause 6. The test procedures and report must be documented
and signed by this person.
Ambient conditions
For the environmental limits for the safety functions and the drive, refer to the hardware
manual.
ACS880-07 drives, frames R6 to R11
The maximum ambient temperature for the drive with safety relays is 45 °C (113 °F). In the
temperature range +40...45 °C (+104...113 °F), the rated output current must be derated
by 2% for every added 1 °C (1.8 °F). The output current can be calculated by multiplying
the current given in the rating table by the derating factor (k):
