1.7.1.3 Machinery Directive

The aim of the machinery directive is to ensure personal
safety and avoid property damage for mechanical
equipment used in its intended application. The machinery
directive applies to a machine consisting of an aggregate
of interconnected components or devices of which at least
one is capable of mechanical movement.
Adjustable frequency drives with an integrated safety
function must comply with the machinery directive.
Adjustable frequency drives without the safety function do
not fall under the machinery directive. If an adjustable
frequency drive is integrated into a machinery system,
Danfoss can provide information on safety aspects relating
to the adjustable frequency drive.
When adjustable frequency drives are used in machines
with at least one moving part, the machine manufacturer
must provide a declaration stating compliance with all
relevant statutes and safety measures.

1.7.1.4 ErP Directive

The ErP directive is the European Ecodesign Directive for
energy-related products. The directive sets eco design
requirements for energy-related products, including
adjustable frequency drives. The aim of the directive is to
increase energy efficiency and the level of protection of
the environment, while increasing the security of the
energy supply. Environmental impact of energy-related
products includes energy consumption throughout the
entire product life cycle.

1.7.2 C-Tick Compliance

Figure 1.2 C-Tick
The C-Tick label indicates compliance with the applicable
technical standards for Electromagnetic Compatibility
(EMC). C-Tick compliance is required for placing electrical
and electronic devices on the market in Australia and New
Zealand.
The C-Tick regulatory is about conducted and radiated
emission. For adjustable frequency drives, apply the
emission limits specified in EN/IEC 61800-3.
A declaration of conformity can be provided on request.

NOTICE!
525–690 V adjustable frequency drives are not certified
for UL.
The adjustable frequency drive complies with UL508C
thermal memory retention requirements. For more
information, refer to chapter 2.6.2 Motor Thermal Protection.

1.7.4 Marine Compliance

1.8 Safety

1.8.1 General Safety Principles

If handled improperly, adjustable frequency drives contain
high-voltage components and have the potential for fatal
injury. Only qualified personnel should install and operate
the equipment. Do not attempt repair work without first
removing power from the adjustable frequency drive and
waiting the designated amount of time for stored electrical
energy to dissipate.
Strict adherence to safety precautions and notices is
mandatory for safe operation of the adjustable frequency
drive.
1.8.2 Qualified Personnel
Correct and reliable transport, storage, installation,
operation, and maintenance are required for the trouble-
free and safe operation of the adjustable frequency drive.
Only qualified personnel are allowed to install or operate
this equipment.
Qualified personnel are defined as trained staff, who are
authorized to install, commission, and maintain equipment,
systems, and circuits in accordance with pertinent laws and
regulations. Additionally, the qualified personnel must be
familiar with the instructions and safety measures
described in this instruction manual.
