The "Protection mode" can be disabled by setting par. SP-26 Trip Delay at Drive Fault to zero which means that the drive will trip immediately if one of the hardware

limits is exceeded.

The DC link capacitors remain charged after power has been disconnected. To avoid electrical shock hazard, disconnect the frequency con-

verter from mains before carrying out maintenance. When using a PM-motor, make sure it is disconnected. Before doing service on the

frequency converter wait at least the amount of time indicated below:

Voltage

380 - 480 V

525 - 690 V

2.2.1 Disposal Instruction

This Design Guide can be used for all AF-650 GP frequency converters with software version 1.xx.

The software version number can be seen from par. ID-43 Software Version.

2.4.1 CE Conformity and Labelling

What is CE Conformity and Labelling?

The purpose of CE labelling is to avoid technical trade obstacles within EFTA and the EU. The EU has introduced the CE label as a simple way of showing whether

a product complies with the relevant EU directives. The CE label says nothing about the specifications or quality of the product. Frequency converters are regulated

by three EU directives:

The machinery directive (98/37/EEC)

All machines with critical moving parts are covered by the machinery directive of January 1, 1995. Since a frequency converter is largely electrical, it does not fall

under the machinery directive. However, if a frequency converter is supplied for use in a machine, we provide information on safety aspects relating to the

frequency converter. We do this by means of a manufacturer's declaration.

The low-voltage directive (73/23/EEC)

Frequency converters must be CE labelled in accordance with the low-voltage directive of January 1, 1997. The directive applies to all electrical equipment and

appliances used in the 50 - 1000 V AC and the 75 - 1500 V DC voltage ranges. GE CE-labels in accordance with the directive and issues a declaration of conformity

upon request.

The EMC directive (89/336/EEC)

EMC is short for electromagnetic compatibility. The presence of electromagnetic compatibility means that the mutual interference between different components/

appliances does not affect the way the appliances work.

The EMC directive came into effect January 1, 1996. GE CE-labels in accordance with the directive and issues a declaration of conformity upon request. To carry

out EMC-correct installation, see the instructions in this Design Guide. In addition, we specify which standards our products comply with. We offer the filters

presented in the specifications and provide other types of assistance to ensure the optimum EMC result.

It must be separately collected with electrical and electronic waste according to local and currently

valid legislation.
