Measures To Comply With The Low Voltage Directive - Mitsubishi Electric MELIPC MI5000 Series User Manual

Measures to comply with the Low Voltage Directive

The Low Voltage Directive requires electrical equipment that is designed or adapted for use between 50 to 1000 VAC or 75 to
1500 VDC to satisfy the safety requirements.
This section describes the precautions for use of these products to comply with the Low Voltage Directive.
These precautions are based on the requirements of the Low Voltage Directive and the harmonized standards. However, they
do not guarantee that the entire machinery constructed according to the descriptions complies with the Low Voltage Directive.
The manufacturer of the machinery must determine the testing method for compliance and declare conformity to the Low
Voltage Directive.
Regulations applicable to this product
• EN61131-2 "Safety requirements for electrical equipment for measurement, control and laboratory use"
This product and those that operate at 50 VAC/75 VDC or higher rated input voltage have also been developed in accordance
with EN61131-2.
Range of application of product
■Power supply modules
Power supply modules for the AC power supply have hazardous voltage (peak voltage higher than or equal to 42.4 V)
internally. Therefore, insulation between the primary and secondary circuits is reinforced for CE-marked power supply
modules.
■Main module, fan module
These products are not targeted for the Low Voltage Directive compliance because the circuits in the products operate at the
24 VDC or less rated voltage.
Power supply
Power supply modules are designed to meet the overvoltage category .
Confirm that the power supply to the product meets the overvoltage category .
Control panel
■Protection against electric shock
Handle the control panel as necessary to protect a person who does not have adequate knowledge of electrical installation
from an electric shock. This shows example handling.
• Lock the control panel so that only a person who is trained and has acquired enough knowledge of electrical installation can
open the panel.
• Set a configuration in which the power supply is automatically shut off when the control panel is opened. (On this product,
the OS must be shut down. )
• Use a control panel with a protection degree of IP20 or higher.
■Protection from dust and water
The control panel needs to be dustproof and waterproof.
Insufficient dustproof and waterproof lower the dielectric withstand of the control panel, possibly causing dielectric breakdown.
This product is designed to be used in an environment of pollution degree 2. Use them in an environment of pollution degree
2 or below. The environment of pollution degree 2 can be achieved when the programmable controller is installed inside the
control panel with a protection degree of IP54 or equivalent.
