ABB AC500-eCo Series Hardware Introduction page 28

The user has to guarantee that the devices and the components belonging to them are mounted
following these regulations. For operating the machines and installations, other national and
international relevant regulations, concerning prevention of accidents and using technical working
means, also have to be met.
Advant Controller Devices are designed according to: IEC 1131 Part 2 under over voltage
category II per DIN VDE 0110 Part 2.
For direct connection of AC Category III over voltages provide protection measures for over
voltage category II according to IEC-Report 664/1980 and DIN VDE 0110 Part 1.
Equivalent standards:
DIN VDE 0110 Part 1 ↔ IEC 664
DIN VDE 0113 Part 1 ↔ EN 60204 Part 1
DIN VDE 0660 Part 500 ↔ EN 60439-1 ↔ IEC 439-1
All rights reserved to change design, size, weight, etc.
* VDE stands for „Association of German Electrical Engineers".
Safety technical instructions
Please read!
General
Completely safe installation and starting up and problem free functioning of the devices at their
work location can be ensured by observing the following instructions.
Qualified personnel
Both the control system AC500 and other components in the vicinity are operated with dangerous
contact voltages. Touching parts, which are under such voltages, can cause grave damage to
health.
In order to avoid such risks and the occurrence of material damage, everyone involved with the
assembly, starting up and servicing must possess pertinent knowledge of the following:
the automation technology sector,
dealing with dangerous voltages,
Using standards and regulations, in particular VDE, accident prevention regulations and
regulations concerning special ambient conditions (e.g. areas potentially endangered by
explosive materials, heavy pollution or corrosive influences).
Use as directed
Properly installed systems that are "used as directed" and properly conform with the applicable
codes, regulations and sound engineering principles pose no risks or dangers to health.
"Used as directed" implies that the devices are installed, maintained and operated in accordance
with appropriate ABB manuals & documents.
No liability is assumed for the direct or indirect consequences of the improper use, improper
application or inadequate maintenance of these devices.
