Approvals
3.4.1
CE - conformance
Conformance with the EC EMC Directive (89/336/EEC) and the Low Voltage Directive (73/23/EEC)
is mandatory for the supply of servo amplifiers within the European Community. Product standard
EN 61800-3 is applied to ensure conformance with the EMC Directive. The Declaration of Confor-
mity form can be found on our website (download area).
Concerning noise immunity the servo amplifier meets the requirements to the 2nd environmental
category (industrial environment). For noise emission the amplifier meets the requirement to a pro-
duct of the category C2 (motor cable £ 25m).
This product can cause high-frequency interferences in non industrial
environments which can require measures for interference suppression.
With a motor cable length from 25m onwards, the servo amplifier meets the requirement to the
category C3.
The servo amplifiers have been tested in a defined configuration, using the system components that
are described in this documentation. Any divergence from the configuration and installation descri-
bed in this documentation means that you will be responsible for carrying out new measurements to
ensure conformance with regulatory requirements. The standard EN 50178 is applied to ensure
conformance with the Low Voltage Directive.
3.4.2
UL and cUL- Conformance
This servo amplifier is listed under UL file number E195162.
UL (cUL)-certified servo amplifiers (Underwriters Laboratories Inc.) fulfill the relevant U.S. and
Canadian standard (in this case UL 840 and UL 508C).
This standard describes the fulfillment by design of minimum requirements for electrically operated
power conversion equipment, such as frequency converters and servo amplifiers, which is intended
to eliminate the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons, being caused by such equipment.
The technical conformance with the U.S. and Canadian standard is determined by an independent
UL (cUL) inspector through the type testing and regular check-ups.
Apart from the notes on installation and safety in the documentation, the customer does not have to
observe any other points in direct connection with the UL (cUL)-certification of the equipment.
UL 508C
UL 508C describes the fulfillment by design of minimum requirements for electrically operated
power conversion equipment, such as frequency converters and servo amplifiers, which is intended
to eliminate the risk of fire being caused by such equipment.
UL 840
UL 840 describes the fulfillment by design of air and insulation creepage spacings for electrical
equipment and printed circuit boards.
