Zener ECODRIVE 8000 Installation Manual Supplement page 5

ZENER VARIDRIVE SOLUTIONS
Do not touch the terminals of the equipment or any associated motor wiring when the equipment is energised, even if
motor is stopped. Electric shock may result.
In Auxiliary Power (Dual) Supply applications where the ECODRIVE is supplied from AC power, the photovoltaic
conductors must be treated as being live parts.
Do not modify this equipment electrically, mechanically or otherwise. Modification may create safety hazards as well as
resulting in non-compliance to required standards or approvals.
Ensure the Photovoltaic array maximum open circuit voltage at the expected minimum temperature does not exceed
800Vdc for an 8Exxx or 400Vdc for an 8ELxxx Type ECODRIVE.
Where the ECODRIVE is a component of another product, it is the responsibility of the purchaser to ensure their final
product meets all necessary safety, EMC, regulatory, operational and other requirements for that product. The
requirements for the purchaser's final product may be substantially different to the requirements for standalone VSD's or
equipment.
Installation:
The wiring & connection of the ECODRIVE, the motor, photovoltaic modules and other associated equipment must be
carried out by qualified personnel only and installed in a manner which complies with all appropriate standards and
regulations.
Mount the equipment on a vertical, flat, incombustible surface such as metal or masonry. Do not place combustible or
flammable material near the equipment. The equipment must be mounted vertical. Failure to observe these precautions
may create a fire hazard.
Do not install this equipment in locations where mechanical damage to the enclosure is possible. In particular consider
vehicles, vandalism and attack by insects or animals. The equipment may require additional consideration to prevent
unauthorised access.
The ECODRIVE must be mounted away from direct sunlight and any source of heat. If installed in another enclosure,
adequate ventilation must be provided and the resulting temperature rise in the enclosure allowed for. The ambient
temperature of the equipment must be below maximum rated operating temperature.
Attention is drawn to the potential for condensation in vulnerable environments. Additional precautions may be
required.
The installation location and environment should provide for safe access and working conditions for service personnel.
Do not mount the ECODRIVE in "confined spaces"
Do not drill holes in the enclosure except in the gland plate. Remove the gland plate before drilling cable holes.
Do not allow metal shavings or any other conductive material to enter the enclosure or damage may result.
The ECODRIVE is not a Grid Interactive Inverter and does not have integral earth leakage protection or residual current
monitoring functions.
Functional earthing of any of the conductors on the DC side is not permitted. This is a transformer less (non-isolated)
system.
1.
Confined spaces are generally defined in Occupational Health and Safety (OH&S) regulations to mean spaces where
special precautions are necessary to ensure a safe breathing atmosphere, or there is limited access for escape/rescue in
case of emergency.
