Safety notes
Transport and storage
Don't drop the converter or converter components during transport and storage. Protect the
equipment from water (rainfall) and excessive temperatures.
Installation and Commissioning
Wherever faults occurring in the control equipment can lead to substantial material damage
or even grievous bodily injury (that is, potentially dangerous faults), additional external
precautions must be taken or facilities provided to ensure or enforce safe operation, even
when a fault occurs (e.g. independent limit switches, mechanical interlocks, etc.).
Operation
Operating the converter outside the scope of the specification given in the technical
specifications may cause malfunction or damage to the converter components. In
exceptional cases there is the potential to cause overheating, danger of fire, damage to
property, personal injury or loss of life.
Emergency stop facilities according to EN 60204, IEC 204 (VDE 0113) must remain
operative in all operating modes of the control equipment. Any disengagement of the
emergency stop facility must not lead to an uncontrolled or an undefined restart of the
equipment.
Use of mobile radio devices (e.g. telephones, walkie-talkies) in the immediate vicinity of the
devices (< 1.8 m) can interfere with the functioning of the equipment.
Filtered drives can only be used on power systems with grounded neutral point.
