2.2
Requirements for product use
– Make this documentation available to the design engineer, installer and personnel responsible for
commissioning the machine or system in which this product is used.
– Make sure that the specifications in the documentation are observed at all times. When so doing,
also take into account the documentation for the other components and modules (e.g. motor
controller, cables etc.).
– Take into account the legal regulations applicable for the location as well as:
– instructions and standards,
– regulations of testing organisations and insurers,
– national specifications.

2.2.2
Qualification of the specialist technicians (requirements for staff )
The device may only be set into operation by a qualified electrical technician who is familiar with:
– the installation and operation of electrical control systems,
– the applicable instructions for operating safety engineering systems,
– the applicable instructions for accident prevention and occupational safety and
– the documentation for the product.
2.2.3
Diagnostic coverage (DC)
Diagnostic coverage depends on the integration of the motor controller into the control loop system as
well as the implemented diagnostics measures è 6.4 Diagnostics and fault clearance.
If a potentially dangerous malfunction is recognised during diagnostics, appropriate measures must
be taken to maintain the safety level.
NOTICE
Check whether detection of shorts across contacts of the input circuit and the connection wiring is
required in your application.
If necessary, use a safety relay unit with detection of shorts across contacts to control the safety
function.
2.2.4
