2 Safety information
The VTD-60.XX-K5SB control electronics have been developed based on state-of-the-art electronics and electrical engineering,
as well as recognized guidelines for the safety and protection of users. See also Chapter
The control electronics may only be operated and serviced by authorized specialist personnel who have fully read and under-
stood these operating instructions. These control electronics must be used with due care and in compliance with the safety infor-
mation outlined in these operating instructions and the country-specific applicable regulations.

2.1 General safety information

Always observe the following safety information, regardless of the specific operating conditions:
• Before you start working with the control electronics, switch them off and secure them from switching themselves on again.
• Before opening the control electronics or entering the danger zone, ensure all drives are safely brought to a standstill and are
secured against switching on again.
• Do not modify or convert the control electronics, or fit any attachments to them, without approval from ebm-papst.
• Commissioning may only take place following full verification of compliance with all relevant legal requirements, guidelines
and application-related safety regulations (e.g. accident prevention regulations).
• The safety hazards associated with the control electronics must be reassessed following installation in the end application.
• Keep the workplace clean and tidy. Untidiness in the work area increases the risk of accidents.

2.2 Documentation

When using the control electronics in connection with drives or similar, the relevant operating instructions must also be ob-
served.
In addition to these operating instructions, "epTools" PC software is required for configuring and parameterizing the control
electronics. Operation is described in the help file in the "epTools" software.
