Intended Use; Improper Use - ebm-papst VTD-60 K5SB Series Translation Of The Original Operating Instructions

Safety information

2.8 Intended use

These control electronics are an installation product. They are intended solely for industrial use in devices and machines and do
not have any independent function. The control electronics are not intended to be passed on to end customers. The end
manufacturer must ensure all of the motor and electronics combinations are qualified for their intended application and are
validated as having overload and locking protection. The end manufacturer is responsible for the end product and must take
adequate safety measures. Customer equipment must be capable of withstanding the mechanical and thermal stresses that can
arise from these control electronics. This applies for the entire service life of the equipment in which these control electronics are
installed. Any other usage above and beyond this does not conform with the intended purpose and constitutes misuse of the
control electronics.
Compliance with the intended use also demands:
• Observing the operating instructions.
• Using the control electronics according to the permissible ambient temperatures and nominal data (see Chapter "4 Technical
data" on page 16).
• Only using the control electronics in stationary systems.
• Starting up the control electronics only after installation in the customer equipment.
• Operating the control electronics with all protective devices.
• Performance of all maintenance work.

2.9 Improper use

In particular, using the control electronics in the following ways is prohibited and could lead be hazardous:
• Operation of the control electronics in technical systems for which there are special requirements with regard to safeguarding
against failure.
• Operation of the control electronics in aircraft or spacecraft.
• Operation of the control electronics in residential environments.
• Operation of the control electronics in railway vehicles, motor vehicles, and ships.
• Operation of the control electronics in potentially explosive atmospheres (explosion protection area).
• Operation in medical equipment with a life-sustaining or life-support function.
• Use as a safety component or to perform safety-related functions.
• Operation with protective devices that have been completely or partially disassembled or tampered with.
• Operation with extreme vibrations.
• Painting of the control electronics.
• Unfastening of connections (e.g. screws) during operation.
• All other applications not listed as intended uses.
Risk of injury
Potential dangers in the event of non-compliance include personal injury and property damage due to
DANGER reduced service life or explosions caused by elevated surface temperature or sparking.
