Inspection and Safety Precautions 1 Inspection and Safety Precautions Sourcetronic ST500 frequency inverters are subject to strict quality assurance during production. Nevertheless, please check immediately after delivery whether the individual parts match the documents supplied. Report any visible transport damage to the shipping company immediately.
If the device supplied does not match the device specified on the delivery bill, Danger Installation please contact Sourcetronic GmbH before the inverter is installed or commissioned. • Do not touch the control cards of the frequency inverter directly. This can lead to small damage that may interfere with the operation of the inverter.
Page 10
ST500 Series Frequency Inverter Inspection and Safety Precautions • When using an encoder, a shielded cable should be used that is earthed individually. • Please note that a considerable amount of energy is stored capacitively or inductively both in the frequency inverter DC link and in the motor. The protective effect of an RCD in the supply of an inverter is therefore severely impaired with regard to the inverter output cables.
Overheating It may be advisable to install a thermal protection relay. The ST500 series frequency inverters have a maximum output frequency of 3200Hz (in vector control mode, the control quality deteriorates from 300Hz, so operation at more than 400Hz is not recommended). If the motor is operated above its rated...

Operation of the Inverter The Sourcetronic ST500 frequency inverters are not designed for operation with a at Greatly Deviated voltage outside the voltage range specified in these operating instructions. Operation Voltage with a different voltage can lead to damage within the inverter.
The ST500 frequency inverter is only suitable for three-phase asynchronous motors and permanent magnet synchronous motors. • The ST500 frequency inverter may only be used in applications specified by Sourcetronic GmbH. If the inverter is used outside of these applications, this can lead to injury, fire or other accidents. •...

ST500 Series Frequency Inverter Installation must be connected to GND, whereby the potential separation between digital and analog terminals is completely eliminated. If the inputs are to be controlled with external voltage (and galvanically isolated from the internal 24V supply and thus from the digital outputs), jumper PLC must be removed and the corresponding opposite pole of the external voltage must be connected to terminal PLC.
ST500 Series Frequency Inverter Installation 4.6 Circuit Description of the Output Terminals As already mentioned in the previous section, the SPA and SPB digital outputs are also equipped with optocouplers. A 2SC1623L6 transistor is connected downstream of the LTV-356T-B optocoupler at the SPA output, while the HCPL-M600 high-speed optocoupler requires an auxiliary voltage generated from the 24V source and therefore a further transistor for decoupling.
