INSTRUCTIONS FOR COMPLIANCE WITH THE EUROPEAN DIRECTIVES
(FOR 400V class only. LVD compliant product has CE and TUV marking.)
1. EMC DIRECTIVE
(1) Our view of inverters for the EMC Directive
An inverter does not function independently. It is a component designed for installation in a control
box and for use with another equipment to control a machine or equipment: Therefore, we do not
think that the EMC Directive applies directly to inverters. For this reason, we do not place a CE
mark on the inverter. CE mark placed on the inverter shows compliance to the Low Voltage
Directive. The European power drive manufacturers' organization (CEMEP) also holds this point
of view.
(2) Compliance
We do not think that the inverters themselves are covered directly by the EMC Directive. However,
the EMC Directive applies to machines and equipment into which inverters have been incorpo-
rated, and these machines and equipment must carry the CE mark. Hence, we have prepared a
technical document "EMC Installation Guidelines" (manual number BCN-A21041-202) so that
machines and equipment incorporating inverters may conform to the EMC Directive more easily.

Outline of installation method
It is recommended to install an inverter in the following method:
*
Use the inverter with an European Standard-compliant noise filter.
*
For wiring between the inverter and motor, use shielded cables or run cables in metal conduit
and ground the cables or conduit at the inverter and motor ends. Use the shortest possible cable
length.
*
Install the inverter in a grounded metal enclosure. The enclosure should prevent radiated noise
leakage.
*
Insert a line noise filter and ferrite core into the power and control lines as required.
Full information including the European Standard-compliant noise filter specifications are publish-
ed in the "EMC Installation Guidelines" (manual number BCN- A21041-202). Please contact your
sales representative.
2. Low Voltage Directive
(1) Our view of inverters for the Low Voltage Directive
Inverters are covered by the Low Voltage Directive.
(2) Compliance
We declare we meet Low Voltage Directive and place CE marking on the inverter.
The European verification institution has approved that our inverters conform to DIN VDE0160.
(3) Instructions
To conform to DIN VDE0160, the following specifications and instructions listed are different from
those of the standard models.
*
The rated input voltage range is 3-phase, 380V to 415V, 50160Hz.
*
Do not use residual current device as the only protection against indirect contact. Protective
earth connection is essential.
*
Wire the earth terminal independently. (Do not connect two or more cables.)
*
Only use EN or IEC compliant no-fuse breaker and magnetic contactors.
*
Use the inverter under condition of Over Voltage Category II and Pollution Degree 2 or better.
1)
Insert an EN or IEC Standard-compliant isolation transformer or surge suppressor to make
the Over Voltage Category II if power supply over voltage category is Ill or IV.
2)
Install in a cabinet with IP54 rating or better to have Pollution Degree 2.
*
For the input and output of the inverter, only use cables of the type and size set forth in EN60204
Appendix C.
*
The rating of the alarm output relay is 30VDC, 0.3A. There is basic insulation between the alarm
output relay and the inverter control circuit.
