Safety instructions 
3ADW000195R0501 DCS800 Service Manual e e
Operation 
  These warnings are intended for all who plan the operation of the drive 
or operate the drive. Ignoring the instructions can cause physical injury 
or death and/or damage to the equipment. 
 
 
WARNING! 
 
 
 
•  Before adjusting the drive and putting it into service, make sure 
that the motor and all driven equipment are suitable for operation 
throughout the speed range provided by the drive. The drive can 
be adjusted to operate the motor at speeds above and below the 
base speed. 
  •  Do not control the motor with the disconnecting device 
(disconnecting mains); instead, use the control panel keys 
 and 
, or commands via the I/O board of the drive. 
 • Mains connection 
You can use a disconnect switch (with fuses) to disconnect the 
electrical components of the drive from the mains for installation 
and maintenance work. The type of disconnect switch used must 
be as per EN 60947-3, Class B, so as to comply with EU 
regulations, or a circuit-breaker type which switches off the load 
circuit by means of an auxiliary contact causing the breaker's main 
contacts to open. The mains disconnect must be locked in its 
"OPEN" position during any installation and maintenance work. 
  •  EMERGENCY STOP buttons must be installed at each control 
desk and at all other control panels requiring an emergency stop 
function. Pressing the STOP button on the control panel of the 
drive will neither cause an emergency stop of the motor, nor will 
the drive be disconnected from any dangerous potential. 
To avoid unintentional operating states, or to shut the unit down in 
case of any imminent danger according to the standards in the 
safety instructions it is not sufficient to merely shut down the drive 
via signals "RUN", "drive OFF" or "Emergency Stop" respectively 
"control panel" or "PC tool". 
 • Intended use 
The operating instructions cannot take into consideration every 
possible case of configuration, operation or maintenance. Thus, 
they mainly give such advice only, which is required by qualified 
personnel for normal operation of the machines and devices in 
industrial installations. 
If in special cases the electrical machines and devices are in-
tended for use in non-industrial installations - which may require 
stricter safety regulations (e.g. protection against contact by 
children or similar) - these additional safety measures for the 
installation must be provided by the customer during assembly.
