1.1 Explanation of Symbols and Notes
Work Safety Symbol
You will find this symbol next to all work safety notes in this operating manual if there is a
risk of injury or death for persons involved. Pay attention to these notes and observe par-
ticular caution in such cases. Also pass on all work safety instructions to other users.
Voltage Warning
This symbol is shown wherever particular caution is necessary owing to occurring or ap-
plied voltages (e.g. DC voltages up to 650 V) and where special precautionary measures
have to be taken. The inverter must always be isolated from the mains when working on it.
Caution Note
This note is shown in all parts of this operating manual to which particular attention must be
paid to ensure that the guidelines, specifications, notes and the correct sequence of work
will be obeyed and to prevent damage or destruction of the inverter and/or systems.
1.2 Safety and Operating Instructions for Drive Converters
1. General
In operation, drive converters, depending on their degree of protection, may have live,
unisolated, and possibly also moving or rotating parts, as well as hot surfaces.
In case of inadmissible removal of the required covers, of improper use, wrong installation
or maloperation, there is the danger of serious personal injury and damage to property.
For further information, see documentation.
All operations serving transport, installation and commissioning as well as maintenance are
to be carried out by skilled technical personnel (Observe IEC 364 or CENELEC HD 384
or DIN VDE 0100 and IEC 664 or DIN/VDE 0110 and national accident prevention rules!).
For the purposes of these basic safety instructions, “skilled technical personnel” means per-
sons who are familiar with the installation, mounting, commissioning and operation of the
product and have the qualifications needed for the performance of their functions.
We draw attention to the fact that no liability can be assumed for damage and malfunctions
resulting from failure to observe the operating manual.
Technical amendments of illustrations and data given in this operating manual are reserved
in the interest of improving the unit and its functions.
2. Intended Use
The application of the drive converter described in this operating manual exclusively serves
the purpose of continuously variable speed control of three-phase motors.
Drive converters are components designed for inclusion in electrical installations or machin-
ery.
The drive converters are designed for installation in a switchgear cabinet and for permanent
connection.
The operator of the system is solely liable for damage resulting from improper use of the
drive converter.
