1 Introduction
The VARIPACK frequency inverters (FI) have been de-
veloped for use in refrigeration, especially for capacity
control of BITZER compressors. In addition to speed
control, the VARIPACK frequency inverters can also
take over control functions of the refrigeration system.
These Operating Instructions describe the
BITZER VARIPACK frequency inverters for refrigera-
tion compressors. For further information on program-
ming the ModbusRTU interface, see
BEST SOFTWARE.
The VARIPACK frequency inverters have been built in
accordance with state-of-the-art methods and current
regulations. Particular importance has been placed on
user safety. The supplied Operating Instructions
CB-111/CB-112/CB-113 must be kept available in the
vicinity of the VARIPACK frequency inverter!
2 Safety
2.1 Authorized staff
All work done on frequency inverters may only be per-
formed by qualified and authorized staff who have been
trained and instructed accordingly. Local regulations
and guidelines apply with respect to the staff's qualifica-
tion and expertise.
2.2 Residual risks
The products, electronic accessories and further sys-
tem components may present unavoidable residual
risks. Therefore, any person working on it must care-
fully read this document! The following are mandatory:
• relevant safety regulations and standards
• generally accepted safety rules
• EU directives
• national regulations and safety standards
Depending on the country, different standards are ap-
plied when installing the product, for example: EN378,
EN60204, EN60335, ENISO14120, ISO5149,
IEC60204, IEC60335, ASHRAE15, NEC, UL stand-
ards.
2.3 Personal protective equipment
When working on systems and their components: Wear
protective work shoes, protective clothing and safety
goggles. In addition, wear cold-protective gloves when
working on the open refrigeration circuit and on com-
ponents that may contain refrigerant.

2.4 Safety references
Safety references are instructions intended to prevent
hazards. They must be stringently observed!
NOTICE
Safety reference to avoid situations which may
result in damage to a device or its equipment.
CAUTION
Safety reference to avoid a potentially hazard-
ous situation which may result in minor or mod-
erate injury.
WARNING
Safety reference to avoid a potentially hazard-
ous situation which could result in death or seri-
ous injury.
DANGER
Safety reference to avoid an imminently hazard-
ous situation which may result in death or seri-
ous injury.
2.4.1 General safety references
DANGER
Life-threatening voltages inside the frequency
inverter housing!
Contact can lead to serious injuries or death.
Never open the FI housing in operation! Switch
off the main switch and secure it against being
switched on again.
Wait for at least 10 minutes until all capacitors
have been discharged!
Before switching on again, close the FI housing.
