1 General Safety Instructions and Information on Use
Warning!
The specifications and instructions contained in the documentation must be complied
with strictly during installation and commissioning. Before starting the relevant ac-
tivity, read the documentation carefully and comply with the safety instructions. The
term "Qualified Staff" refers to anybody who is familiar with the installation, assem-
bly, commissioning and operation of the frequency inverter and has the proper qua-
lification for the job.
1.1 General Information
Warning!
The DC-link circuit of the frequency inverter is charged during operation, i.e. there is
always the risk of contact with high voltage. Frequency inverters are used for driving
moving parts and they may become hot at the surface during operation.
Any unauthorized removal of the necessary covers, improper use, wrong installation
or operation may result in serious injuries or material damage.
In order to avoid such injuries or damage, only qualified technical staff may carry
out the transport, installation, commissioning, setup or maintenance work required.
The standards EN 50178, IEC 60364 (Cenelec HD 384 or DIN VDE 0100), IEC
60664-1 (Cenelec HD 625 or VDE 0110-1) as well as the applicable national regula-
tions must be complied with. The term „Qualified Staff“ refers to anybody who is
familiar with the installation, assembly, commissioning and operation of the frequen-
cy inverter as well as the possible hazards and has the proper qualification for the
job.
Persons who are not familiar with the operation of the frequency inverter and child-
ren must not have access to the device.
1.2 Purpose of the Frequency Inverters
Warning!
The frequency inverters are electrical drive components intended for installation in
industrial plants or machines. Commissioning and start of operation is not allowed
until it has been verified that the machine meets the requirements of the EC Machi-
nery Directive 2006/42/EEC and EN 60204. In accordance with the CE marking re-
quirements, the frequency inverters comply with the Low Voltage Directive
2006/95/EC as well as EN 61800-5-1. The user shall be responsible for making sure
that the requirements of the EMC Directive 2004/108/EEC are met. Frequency inver-
ters are only available at specialized dealers and are exclusively intended for profes-
sional use as per EN 61000-3-2.
Purposes other than intended may result in the exclusion of warranty.
The frequency inverters are also marked with the UL label according to UL508c,
which proves that they also meet the requirements of the CSA Standard C22.2-No.
14-95.
The technical data, connection specifications and information on ambient conditions
are indicated on the name plate and in the documentation and must be complied
with in any case. Anyone involved in any kind of work at the device must have read
the instructions carefully and understood them before starting the work.
1.3 Transport and Storage
The frequency inverters must be transported and stored in an appropriate way. During trans-
port and storage the devices must remain in their original packaging.
The units may only be stored in dry rooms which are protected against dust and moisture. The
units may be exposed to little temperature deviations only. Observe the conditions according to
EN 60721-3-1 for storage, EN 60721-3-2 for transport and the marking on the packaging.
