Before commencing the installation
• Disconnect the power supply of the device.
• Ensure that devices cannot be accidentally restarted.
• Verify isolation from the supply.
• Earth and short circuit the device.
• Cover or enclose any adjacent live components.
• Follow the engineering instructions (IL04020001E) for the 
device concerned.
• Only suitably qualified personnel in accordance with 
EN 50110-1/-2 (VDE 0105 Part 100) may work on this 
device/system.
• Before installation and before touching the device ensure 
that you are free of electrostatic charge.
• The functional earth (FE, PES) must be connected to the 
protective earth (PE) or the potential equalisation. The system 
installer is responsible for implementing this connection.
• Connecting cables and signal lines should be installed so 
that inductive or capacitive interference does not impair the 
automation functions.
• Install automation devices and related operating elements in 
such a way that they are well protected against unintentional 
operation.
• Suitable safety hardware and software measures should be 
implemented for the I/O interface so that an open circuit on the 
signal side does not result in undefined states in the 
automation devices.
• Ensure a reliable electrical isolation of the extra-low voltage of 
the 24 V supply. Only use power supply units complying with 
IEC 60364-4-41 (VDE 0100 Part 410) or HD384.4.41 S2.
• Deviations of the mains voltage from the rated value must 
not exceed the tolerance limits given in the specifications, 
otherwise this may cause malfunction and dangerous 
operation.
• Emergency stop devices complying with IEC/EN 60204-1 must 
be effective in all operating modes of the automation devices. 
Unlatching the emergency-stop devices must not cause a 
restart.
• Devices that are designed for mounting in housings or control 
cabinets must only be operated and controlled after they have 
been installed and with the housing closed. Desktop or 
portable units must only be operated and controlled in 
enclosed housings.
• Measures should be taken to ensure the proper restart of 
programs interrupted after a voltage dip or failure. This should 
not cause dangerous operating states even for a short time. 
If necessary, emergency-stop devices should be implemented.
• Wherever faults in the automation system may cause injury or 
material damage, external measures must be implemented to 
ensure a safe operating state in the event of a fault or 
malfunction (for example, by means of separate limit switches, 
mechanical interlocks etc.).
• Depending on their degree of protection, adjustable frequency 
drives may contain live bright metal parts, moving or rotating 
components or hot surfaces during and immediately after 
operation.
• Removal of the required covers, improper installation or 
incorrect operation of motor or adjustable frequency drive may 
cause the failure of the device and may lead to serious injury or 
damage.
• The applicable national accident prevention and safety 
regulations apply to all work carried on live adjustable 
frequency drives.
• The electrical installation must be carried out in accordance 
with the relevant regulations (e. g. with regard to cable cross 
sections, fuses, PE).
• Transport, installation, commissioning and maintenance work 
must be carried out only by qualified personnel (IEC 60364, 
HD 384 and national occupational safety regulations).
• Installations containing adjustable frequency drives must be 
provided with additional monitoring and protective devices in 
accordance with the applicable safety regulations. 
Modifications to the adjustable frequency drives using the 
operating software are permitted.
