1.4 Environmental limits
Instructions within the supplied data and information within the Mentor MP User Guide
regarding transport, storage, installation and the use of the drive must be complied with,
including the specified environmental limits. Drives must not be subjected to excessive
physical force.
1.5 Access
Access must be restricted to authorized personnel only. Safety regulations which apply
at the place of use must be complied with.
1.6 Fire protection
The drive enclosure is not classified as a fire enclosure. A separate fire enclosure must
be provided. For further information, refer to section 3.2 Fire protection on page 19.
1.7 Compliance with regulations
The installer is responsible for complying with all relevant regulations, such as national
wiring regulations, accident prevention regulations and electromagnetic compatibility
(EMC) regulations. Particular attention must be given to the cross-sectional areas of
conductors, the selection of fuses and other protection, and protective ground (earth)
connections.
The Mentor MP User Guide contains instructions for achieving compliance with specific
EMC standards.
Within the European Union, all machinery in which this product is used must comply
with the following directives:
2006/42/EC: Safety of machinery
2004/108/EC: Electromagnetic compatibility
1.8 Motor
Ensure the motor is installed in accordance with the manufacturer's recommendations.
Ensure the motor shaft is not exposed.
Low speeds may cause the motor to overheat because the cooling fan becomes less
effective. The motor should be installed with a protection thermistor. If necessary, an
electric forced ventilation fan should be used.
The values of the motor parameters set in the drive affect the protection of the motor.
The default values in the drive should not be relied upon.
It is essential that the correct value is entered into Pr 5.07 (SE07, 0.28), Motor rated
current. This affects the thermal protection of the motor.
1.9 Mechanical brake control
The brake control functions are provided to allow well co-ordinated operation of an
external brake with the drive. While both hardware and software are designed to high
standards of quality and robustness, they are not intended for use as safety functions,
i.e. where a fault or failure would result in a risk of injury. In any application where the
incorrect operation of the brake release mechanism could result in injury, independent
protection devices of proven integrity must also be incorporated.
1.10 Adjusting parameters
Some parameters have a profound effect on the operation of the drive. They must not
be altered without careful consideration of the impact on the controlled system.
Measures must be taken to prevent unwanted changes due to error or tampering.
