Original Instructions
For the purposes of compliance with the EU Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC.
General Information
This guide covers the basic information that is required to set-up and run the drive, in applications where a
drive malfunction does not result in a mechanical hazard. When the drive is used in a safety related
application, i.e. where a malfunction might result in a hazard, it is essential to refer to the full user guide. The
Drive User Guide is available for download from www.controltechniques.com/userguides.
The manufacturer accepts no liability for any consequences resulting from inappropriate, negligent or
incorrect installation or adjustment of the optional operating parameters of the equipment or from
mismatching the variable speed drive with the motor.
The contents of this guide are believed to be correct at the time of printing. In the interests of a commitment
to a policy of continuous development and improvement, the manufacturer reserves the right to change the
specification of the product or its performance, or the contents of the guide, without notice.
All rights reserved. No parts of this guide may be reproduced or transmitted in any form or by any means,
electrical or mechanical including photocopying, recording or by an information storage or retrieval system,

Drive firmware version
This product is supplied with the latest firmware version. If this drive is to be connected to an existing system
or machine, all drive firmware versions should be verified to confirm the same functionality as drives of the
same model already present. This may also apply to drives returned from a Control Techniques Service
Centre or Repair Centre. If there is any doubt please contact the supplier of the product.
The firmware version of the drive can be checked by looking at Pr 11.029
Environmental statement
Control Techniques is committed to minimising the environmental impacts of its manufacturing operations
and of its products throughout their life cycle. To this end, we operate an Environmental Management System
(EMS) which is certified to the International Standard ISO 14001. Further information on the EMS, our
Environmental Policy and other relevant information is available on request, or can be found at
www.greendrives.com.
The electronic variable-speed drives manufactured by Control Techniques have the potential to save energy
and (through increased machine/process efficiency) reduce raw material consumption and scrap throughout
their long working lifetime. In typical applications, these positive environmental effects far outweigh the
negative impacts of product manufacture and end-of-life disposal.
Nevertheless, when the products eventually reach the end of their useful life, they must not be discarded but
should instead be recycled by a specialist recycler of electronic equipment. Recyclers will find the products
easy to dismantle into their major component parts for efficient recycling. Many parts snap together and can
be separated without the use of tools, while other parts are secured with conventional fasteners. Virtually all
parts of the product are suitable for recycling.
Product packaging is of good quality and can be re-used. Large products are packed in wooden crates, while
smaller products come in strong cardboard cartons which themselves have a high recycled fibre content. If
not re-used, these containers can be recycled. Polythene, used on the protective film and bags for wrapping
product, can be recycled in the same way. Control Techniques' packaging strategy prefers easily-recyclable
materials of low environmental impact, and regular reviews identify opportunities for improvement.
When preparing to recycle or dispose of any product or packaging, please observe local legislation and best
practice.
REACH legislation
EC Regulation 1907/2006 on the Registration, Evaluation, Authorisation and restriction of Chemicals
(REACH) requires the supplier of an article to inform the recipient if it contains more than a specified
proportion of any substance which is considered by the European Chemicals Agency (ECHA) to be a
Substance of Very High Concern (SVHC) and is therefore listed by them as a candidate for compulsory
authorisation.
For current information on how this requirement applies in relation to specific Control Techniques products,
please approach your usual contact in the first instance. Control Techniques position statement can be
