Thisvariablespeeddriveproduct(Optidrive)isintendedforprofessionalincorporationintocompleteequipmentorsystemsas
partofafixedinstallation.Ifinstalledincorrectlyitmaypresentasafetyhazard.TheOptidriveuseshighvoltagesandcurrents,
carriesahighlevelofstoredelectricalenergy,andisusedtocontrolmechanica
lplantthatmaycauseinjury.Closeattentionis
requiredtosystemdesignandelectricalinstallationtoavoidhazardsineithernormaloperationorintheeventofequipment
malfunction.Onlyqualifiedelectriciansareallowedtoinstallandmaintainthisproduct.
Systemdesign,installation,commissioningandmaintenancemustbecarriedoutonlybypersonnelwhohavethenecessary
trainingandexperience.Theymustcarefullyreadthissafetyinformationand theinstructionsinthisGuideandfollowall
informationregardingtransport,storage,installationanduseoftheOptidrive,includingthespecifiedenvironmental
limitations.
DonotperformanyflashtestorvoltagewithstandtestontheOptidrive.Anyelectricalmeasurementsrequiredshouldbe
carriedoutwiththeOptidrivedisconnected.
Electricshockhazard!DisconnectandISOLATEtheOptidrivebeforeattemptinganyworkonit.Highvoltagesarepresentatthe
terminalsandwithinthedriveforupto10minutesafterdisconnectionoftheelectricalsupply.Alwaysensurebyusinga
suitablemultimeterthatnovoltageispresentonanydrivepowerte
rminalspriortocommencinganywork.
Wheresupplytothedriveisthroughaplugandsocketconnector,donotdisconnectuntil10minuteshaveelapsedafterturning
offthesupply.
Ensurecorrectearthingconnectionsandcableselectionasperdefinedbylocallegislationorcodes.Thedrivemayhavea
leakagecurrentofgreaterthan3.5mA;furthermoretheearthcablemustbesufficienttocarrythemaximumsupplyfault
currentwhichnormallywillbelimitedbythefusesorMCB.Suitablyratedfu
sesorMCBshouldbefittedinthemainssupplyto
thedrive,accordingtoanylocallegislationorcodes.
Donotcarryoutanyworkonthedrivecontrolcableswhilstpowerisappliedtothedriveortotheexternalcontrolcircuits.
The“SafeTorqueOff”Functiondoesnotpreventhighvoltagesfrombeingpresentatthedrivespowerterminals.

WithintheEuropeanUnion,allmachineryinwhichthisproductisusedmustcomplywiththeMachineryDirective2006/42/EC,
SafetyofMachinery.Inparticular,themachinemanufacturerisresponsibleforprovidingamainswitchand ensuringthe
electricalequipmentcomplieswithEN60204‐1.
ThelevelofintegrityofferedbytheOptidrivecontrol inputfunctions
–
forexamplestop/start,forward/reverseandmaximum
speed,isnotsufficientforuseinsafety‐criticalapplicationswithoutindependentchannelsofprotection.Allapplicationswhere
malfunctioncouldcauseinjuryorlossoflifemustbesubjecttoariskassessmentandfurtherprotectionprovidedwhere
needed.
Thedrivenmotorcanstartatpowerupiftheenableinputsignalispresent.
TheSTOPfunctiondoesnotremovepotentiallylethalhighvoltages.ISOLATEthedriveandwait10minutesbeforestartingany
workonit.NevercarryoutanyworkontheDrive,MotororMotorcablewhilsttheinputpowerisstillapplied.
TheOptidrivecanbeprogrammedtooperatethedrivenmotoratspeedsaboveorbelowthespeedachievedwhenconnecting
themotordirectlytothemainssupply.Obtainconfirmationfromthemanufacturersofthemotorandthedrivenmachine
aboutsuitabilityforoperationovertheintendedspeedrangepriortomachinest
artup.
Donotactivatetheautomaticfaultresetfunctiononanysystemswherebythismaycauseapotentiallydangeroussituation.
IP55andIP66drivesprovidetheirownpollutiondegree2environments.IP20drivesmustbeinstalledinapollutiondegree2
environment,mountedinacabinetwithIP54orbetter.
Optidrivesareintendedforindooruseonly.
Whenmountingthedrive,ensurethatsufficientcoolingisprovided.Donotcarryoutdrillingoperationswiththedriveinplace,
dustandswarffromdrillingmayleadtodamage.
Theentryofconductiveorflammableforeignbodiesshouldbeprevented.Flammablematerialshouldnotbeplacedcloseto
thedrive
Relativehumiditymustbelessthan95%(non‐condensing).
Ensurethatthesupplyvoltage,frequencyandno.ofphases(1or3phase)correspondtotheratingoftheOptidriveas
delivered.
NeverconnectthemainspowersupplytotheOutputterminalsU,V,W.
Donotinstallanytypeofautomaticswitchgearbetweenthedriveandthemotor
Wherevercontrolcablingisclosetopowercabling,maintainaminimumseparationof100mmandarrangecrossingsat90
degrees
Ensurethatallterminalsaretightenedtotheappropriatetorquesetting
DonotattempttocarryoutanyrepairoftheOptidrive.Inthecaseofsuspectedfaultormalfunction,contactyourlocal
