GB - 4
1. General
In operation, drive converters, depending on their degree of
protection, may have live, uninsulated, and possibly also moving
or rotating parts, as well as hot surfaces.
In case of inadmissible removal of the required covers, of improper
use, wrong installation or maloperation, there is the danger of
serious personal injury and damage to property.
For further information, see documentation.
All operations serving transport, installation and commissioning
as well as maintenance are to be carried out by skilled technical
personnel (Observe IEC 364 or CENELEC HD 384 or DIN VDE
0100 and IEC 664 or DIN/VDE 0110 and national accident
prevention rules!).
For the purposes of these basic safety instructions, „skilled
technical personnel“ means persons who are familiar with the
installation, mounting, commissioning and operation of the
product and have the qualications needed for the performance
of their functions.
2. Intended use
Drive converters are components designed for inclusion in elec-
trical installations or machinery.
In case of installation in machinery, commissioning of the drive
converter (i.e. the starting of normal operation) is prohibited until
the machinery has been proved to conform to the provisions of
the directive 2006/42/EC (Machinery Directive). Account is to be
taken of EN 60204.
The drive converters meet the requirements of the Low-Voltage
directive 2006/95/EC. The harmonized standards of the series
EN 61800-5-1 for the drive converters were used.
The technical data as well as information concerning the supply
conditions shall be taken from the rating plate and from the docu-
mentation and shall be strictly observed.
3. Transport, storage
The instructions for transport, storage and proper use shall be
complied with.
The climatic conditions shall be in conformity with EN 61800-
5-1.
4. Installation
The installation and cooling of the appliances shall be in accor-
dance with the specications in the pertinent documentation.
The drive converters shall be protected against excessive strains.
In particular, no components must be bent or isolating distances
altered in the course of transportation or handling. No contact shall
be made with electronic components and contacts.
Drive converters contain electrostatic sensitive components
which are liable to damage through improper use. Electric
components must not be mechanically damaged or destroyed
(potential health risks).
5. Electrical connection
When working on live drive converters, the applicable national
accident prevention rules (e.g. VBG 4) must be complied with.
The electrical installation shall be carried out in accordance
with the relevant requirements (e.g. cross-sectional areas of
conductors, fusing, PE connection). For further information, see
documentation.
Instructions for the installation in accordance with EMC require-
ments, like screening, earthing, location of lters and wiring, are
contained in the drive converter documentation. They must always
be complied with, also for drive converters bearing a CE marking.
Observance of the limit values required by EMC law is the respon-
sibility of the manufacturer of the installation or machine.
6. Operation
Installations which include drive converters shall be equipped
with additional control and protective devices in accordance with
the relevant applicable safety requirements, e.g. act respecting
technical equipment, accident prevention rules etc.. Changes
to the drive converters by means of the operating software are
admissible.
After disconnection of the drive converter from the voltage supply,
live appliance parts and power terminals must not be touched
immediately because of possibly energized capacitors. In this
respect, the corresponding signs and markings on the drive
converter must be respected.
During operation, all covers and doors shall be kept closed.
7. Maintenance and servicing
The manufacturer’s documentation shall be followed.
