Safety Instructions
1. General
In operation, drive converter 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 commis-
sioning as well as maintenance are to be carried out by
skilled technical personnel (observe IEC 364 or CENE-
LEC 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
oftheproductandhavethequalicationsneededforthe
performance of their functions.
2.Speciedapplication
Drive converter are components which are intended for
the installation in electric systems or machines.
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 (Machine Di-
rective). Account is to be taken of EN 60204.
Start-up (i.e. the starting of normal operation) is only per-
mitted in compliance with the EMC directive (2004/108/
EC).
The drive converter meet the requirements of the Low-Volt-
age directive 2006/95/EC. The harmonized standards of
the series EN 50178/DIN VDE 0160 in connection with EN
60439-1/DIN VDE 0660 part 500 and EN 60146/DIN VDE
0558 were used for drive converter.
The technical data as well as information concerning the
supply conditions shall be taken from the rating plate and
from the documentation 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 prEN
50178.
1.9 Safety and application notes
Safety and application notes for drive converter
(in accordance with: Low-Voltage Directive 2006/95/EC)
4. Installation
The installation and cooling of the appliances shall be in
accordancewiththespecicationsinthepertinentdocu-
mentation.
The drive converter shall be protected against excessive
strains. In particular, no components must be bent or iso-
lating distances altered in the course of transportation or
handling. No contact shall be made with electronic compo-
nents and contacts.
Drive converter contain electrostatic sensitive components
which are liable to damage through improper use. Electric
components must not be mechanically damaged or de-
stroyed (potential health risks).
5. Electrical connection
When working on live drive converter, the applicable na-
tional accident prevention rules (e.g. VBG 4) must be com-
plied with.
The electrical installation shall be carried out in accord-
ance 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
requirements, like screening, earthing, location of lters
and wiring, are contained in the drive converter documen-
tation. They must always be complied with, also for drive
converter bearing a CE marking. Observance of the lim-
it values required by EMC law is the responsibility of the
manufacturer of the installation or machine.
6. Operation
Installations which include drive converter shall be
equipped with additional control and protective devices
in accordance with the relevant applicable safety require-
ments, e.g. act respecting technical equipment, accident
prevention rules etc. Changes to the drive converter 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 observed.
During operation, all covers and doors shall be kept closed.
7. Maintenance and servicing
The manufacturer’s documentation shall be followed.
Keep safety instructions in a safe place!
