4.4 EMC instructions
COMBIVERT R6-S represent electrical equipment designed for use in industrial and com-
mercial units.
In accordance with the EMC directive 2014/30/EU, these devices are with the meaning of the
directive components to be further processed by the respective machine and unit manufac-
turer and are not operable independently.
The person installing / operating the machine / unit is obliged to proove the protective meas-
ures demanded by the EMC directive are complied with. The prescribed ratings can usually

• In order to maintain low-resistance high frequency connections, earthing and shielding, as

to-metal contact with the mounting plate, over as large an area as possible. Make ground
connectionswithasurfaceaslargeaspossible(earthingstrips).
• Only use shielded cable with copper or tin-plated braid, since steel braid is not suitable for
high frequency ranges. The screen must always be installed on the compensating rail and
fastened with clips or guided through the wall of the housing. Do not elongate the screen
