Safety and application notes
for drive controllers
(according to: Low Voltage Directive 73/23/EWG)
1. General
During operation, drive controllers may have, according to their type of
protection, live, bare, in some cases also movable or rotating parts as well as
hot surfaces.
Unauthorized removal of the required cover, inappropriate use, incorrect
installation or operation, creates the risk of severe personal injury or damage to
material assets.
Further information can be obtained from the documentation.
All operations concerning transport, installation, and commissioning as well as
maintenance must be carried out by qualified, skilled personnel (IEC 364
and CENELEC HD 384 or DIN VDE 0100 and IEC report 664 or DIN VDE 0110
and national regulations for the prevention of accidents must be observed).
Qualified skilled personnel according to this basic safety information are
persons who are familiar with the erection, assembly, commissiong, and
operation of the product and who have the qualifications necessary for their
occupation.
2. Application as directed
Drive controllers are components which are designed for installation into
electrical systems or machinery.
When installing into machines, commissioning of the drive controllers (i.e. the
starting of operation as directed) is prohibited until it is proven that the machine
corresponds to the regulations of the EC directive 89/392/EWG (Machinery
Directive); EN 60204 must be observed.
Commissioning (i.e. starting of operation as directed) is only allowed when
there is compliance with the EMC Directive (89/336/EWG).
The drive controllers meet the requirements of the Low Voltage Directive
73/23/EWG. The harmonized standards of the prEN 50178/ DIN VDE 0160
series together with EN 60439-1/DIN VDE 0660 part 500 and EN 60146/DIN
VDE 0558 are applicable to drive controllers.
The technical data and information about the connection conditions must be
obtained from the nameplate and must be observed in all cases.
3. Transport, storage
Notes for transport, storage and appropriate handling must be observed.
Climatic conditions must be observed according to prEN 50178.
