Use personal protective equipment or wait until inverter has cooled down!
Electrostatic sensitive devices
Before working on the inverter, the staff must ensure to be free of electrostatic charge!
2.6 Basic safety measures
Workplace hazards
Possible death or severe personal injury.
Observe all specifications of the corresponding documentation supplied. This is the precondition for
safe and trouble-free commissioning and operation of the inverter and for obtaining the product fea-
tures specified.
Observe the specific safety instructions in this operation manual.
Equip the inverter/drive system with additional monitoring and protection devices if required by na-
tional safety regulations.
Commissioning of the inverter and the related drive system (i.e. starting of the operation as directed) is
prohibited until it is proven that the machine complies with the regulations of the EC Directive
2006/42/EC (Machinery Directive); the standard EN 60204 must be observed.
Dangerous electrical voltage
An electrical shock can cause death or severe personal injury.
Apply lockout/tagout procedures whenever possible.
Connect/disconnect all pluggable inverter connections only in deenergised condition!
Only remove the inverter from the installation in completely deenergised state.
Incorrect inverter installation
Disregarding the following instructions may lead to inverter damage and damage to material assets:
The inverter must be installed and cooled according to the instructions given in the “i500 Mounting and
switch-on instructions“. The ambient air must not exceed pollution degree 2 according to EN 61800-5-1.
Ensure proper handling and avoid excessive mechanical stress. Do not bend any inverter components
and do not change any insulation distances during transport or handling.
Incomplete or faulty inverter parameterization
Disregarding the following advices may lead to inverter damage and damage to material assets:
Always check if the procedural notes and circuit details described in this document can be adapted to
the particular application.
Refer to the i500 Commissioning manual for the parameterization of technically sophisticated applica-
tions.
