Handling
T
ransport, storage
Observe the notes regarding transport, storage and correct handling. Ensure proper handling
and avoid mechanical stress. Do not bend any components and do not change any insulaon
distances during transport or handling. Do not touch any electronic components and contacts.
Inverters contain electrostacally sensive components which can easily be damaged by
inappropriate handling. Do not damage or destroy any electrical components since thereby
your health could be endangered!
Installaon
The technical data and supply condions can be obtained from the nameplate and the
documentaon. They must be strictly observed.
The inverters have to be installed and cooled according to the regulaons given in the
corresponding documentaon Observe the climac condions according to the technical data.
The ambient air must not exceed the degree of polluon 2 according to EN 61800−5−1.
Electrical connecon
When working on live inverters, observe the applicable naonal regulaons for the prevenon
of accidents.
The electrical installaon must be carried out according to the appropriate regulaons (e. g.
cable cross-secons, fuses, PE connecon). Addional informaon can be obtained from the
documentaon.
The documentaon contains notes about installaon according to EMC regulaons (such as
shielding, grounding, lters and cable roung). Also observe these notes for CE-marked
inverters. The manufacturer of the system or machine is responsible for adherence to the
limits required in connecon with EMC legislaon. The inverters must be installed in housings
(e g. control cabinets) to meet the limit values for radio interferences valid at the site of
installaon. The housings have to enable an EMC-compliant installaon. In parcular observe
that e. g. control cabinet doors preferably have a circumferenal metallic connecon to the
housing. Reduce openings or cutouts through the housing to a minimum.
Inverters may cause a DC current in the PE conductor. If a residual current device (RCD) is used
for protecon against direct or indirect contact for an inverter with three-phase supply, only a
residual current device (RCD) of type B is permissible on the supply side of the inverter. If the
inverter has a single-phase supply, a residual current device (RCD) of type A is also
permissible. Apart from using a residual current device (RCD), other protecve measures can
be taken as well, e. g. electrical isolaon by double or reinforced insulaon or isolaon from
the supply system by means of a transformer.
Operaon
If necessary, systems including inverters must be equipped with addional monitoring and
protecon devices. Also comply with the safety regulaons and provisions valid at the
installaon site.
Aer the inverter has been disconnected from the supply voltage, all live components and
power terminals must not be touched immediately because capacitors can sll be charged.
Please observe the corresponding sckers on the inverter.
All protecon covers and doors must be shut during operaon.
You may adapt the inverters to your applicaon by parameter seng within the limits
available. For this, observe the notes in the documentaon.
Safety funcons
Certain inverter versions support safety funcons (e. g. ”safe torque o”, formerly ”safe
standsll”) according to the requirements of the EC Machinery Direcve 2006/42/EU. The
notes on the integrated safety provided in this documentaon must be observed.
Maintenance and servicing
The inverters do not require any maintenance if the prescribed operang condions are
observed.
