Installing the Drive/Controller
Only qualified, skilled electrical technicians familiar with local safety
requirements should install this product. For service, the drive/controller must
be returned to an authorized service center. There are no user serviceable
parts inside the chassis. In certain circumstances, opening the cover may
void the product warranty.
The unit is a vented product. To prevent material spilling into the
drive/controller, mount it under an overhang or in a suitable enclosure.
This unit is made available under “Restricted Distribution” for use in the
“Second Environment” as described in EN 61800-3 1996, page 9. This
means only those individuals familiar with the EMC requirements of power
drive systems should install this product and that this product is designed for
connection to mains distribution networks other than low-voltage networks,
which may supply domestic premises. The product can tolerate atmospheric
pollution degree 2, which means only dry, non-conductive pollution is
acceptable.
The Aries Controller has been shown to meet the requirements of both the
European LVD & EMC directives when installed according to the
recommendations given within this section. It is recommended the
drive/controller be installed in an enclosure to protect it from atmospheric and
industrial process contaminants and to prevent operator access while it has
power applied. Metal equipment cabinets are ideally suited for housing the
equipment since they can provide operator protection, EMC screening, and
can be fitted with interlocks arranged to remove all hazardous motor and
drive power when the cabinet door is opened. Do not arrange interlocks to
open circuit the motor phase connections while the system is still powered,
as this could cause damage to the unit.
Precautions
During installation, take the normal precautions against damage caused by
electrostatic discharges. Wear earth wrist straps. A switch or circuit breaker
must be included in the installation, which must be clearly marked as the
disconnecting device and should be within easy reach of the machine
operator.
The drive/controller has exposed high voltage terminals. In order to comply
with the safety requirements pertaining to European Compliance, and other
authorities, the drive/controller must be mounted in such a way as to restrict
access to these terminals during normal operation.
A Safe Installation—Meeting the Requirements of the Low
Voltage Directive (LVD)
In order to comply with the requirements of the European Union’s Low
Voltage Directive, the following installation measures must be taken.
• Mains fuses must be installed on all mains input lines carrying operating
current. For more information, see all information in the section Fuse
Req
uirements starting on page 29.
