12 Safety Instruction and Application Advice
In general, the operation can be made with residual current operated devices. Nev-
ertheless, like all clocked units of the power electronics, also SIEB & MEYER´s prod-
ucts can lead leakage currents via the earth system. Depending on the sensitivity of
the residual current operated device and the installation type, the operation along
with the device may arise problems. The following points should be taken into con-
sideration:
X Use shortest motor leads possible.
X Do not connect additional consumers to the same residual current operated de-
vice.
X Use a residual current operated device with high response threshold for the sep-
arate power supply, e.g. 300 mA.
2.6 Operation
Systems, into which servo amplifiers and frequency converters are mounted, possi-
bly must be equipped with additional protective devices according to the valid safety
instructions (e.g. law about technical material, rules for prevention of accidents,
etc.).
All doors and covers must be closed during the operation.
2.7 Maintenance
The unit, especially the fan, must be checked regularly for cleanness and function
depending on the ambient pollution.
2.8 Disposal
X SIEB & MEYER products fulfill the requirements covered in the Directive
2002/95/EC on the restriction of the use of hazardous substances in electrical
and electronic equipment (RoHS Directive).
Make sure that the country-specific waste and disposal laws and statutes are con-
sidered for the disposal of packing material and irreparable devices.
Warning
In order to ensure a trouble-free operation of the installation, the fix-
ing all front panels and housing parts must always be tightened!
