Spread of fire from built-in devices
In the event of fire outbreak, the enclosures of built-in devices cannot prevent the escape of
fire and smoke. This can result in serious personal injury or property damage.
• Install built-in units in a suitable metal cabinet in such a way that personnel are
protected against fire and smoke, or take other appropriate measures to protect
personnel.
• Ensure that smoke can only escape via controlled and monitored paths.
Active implant malfunctions due to electromagnetic fields
Inverters generate electromagnetic fields (EMF) in operation. People with active implants in
the immediate vicinity of this equipment are at particular risk.
• As the operator of an EMF-emitting installation, assess the individual risks of persons
with active implants. The following clearances are usually adequate:
– No clearance to closed control cabinets and shielded MOTION-CONNECT supply
cables
– Forearm length (approx. 35 cm clearance) to distributed drive systems and open
Unexpected movement of machines caused by radio devices or mobile phones
When radio devices or mobile phones with a transmission power > 1 W are used in the
immediate vicinity of components, they may cause the equipment to malfunction.
Malfunctions may impair the functional safety of machines and can therefore put people in
danger or lead to property damage.
• If you come closer than around 2 m to such components, switch off any radios or mobile
phones.
• Use the "SIEMENS Industry Online Support app" only on equipment that has already
been switched off.
