16  Hardware Installation Manual, 07/2009, A5E00807525B AD 
CAUTION 
 
Cable connection 
The control cables must be laid separately from the power cables. Carry out the 
connections as shown in the installation section in this manual, to prevent inductive and 
capacitive interference from affecting the correct function of the system. 
 
Mechanical Installation  
 
WARNING 
 
To ensure the safe operation of the equipment, it must be installed and commissioned by 
qualified personnel in full compliance with the warnings laid down in this manual. 
Take particular note of the general and regional installation and safety regulations 
regarding work on dangerous voltage installation (e.g. EN 61800-5-1) as well as the 
relevant regulations regarding the correct use of tools and personal protective equipment 
(PPE). 
 
Electrical Installation    
 
WARNING 
 
Power and motor connections 
A fixed location, non varying connection is necessary because of a leakage current 
> 3.5 mA.   
The inverter must always be grounded. If it is not grounded correctly, extremely dangerous 
conditions may arise which could prove potentially fatal. 
Isolate the mains electrical supply before making or changing connections to the unit. 
The terminals of the Inverter can carry dangerous voltages even if the inverter is 
inoperative. Wait at least 5 minutes to allow the unit to discharge after switching off the line 
supply before carrying out any installation work. 
When connecting the line supply to the inverter, make sure that the terminal case of the 
motor is closed. 
When changing from the ON to OFF-state of an operation if an LED or other similar display 
is not lit or active; this does not indicate that the unit is switched-off or powered-down. 
Ensure that the inverter is configured for the correct supply voltage – it must not be 
connected to a higher voltage supply. 
 
WARNING 
 
Filtered drives can only be used on power systems with grounded starpoint.
