9.2.2 Grounding using a make-proof grounding switch
The drive is equipped with a make-proof grounding switch (in compliance with the requirements
of IEC61800-5-1, Section 4.2.13).
You can close the make-proof grounding switch when the doors are closed and only at a
voltage below 60 V. If the auxiliary voltage fails completely, the make-proof grounding switch
cannot be closed. It is not permissible that you open the doors before the make-proof grounding
switch is closed.
WARNING
DC-link short-circuit
A DC-link short-circuit can occur if grounding under voltage. This can cause injury and
material damage.
Remove the socket wrench before switching on. This activates the interlocking.
To close the make-proof grounding switch, proceed as follows:
1. Take the socket wrench found in the tool set.
2. Turn the socket wrench in the counterclockwise direction.
The contacts are closed and the DC-link voltage is grounded.

electromechanical door interlocking system or optionally a safety locking system.
