C.1 Outline
This section provides general information
regarding recommended methods of installation
for CE compliance. It is not intended as an
exhaustive guide to good practice and wiring
techniques. It is assumed that the installer of the
MicroFlex is sufficiently qualified to perform the
task, and is aware of local regulations and
requirements. Baldor products that meet the
EMC directive requirements are indicated with a
“CE” mark. A duly signed CE declaration of
conformity is available from Baldor.
C.1.1 EMC Conformity and CE marking
The information contained herein is for your guidance only and does not guarantee that the
installation will meet the requirements of the council directive 89/336/EEC.
The purpose of the EEC directives is to state a minimum technical requirement common to all
the member states within the European Union. In turn, these minimum technical requirements
are intended to enhance the levels of safety both directly and indirectly.
Council directive 89/336/EEC relating to Electro Magnetic Compliance (EMC) indicates that it
is the responsibility of the system integrator to ensure that the entire system complies with all
relative directives at the time of installing into service.
Motors and controls are used as components of a system, per the EMC directive. Hence all
components, installation of the components, interconnection between components, and
shielding and grounding of the system as a whole determines EMC compliance.
The CE mark informs the purchaser that the equipment has been tested and complies with the
appropriate standards. It rests upon the manufacturer or his authorized representative to
ensure the item in question complies fully with all the relative directives in force at the time of
installing into service, in the same way as the system integrator previously mentioned.
Remember that it is the instructions of installation and the product that should comply with the
directive.
C.1.2 MicroFlex compliance
When installed as directed in this manual, MicroFlex units meet the emission limits for an
‘industrial’ environment, as defined by the EMC directives (EN61000-6-4: 2001). To meet the
more stringent emission limits of the ‘residential, commercial and light industrial’ environment
(EN61000-6-3: 2001), the MicroFlex must be mounted in a suitable metal cabinet incorporating
360° screened cable glands.
