General Safety Instructions and Information on Use
Warning!
The specifications and instructions contained in the documentation must be complied with
strictly during installation and commissioning. Before starting the relevant activity, read the
documentation carefully and comply with the safety instructions. The term “Qualified Staff”
refers to anybody who is familiar with the installation, assembly, commissioning and opera-
tion of the frequency inverter and has the proper qualification for the job.
2.1
General Information
Warning!
The DC-link circuit of the frequency inverter is charged during operation, i.e. there is always
the risk of contact with high voltage. Frequency inverters are used for driving moving parts
and they may become hot at the surface during operation.
Any unauthorized removal of the necessary covers, improper use, wrong installation or op-
eration may result in serious injuries or material damage.
In order to avoid such injuries or damage, only qualified technical staff may carry out the
transport, installation, commissioning, setup or maintenance work required. The standards
DIN EN 50178, IEC 60364 (Cenelec HD 384 or DIN VDE 0100), IEC 60664-1 (Cenelec HD
625 or VDE 0110-1), BGV A2 (VBG 4) as well as the applicable national regulations must be
complied with. The term „Qualified Staff“ refers to anybody who is familiar with the instal-
lation, assembly, commissioning and operation of the frequency inverter as well as the
possible hazards and has the proper qualification for the job.
Persons not familiar with the operation of the frequency inverter or children must not have
access to the device.
2.2
Designated use
Warning!
The frequency inverters are electrical drive components intended for installation in industrial
plants or machines. Commissioning and start of operation is not allowed until it has been
verified that the machine meets the requirements of the EC Machinery Directive
2006/42/EEC and DIN EN 60204. In accordance with the CE marking requirements, the
frequency inverters comply with the Low Voltage Directive 2006/95/EEC as well as DIN
EN 61800-5-1. The user shall be responsible for making sure that the requirements of the
EMC Directive 2004/108/EEC are met. Frequency inverters are only available at specialized
dealers and are exclusively intended for professional use as per DIN EN 61000-3-2.
Any use other than the use described above, will be considered as not in accordance with
the specified purpose and may result in the warranty becoming null and void.
The frequency inverters are also marked with the UL label according to UL508c, which
proves that they also meet the requirements of the CSA Standard C22.2-No. 14-95.
The technical data, connection specifications and information on ambient conditions are in-
dicated on the rating plate and in the documentation and must be complied with in any
case. Anyone involved in any kind of work at the device must have read the instructions
carefully and understood them before starting the work.
2.3
Transport and Storage
The frequency inverters must be transported and stored in an appropriate way. During transport and
storage the devices must remain in their original packaging.
The units may only be stored in dry rooms which are protected against dust and moisture and are
exposed to little temperature deviations only. Observe the conditions as per DIN EN 60721-3-1 for
storage, DIN EN 60721-3-2 for transport and the labeling on the packaging.
The duration of storage without connection to the permissible nominal voltage may not exceed one
year.
