Appendix: Safety and
application notes for
■
1. General
During operation, filter modules unit may have,
according to their type of protection, live, bare,
in some cases also movable or rotating parts
as well as hot surfaces.
Non - authorized removal of required cover,
inappropriate use, incorrect installation or operation,
creates the risk of severe injury to persons or
damage to material assets.
Further information can be obtained from
the documentation.
All operations concerning transport, installation and
commissioning as well as maintenance must be
carried out by qualified, skilled personnel (IEC 364 and
CENELEC HD 384 or DIN VDE 0100 and IEC-Report
664 or DIN VDE 0110 and national regulations for the
preventions of accidents must be observed).
According to this basic safety information qualified
skilled personnel are persons who are familiar with
the erection, assembly, commissioning and operation
of the product and who have the qualifications
necessary for their occupation .
■
2. Application as directed
Filter modules are components, which are designed
for installation in electrical systems or machinery.
When installing in machines, commissioning of
the filter modules (i.e. the starting of operation as
directed) is prohibited until it is proven, that the
machine corresponds to the regulations of the
EC Directive 83/392/EEC (Machinery Directive);
EN 60204 must be observed.
Commissioning (i.e. starting operation as directed)
is only allowed when there is compliance with
the EMC-Directive 89/336/EEC.
The filter modules meet the requirements of the
Low-Voltage Directive 73/23/EEC. The technical data
and information on the connection conditions must be
obtained from the nameplate and the documentation
and must be observed in all cases.
■
3. Transport, Storage
Notes on transport, storage and appropriate
handling must be observed.
The filter modules have to be protected from
inadmissible stress. In particular during transport
and handling no components are allowed to be bend
and / or isolating distances may not be altered.
The units are equipped with electrostatic sensitive
devices, which may be damaged by improper handling.
Therefore it has to be avoided to get in contact with
electronic components. If electronic components are
damaged mechanically the unit must not be put into
operation, as it cannot be ensured, that all relevant
standards are observed. Climatic conditions must
be observed according to prEN 50178.
■
4. Installation
The devices must be erected and cooled according to
the regulations of the corresponding documentation.
The filter modules must be protected from inappropriate
loads. Particularly during transport and handling,
components must not be bent and / or isolating
distances must not be changed. Touching of electronic
components and contacts must be avoided.
Filter modules contain electro-statically sensitive
components, which can easily be damaged by
inappropriate handling. Electrical components
must not be damaged or destroyed mechanically
(health risk are possible!).
■
5. Electrial Installation
When working on live filter modules, the valid national
regulations for the prevention of accidents (e.g.
VBG 4) must be observed. Before any installation
or connection works, the plant has to be switched
off and to be secured properly.
The electrical installation must be carried out
according to the appropriate regulations (e.g. cable
cross-sections, fuses, PE-connection). More detailed
information is included in the documentation. When
using the filter module with frequency converters
without safe separation from the supply line (to
VDE 0100) all control wiring has to be included in
further protective measures (e.g. double insulated
or shielded, grounded and insulated).
■
6. Operation
Systems where filter modules are installed, if applicable,
have to be equipped with additional monitoring
and protective devices according to the valid safety
regulations e.g. law on technical tools, regulations
for the prevention of accidents, etc.
