Safety
WARNING!
DANGEROUS ELECTRICAL VOLTAGE!
Before commencing the installation
•
Disconnect the power supply of the device
•
Ensure that devices cannot be accidentally restarted
•
Verify isolation from the supply
•
Earth and short circuit the device
•
Cover or enclose any adjacent live components
•
Only suitably qualified personnel in accordance with
EN 50110-1/-2 (VDE 0105 Part 100) may work on this
device/system
•
Before installation and before touching the device ensure
that you are free of electrostatic charge
•
The functional earth (FE, PES) must be connected to
the protective earth (PE) or the potential equalization.
The system installer is responsible for implementing
this connection
•
Connecting cables and signal lines should be installed so
that inductive or capacitive interference does not impair
the automation functions
•
Install automation devices and related operating
elements in such a way that they are well protected
against unintentional operation
•
Suitable safety hardware and software measures should
be implemented for the I/O interface so that an open
circuit on the signal side does not result in undefined
states in the automation devices
•
Ensure a reliable electrical isolation of the extra-low
voltage of the 24V supply. Only use power supply units
complying with IEC 60364-4-41 (VDE 0100 Part 410) or
HD384.4.41 S2
•
Deviations of the input voltage from the rated value
must not exceed the tolerance limits given in the
specifications, otherwise this may cause malfunction and
dangerous operation
•
Emergency stop devices complying with IEC/EN
60204-1 must be effective in all operating modes of the
automation devices. Unlatching the emergency-stop
devices must not cause a restart
•
Devices that are designed for mounting in housings or
control cabinets must only be operated and controlled
after they have been installed and with the housing
closed. Desktop or portable units must only be operated
and controlled in enclosed housings
•
Measures should be taken to ensure the proper restart of
programs interrupted after a voltage DIP or failure.
This should not cause dangerous operating states even
for a short time. If necessary, emergency-stop devices
should be implemented
•
Wherever faults in the automation system may cause
injury or material damage, external measures must be
implemented to ensure a safe operating state in the
event of a fault or malfunction (for example, by means of
separate limit switches, mechanical interlocks, and so on)
•
Depending on their degree of protection, adjustable
frequency drives may contain live bright metal parts,
moving or rotating components, or hot surfaces during
and immediately after operation
•
Removal of the required covers, improper installation,
or incorrect operation of motor or adjustable frequency
drive may cause the failure of the device and may lead to
serious injury or damage
•
The applicable national accident prevention and safety
regulations apply to all work carried out on live adjustable
frequency drives
•
The electrical installation must be carried out in
accordance with the relevant regulations (for example,
with regard to cable cross sections, fuses, PE)
•
Transport, installation, commissioning, and maintenance
work must be carried out only by qualified personnel
(IEC 60364, HD 384 and national occupational
safety regulations)
•
Installations containing adjustable frequency drives must
be provided with additional monitoring and protective
devices in accordance with the applicable safety
regulations. Modifications to the adjustable frequency
drives using the operating software are permitted
•
All covers and doors must be kept closed
during operation
•
To reduce hazards for people or equipment, the user
must include in the machine design measures that
restrict the consequences of a malfunction or failure of
the drive (increased motor speed or sudden standstill of
motor). These measures include:
•
Other independent devices for monitoring safety-related
variables (speed, travel, end positions, and so on)
•
Electrical or non-electrical system-wide measures
(electrical or mechanical interlocks)
•
Never touch live parts or cable connections of
the adjustable frequency drive after it has been
disconnected from the power supply. Due to the
charge in the capacitors, these parts may still be live
after disconnection. Fit appropriate warning signs
