Safety information
Safety and application notes
for controller
(according to: Low voltage directive 2006/95/EG)
1.
General
During operation, power feed/feedback 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, in-
correct 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 commission-
ing 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 regula-
tions for the preventions of accidents must be observed).
According to this basic safety information qualified skilled per-
sonnel 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
Power feed/feedback units are components which are designed for
installation in electrical systems or machinery.
When installing in machines, commissioning of the power
feed/feedback unit (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 2006/42/EG (Machinery Direc-
tive); EN 60204 must be observed.
Commissioning (i.e. starting operation as directed) is only allowed
when there is compliance with the EMC-Directive 2004/108/EG).
The power feed/feedback units meet the requirements of the Low-
Voltage Directive (2006/95/EEC). The harmonized standards of
the prEN 50178/DIN VDE 0160 series together with EN 60439-
1/DIN VDE 0660 part 500 and EN 60146/DIN VDE 0558 are ap-
plicable for the power feed/feedback unit. 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 ob-
served.
At non-observance any warranty expires.
The power feed/feedback unit has to be protected from inadmissi-
ble stress.
The transport is only valid in original packaging and in the thereon by
pictograms marked transport position.
In particular during transport and handling no components are al-
lowed to be bent 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.
Erection
The devices must be erected and cooled according to the regula-
tions of the corresponding documentation.
The power feed/feedback units must be protected from inappro-
priate loads. Particularly during transport and handling, compo-
nents must not be bent and / or isolating distances must not be
changed. Touching of electronic components and contacts must be
avoided.
Power feed/feedback units contain electro-statically sensitive
components which can easily be damaged by inappropriate han-
dling. Electrical components must not be damaged or destroyed
mechanically (health risk are possible!).
5.
Electrical Connection
When working on live power feed/feedback units, the valid na-
tional regulations for the prevention of accidents (e.g. VBG 4)
must be observed. Before any installation or connection works,
the pant has to be switched off and to be secured properly.
The electrical installation must be carried out according to the ap-
propriate regulations (e.g. cable cross-sections, fuses, PE-
connection). More detailed information is included in the docu-
mentation. When using the power feed/feedback unit with control-
lers without safe separation from the supply line (to VDE 0100)
all control wiring has to be include in further protective measures
(e.g. double insulated or shielded, grounded and insulated).
Notes concerning the installation in compliance with EMC – such
as screening, grounding, arrangement of filters and laying of ca-
bles – are included in the chapter installation of this documenta-
tion. These notes must be also observed in all cases for power
feed/feedback units with the CE-mark. The compliance with the
required limit values demanded by the EMC legislation is the re-
sponsibility of the manufacturer of the system or machine.
6.
Operation
Systems where power feed/feedback units are installed, if appli-
cable, have to be equipped with additional monitoring and protec-
tive devices according to the valid safety regulations e.g. law on
technical tools, regulations for the prevention of accidents, etc. .
After disconnecting the power feed/feedback unit from the supply
voltage, live parts of the power feed/feedback unit and power
connections must not be touched immediately, because of possi-
bly charged capacitors. For this, observe the corresponding labels
on the drive controllers.
During operation, all covers and doors must be closed.
7.
Maintenance and service
The manufacturer’s documentation must be observed.
This safety information must be kept
!
The product-specific safety and application notes in
these Operating Instructions must also be observed!
