General Information
The manufacturer accepts no liability for any consequences resulting from inappropriate, negligent or
incorrect installation or adjustment of the optional parameters of the equipment or from mismatching
the variable speed drive with the motor.
The contents of this guide are believed to be correct at the time of printing. In the interests of
commitment to a policy of continuous development and improvement, the manufacturer reserves the
right to change the specification of the product or its performance, or the content of the guide without
notice.
All rights reserved. No parts of this guide may be reproduced or transmitted in any form or by any

Environmental Statement
Control Techniques is committed to minimising the environmental impacts of its manufacturing
operations and of its products throughout their life cycle. To this end, we operate an Environmental
Management System (EMS) which is certified to the International Standard ISO 14001. Further
information on the EMS, our Environment Policy and other relevant information is available on
request, or can be found at www.greendrives.com.
The electronic variable speed drives manufactured by Control Techniques have the potential to save
energy and (through increased machine/process efficiency) reduce raw material consumption and
scrap throughout their long working lifetime. In typical applications, these positive environmental
effects far outweigh the negative impacts of product manufacture and end-of-life disposal.
Nevertheless, when the products eventually reach the end of their useful life, they must not be
discarded but should instead be recycled by a specialist recycler of electronic equipment. Recyclers
will find the products easy to dismantle into their major component parts for efficient recycling. Many
parts snap together and can be separated without the use of tools, while other parts are secured with
conventional fasteners. Virtually all parts of the product are suitable for recycling.
Product packaging is of good quality and can be re-used. Large products are packed in wooden
crates, while smaller products come in strong cardboard cartons which themselves have a high-
recycled fibre content. If not re-used, these containers can be recycled. Polythene, used on the
protective film and bags from wrapping product, can be recycled in the same way. Control
Techniques' packaging strategy prefers easily recyclable materials of low environmental impact, and
regular reviews identify opportunities for improvement.
When preparing to recycle or dispose of any product or packaging, please observe local legislation
and best practice.
Software Statement
This Option module is supplied with the latest software version. When retro-fitting to an existing
system, all software versions should be verified to confirm the same functionality as Option modules
of the same type already present. This also applies to products returned from a Control Techniques
Service Centre or Repair Centre. If there is any doubt please contact the supplier of the product.
The software version of the Option module can be identified by looking at Pr
MM.002
where MM is
the relevant menu number for the Option module slot being used. See Pr
MM.002
description later in
this manual for more information. The software version takes the form of
ww.xx.yy.zz
seen in

REACH legislation
EC Regulation 1907/2006 on the Registration, Evaluation, Authorisation and restriction of Chemicals
(REACH) requires the supplier of an article to inform the recipient if it contains more than a specified
proportion of any substance which is considered by the European Chemicals Agency (ECHA) to be a
Substance of Very High Concern (SVHC) and is therefore listed by them as a candidate for
compulsory authorisation.
For current information on how this requirement applies in relation to specific Control Techniques
products, please approach your usual contact in the first instance. Control Techniques position
