Safety information
1.1
Warnings, cautions and notes
1.2
Electrical safety - general warning
The voltages used in the drive can cause severe electrical shock and/or burns, and could be lethal.
Extreme care is necessary at all times when working with or adjacent to the drive.
Specific warnings are given at the relevant places in this User Guide.
1.3
System design and safety of personnel
The drive is intended as a component for professional incorporation into complete equipment or a
system. If installed incorrectly, the drive may present a safety hazard.
The drive uses high voltages and currents, carries a high level of stored electrical energy, and is
used to control equipment which can cause injury.
Close attention is required to the electrical installation and the system design to avoid hazards
either in normal operation or in the event of equipment malfunction. System design, installation,
start up and maintenance must be carried out by personnel who have the necessary training and
experience. They must read this safety information and this User Guide carefully.
The STOP and Safe Torque Off functions of the drive do not isolate dangerous voltages from the
output of the drive or from any external option unit. The supply must be disconnected by an
approved electrical isolation device before gaining access to the electrical connections.
With the sole exception of the
Safe Torque Off function, none of the drive functions must be
used to ensure safety of personnel, i.e. they must not be used for safety-related functions.
Careful consideration must be given to the functions of the drive which might result in a hazard,
either through their intended behavior or through incorrect operation due to a fault. In any
application where a malfunction of the drive or its control system could lead to or allow damage,
loss or injury, a risk analysis must be carried out, and where necessary, further measures taken to
reduce the risk - for example, an over-speed protection device in case of failure of the speed
control, or a fail-safe mechanical brake in case of loss of motor braking.
The Safe Torque Off function may be used in a safety-related application.
The system designer is
responsible for ensuring that the complete system is safe and designed correctly according
to the relevant safety standards.
