1. Safety Warnings
1.1. Important Safety Information
Please read the IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION below, and all Warning and Caution information elsewhere.
Danger: Indicates a risk of electric shock, which,
if not avoided, could result in damage to the
equipment and possible injury or death.
This variable speed drive product (Optidrive) is intended for
professional incorporation into complete equipment or systems
as part of a fixed installation. If installed incorrectly it may present
a safety hazard. The Optidrive uses high voltages and currents,
carries a high level of stored electrical energy, and is used to
control mechanical plant that may cause injury. Close attention
is required to system design and electrical installation to avoid
hazards in either normal operation or in the event of equipment
malfunction. Only qualified electricians are allowed to install
and maintain this product.
System design, installation, commissioning and maintenance
must be carried out only by personnel who have the necessary
training and experience. They must carefully read this safety
information and the instructions in this Guide and follow all
information regarding transport, storage, installation and use of
the Optidrive, including the specified environmental limitations.
Do not perform any flash test or voltage withstand test on the
Optidrive. Any electrical measurements required should be
carried out with the Optidrive disconnected.
Electric shock hazard! Disconnect and ISOLATE the Optidrive
before attempting any work on it. High voltages are present
at the terminals and within the drive for up to 10 minutes after
disconnection of the electrical supply. Always ensure by using a
suitable multimeter that no voltage is present on any drive power
terminals prior to commencing any work.
Where supply to the drive is through a plug and socket
connector, do not disconnect until 10 minutes have elapsed after
turning off the supply.
Ensure correct earthing connections. The earth cable must
be sufficient to carry the maximum supply fault current which
normally will be limited by the fuses or MCB. Suitably rated
fuses or MCB should be fitted in the mains supply to the drive,
according to any local legislation or codes.
Ensure correct earthing connections and cable selection as per
defined by local legislation or codes. The drive may have a
leakage current of greater than 3.5mA; furthermore the earth
cable must be sufficient to carry the maximum supply fault current
which normally will be limited by the fuses or MCB. Suitably
rated fuses or MCB should be fitted in the mains supply to the
drive, according to any local legislation or codes.
Do not carry out any work on the drive control cables whilst
power is applied to the drive or to the external control circuits.
Danger: Indicates a potentially hazardous situation
other than electrical, which if not avoided, could
result in damage to property.
Within the European Union, all machinery in which this product
is used must comply with Directive 2006/42/EC, Safety of
Machinery. In particular, the machine manufacturer is responsible
for providing a main switch and ensuring the electrical equipment
complies with EN60204-1.
The level of integrity offered by the Optidrive control input
functions – for example stop/start, forward/reverse and
maximum speed is not sufficient for use in safety-critical
applications without independent channels of protection. All
applications where malfunction could cause injury or loss of
life must be subject to a risk assessment and further protection
provided where needed.
The driven motor can start at power up if the enable input signal
is present.
The STOP function does not remove potentially lethal high
voltages. ISOLATE the drive and wait 10 minutes before starting
any work on it. Never carry out any work on the Drive, Motor or
Motor cable whilst the input power is still applied.
The Optidrive can be programmed to operate the driven motor
at speeds above or below the speed achieved when connecting
the motor directly to the mains supply. Obtain confirmation from
the manufacturers of the motor and the driven machine about
suitability for operation over the intended speed range prior to
machine start up.
Do not activate the automatic fault reset function on any systems
whereby this may cause a potentially dangerous situation.
IP20 drives must be installed in a pollution degree 2
environment, mounted in a cabinet with IP54 or better.
Optidrives are intended for indoor use only.
When mounting the drive, ensure that sufficient cooling is provided.
Do not carry out drilling operations with the drive in place, dust
and swarf from drilling may lead to damage.
The entry of conductive or flammable foreign bodies should be
prevented. Flammable material should not be placed close to
the drive
Relative humidity must be less than 95% (non-condensing).
Ensure that the supply voltage, frequency and no. of phases (1 or
3 phase) correspond to the rating of the Optidrive as delivered.
Never connect the mains power supply to the Output terminals
U, V, W.
Do not install any type of automatic switchgear between the
drive and the motor.
Wherever control cabling is close to power cabling, maintain
a minimum separation of 100 mm and arrange crossings
at 90 degrees. Ensure that all terminals are tightened to the
appropriate torque setting.
Do not attempt to carry out any repair of the Optidrive. In
the case of suspected fault or malfunction, contact your local
Invertek Drives Sales Partner for further assistance.
