Instructions
2.1 General
Danger to Life
The directions in this chapter must be absolutely observed for the following
reasons:
– Safety for people and machines
– Function and susceptibility to faults
– Guarantee and warranties
Inverters/servo drives contain dangerous voltages which can cause death or
serious injury. Care should be taken to ensure correct and safe operation to
minimise risk to personnel and equipment.
All work from the transport, to installation and start-up as well as maintenance may
only be done by qualified personnel (IEC 364 and/or CENELEC HD 384 and IEC-
Report 664 and note national safety regulations). According to this manual qualified
staff means:
– those who are able to recognise and judge the possible dangers based on their
technical training and experience
– those with knowledge of the relevant standards and who are familiar with the
field of power transmission (VDE 0100, EN 50178, EN 60204 as well as the
approporiate regulations for your area).
Inverters/servo drives are designed for speed control of asynchronous and
permanent magnet motors, repsectively. Use for other purpose is not recommended
and may lead to equipment damage.
The inverter/servo drive must not be started until it is determined that the
installation complies with 89/392/EEC (machine directive) as well as the EMC-
directive (89/336/EEC)(note EN60204).
The frequency inverters/servo drives meet the requirements of the Low-Voltage
Directive 73/231/EEC. The harmonized standards of the series EN 50178 in
conenction with EN 60439-1 and EN 60146 were used.
Inverters/servo drives must be protected against physical damage during tranport,
installation and use. Components and covers must not be bent or moved as this
may affect insulation distances. The equipment must not be switched on if it is
damaged as it may no longer comply with mandatory standards.
This eqipment contains electrostatic sensitive devices which may be damaged by
careless handling.
Make sure that during installation there is enough minimum clearance and enough
cooling. Climatic conditions must be observed in accordance with EN 50178.
