2 Safety information
2.1 Safety and application notes for Lenze controllers
(to: Low-Voltage Directive 73/23/EEC)
1. General
During operation, drive controllers may have live, bare, in some
cases also movable or rotating parts as well as hot surfaces,
depending on their level of protection.
Non-authorized removal of the required cover, inappropriate use,
incorrect installation or operation, creates the risk of severe injury to
persons or damage to material assets.
For further information see the documentation.
All operations concerning transport, installation, and commissioning
as well as maintenance must be carried out by qualified, skilled
personnel (IEC 60364 or CENELEC HD384 or VDE 0100 and IEC
report 664 or VDE 0110 and national regulations for the prevention
of accidents must be observed).
According to this basic safety information qualified skilled personnel
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
Drive controllers are components which are designed for the
installation into electrical systems or machinery.
When installing in machines, commissioning of the drive controllers
(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 98/37/EEC (Machinery Directive); EN 60204 (VDE 0113)
must be observed.
Commissioning (i.e. starting of operation as directed) is only allowed
when there is compliance with the EMC Directive (89/336/EEC).
The controllers meet the requirements of the Low-Voltage Directive
73/23/EEC. The harmonized standards EN 50178 (VDE 0160) with EN
60439-1 (VDE 0660-500) and EN 60146 (VDE 0558) are applicable
to the controllers.
The technical data as well as the connection conditions can be
obtained from the nameplate and the documentation. They must be
observed in all cases.
3. Transport, storage
The notes on transport, storage and appropriate handling must be
observed.
The climatic conditions according to EN 50178 (VDE 0160) must be
observed. 4. Installation
The units must be installed and cooled according to the regulations
given in the corresponding documentation.
The controllers must be protected from inappropriate loads.
Particularly during transport and handling, components must not be
bent and/or insulation distances must not be changed. Avoid
touching of electronic components and contacts.
Controllers contain electrostatically sensitive components, which can
easily be damaged by inappropriate handling. Electrical components
may not be damaged or destroyed mechanically (health risks are
possible!) .
5. Electrical connection
When working on live controllers, the valid national regulations for
the prevention of accidents (e.g. VBG 4) must be observed.
Carry out the electrical installation in compliance with the
corresponding regulations (e.g. cable cross-sections, fuses, PE
connection). More detailed information is given in the corresponding
documentation and must be observed.
Notes about wiring according to EMC regulations, such as shielding,
grounding, filters and cable routing, are included in the
documentation for the controllers. These notes also apply to
CE-marked controllers. The compliance with limit values required by
the EMC legislation is the responsibility of the manufacturer of the
machine or system.
6. Operation
Systems where drive controllers are installed must be equipped, if
necessary, with additional monitoring and protective devices
according to the valid safety regulations, e.g. law on technical tools,
regulations for the prevention of accidents, etc. Modifications on the
controllers by means of the operating software are allowed.
After disconnection of the controllers from the supply voltage, live
parts of the controller and power connections may not be touched
immediately, because of possibly charged capacitors. For this
observe the corresponding notes on the controller.
During operation, all covers and doors must be closed.
7. Maintenance and service
Observe the manufacturer’s documentation.
These safety notes must be kept!
The product-specific safety and application notes given in these Operating Instructions must also be observed!
