For commissioning, please see the separate Commissioning Instructions.
1.1 Safety Instruction
a) Work on the Frequency Converter may only be carried out by qualified personnel.
All safety rules and regulations as may internationally and locally apply must be
strictly observed and all persons must have been informed of the dangers of electric
current.
b) When installing the Inverter, all relevant laws, safety regulations and procedures
as may apply must be followed, (including VDE 0160).
c) Electrical Energy may still be present in the Converter and the external braking
resistor, even after switching off, because off the charge in the intermediate circuit
condensors. This applies in particular when there is a defect in the system. An
appropriate safety warning is affixed to the unit and must also appear in the
operating instructions of the Elevator control.
d) The heat-sink in the unit may reach a temperature in excess of 60 degrees
Celsius during operation and shortly after switching off, may still retain this
temperature.
e) The housing of the braking resistor unit can exceed a temperature of 80 degrees
