Safety information
1.1
Warnings, cautions and notes
1.2
Important safety information. Hazards. Competence of
designers and installers
This guide applies to products which control electric motors either directly (drives) or
indirectly (controllers, option modules and other auxiliary equipment and accessories).
In all cases the hazards associated with powerful electrical drives are present, and all
safety information relating to drives and associated equipment must be observed.
Specific warnings are given at the relevant places in this guide.
Drives and controllers are intended as components for professional incorporation into
complete systems. If installed incorrectly they 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, commissioning/
start-up and maintenance must be carried out by personnel who have the necessary
training and competence. They must read this safety information and this guide
carefully.
1.3
Responsibility
It is the responsibility of the installer to ensure that the equipment is installed correctly
with regard to all instructions given in this guide. They must give due consideration to
the safety of the complete system, so as to avoid the risk of injury both in normal
operation and in the event of a fault or of reasonably foreseeable misuse.
The manufacturer accepts no liability for any consequences resulting from
inappropriate, negligent or incorrect installation of the equipment.
1.4
Compliance with regulations
The installer is responsible for complying with all relevant regulations, such as national
wiring regulations, accident prevention regulations and electromagnetic compatibility
(EMC) regulations. Particular attention must be given to the cross-sectional areas of
conductors, the selection of fuses or other protection, and protective ground (earth)
connections.
