Safety Information
DANGER! - Ignoring the following may result in injury
1. This equipment can endanger life by
exposure to rotating machinery and high
voltages.
2. The equipment must be permanently
earthed due to the high earth leakage
current, and the drive motor must be
connected to an appropriate safety earth.
3. Ensure all incoming supplies are isolated
before working on the equipment. Be
aware that there may be more than one
supply connection to the drive.
4. There may still be dangerous voltages
present at power terminals (motor output,
supply input phases, DC bus and the
brake, where fitted) when the motor is at
standstill or is stopped.
5. For measurements use only a meter to IEC
61010 (CAT III or higher). Always begin using
the highest range.
CAT I and CAT II meters must not be used on
this product.
6. Allow at least 5 minutes for the drive's
capacitors to discharge to safe voltage levels
(<50V). Use the specified meter capable of
measuring up to 1000V dc & ac rms to confirm
that less than 50V is present between all
power terminals and between power terminals
and earth.
7. Unless otherwise stated, this product must
NOT be dismantled. In the event of a fault the
drive must be returned. Refer to "Routine
Maintenance and Repair".
WARNING! - Ignoring the following may result in injury or damage to equipment
SAFETY
Where there is conflict between EMC and Safety requirements, personnel safety shall
always take precedence.
•
Never perform high voltage resistance
checks on the wiring without first
disconnecting the drive from the circuit
being tested.
•
Whilst ensuring ventilation is sufficient,
provide guarding and /or additional
safety systems to prevent injury or
damage to equipment.
•
When replacing a drive in an application
and before returning to use, it is
essential that all user defined
parameters for the product’s operation
are correctly installed.
•
All control and signal terminals are SELV, i.e.
protected by double insulation. Ensure all
external wiring is rated for the highest system
voltage.
•
Thermal sensors contained within the motor
must have at least basic insulation.
•
All exposed metalwork in the Inverter is
protected by basic insulation and bonded to a
safety earth.
•
RCDs are not recommended for use with this
product but, where their use is mandatory,
only Type B RCDs should be used.
EMC
•
In a domestic environment this product
may cause radio interference in which
case supplementary mitigation measures
may be required.
•
This equipment contains electrostatic
discharge (ESD) sensitive parts. Observe
static control precautions when handling,
installing and servicing this product.
•
This is a product of the restricted sales
distribution class according to IEC 61800-3.
It is designated as “professional equipment”
as defined in EN61000-3-2. Permission of
the supply authority shall be obtained before
connection to the low voltage supply.
