Eurotherm Drives Responsibility
You intend to use the unit as
relevant apparatus.
When the unit is factory-fitted with the internal EMC filter and installed following EMC
installation instructions, it complies with the relevant standards indicated in the following tables.
The relevant declarations are to be found at the end of this chapter. The CE mark is displayed on
the EC Declaration of Conformity (EMC Directive) provided at the end of this chapter.

Customer Responsibility
You intend to use the unit as a
component,
therefore you have a choice:
1.
To use the factory-fitted internal EMC filter following EMC installation instructions, which
may help you gain EMC compliance for the final machine/system.
Note:
An external filter may be used with units not fitted with the internal filter,
however, due to the variables in your system Eurotherm cannot
recommend a particular filter.
2.
To use a unit without an internal filter, but use a combination of global or local filtering and
screening methods, natural migration through distance, or the use of distributed parasitic
elements of the existing installation.
Note:
When two or more EMC compliant components are combined to form the final
machine/system, the resulting machine/system may no longer be compliant, (emissions
tend to be additive, immunity is determined by the least immune component). Understand
the EMC environment and applicable standards to keep additional compliance costs to a
minimum.
Applying for CE Marking for EMC
We have supplied a Manufacturer’s EMC Declaration at the end of this chapter that you can use
as a basis for your own justification of overall compliance with the EMC directive. There are
three methods of demonstrating conformity:
1.
Self-certification to a relevant standard
2.
Third party testing to a relevant standard
3.
Writing a technical construction file stating the technical rationale as to why your final
machine/system is compliant. An EMC “competent body” must then assess this and issue a
technical report or certificate to demonstrate compliance.
Refer to Article 10(2) of Directive 89/336/EEC.
With EMC compliance, an EC Declaration of Conformity and the CE mark will be issued for
your final machine/system.

Which Standards Apply?
Power Drive Product Specific or Generic Standards
The standards that may apply to this unit come under two broad categories:
1.
Emission - these standards limit the interference caused by operating (this) drive module.
2.
Immunity - these standards limit the effect of interference (on this unit) from other electrical
and electronic apparatus.
