Safety and operating instructions
3.1 General
Warning:
During assembly and operation, STEVAL-IHM017V1
evaluation board poses several inherent hazards, including
bare wires, moving or rotating parts, and hot surfaces. There
is danger of serious personal injury and damage to property,
if the kit or its components are improperly used or installed
incorrectly.
All operations involving transportation, installation and use, as well as maintenance are to
be carried out by skilled technical personnel (national accident prevention rules must be
observed). For the purposes of these basic safety instructions, "skilled technical personnel"
are suitably qualified people who are familiar with the installation, use, and maintenance of
power electronic systems.
3.2
Evaluation board intended use
The STEVAL-IHM017V1 evaluation board is a component designed for demonstration
purposes only, and shall not be used for electrical installation or machinery. The technical
data as well as information concerning the power supply conditions shall be taken from the
documentation and strictly observed.
3.3 Evaluation
board
installation
The installation and cooling of the demonstration kit boards shall be in accordance with the
specifications and the targeted application (see
Section 8: Motor control operations on
).
The motor drive converters shall be protected against excessive strain. In particular, no
components are to be bent, or isolating distances altered during the course of transportation
or handling.
No contact shall be made with other electronic components and contacts.
The boards contain electrostatically sensitive components that are prone to damage through
improper use. Electrical components must not be mechanically damaged or destroyed (to
avoid potential health risks).
3.4 Electronic
connections
Applicable national accident prevention rules must be followed when working on the main
power supply with a motor drive. The electrical installation shall be completed in accordance
