1.1. Important Safety Information
Please read the IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION below, and all Warning and Caution information elsewhere.
Danger: Indicates a risk of electric shock, which,
if not avoided, could result in damage to the
equipment and possible injury or death.
This variable speed drive product (BFI drive) is intended for
professional incorporation into complete equipment or systems
as part of a fixed installation. If installed incorrectly it may present
a safety hazard. The BFI drive uses high voltages and currents,
carries a high level of stored electrical energy, and is used to
control mechanical plant that may cause injury. Close attention
is required to system design and electrical installation to avoid
hazards in either normal operation or in the event of equipment
malfunction. Only qualified electricians are allowed to install and
maintain this product.
System design, installation, commissioning and maintenance must
be carried out only by personnel who have the necessary training
and experience. They must carefully read this safety information
and the instructions in this Guide and follow all information
regarding transport, storage, installation and use of the BFI drive,
including the specified environmental limitations.
Do not perform any flash test or voltage withstand test on the BFI
drive. Any electrical measurements required should be carried out
with the BFI drive disconnected.
Electric shock hazard! Disconnect and ISOLATE the BFI drive
before attempting any work on it. High voltages are present
at the terminals and within the drive for up to 10 minutes after
disconnection of the electrical supply. Always ensure by using a
suitable multimeter that no voltage is present on any drive power
terminals prior to commencing any work.
Where supply to the drive is through a plug and socket connector,
do not disconnect until 10 minutes have elapsed after turning off
the supply.
Ensure correct earthing connections and cable selection as
defined by local legislation or codes. The drive may have a
leakage current of greater than 3.5mA; furthermore the earth
cable must be sufficient to carry the maximum supply fault current
which normally will be limited by the fuses or MCB. Suitably rated
fuses or MCB should be fitted in the mains supply to the drive,
according to any local legislation or codes.
Do not carry out any work on the drive control cables whilst
power is applied to the drive or to the external control circuits.
The “Safe Torque Off” Function does not prevent high voltages
from being present at the drives power terminals.
Danger: Indicates a potentially hazardous situation
other than electrical, which if not avoided, could
result in damage to property.
Within the European Union, all machinery in which this product is used must
comply with the Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC, Safety of Machinery.
In particular, the machine manufacturer is responsible for ensuring that
the electrical equipment complies with EN60204-1 and providing a
disconnecting device which must be one of the following types:
A switch-disconnector, utilization category AC-23B (EN 60947-3).
A circuit breaker suitable for isolation in accordance with
EN 60947-2.
A disconnector with an integrated auxiliary contact that ensures under
all circumstances the switching devices break the load circuit prior to
opening of the main contacts of the disconnector (EN 60947-3).
For installation in other regions, conformance with local electrical
regulations and codes of practice must be adhered to.
The level of integrity offered by the BFI drive control input functions –
for example stop/start, forward/reverse and maximum speed, is not
sufficient for use in safety-critical applications without inDependent
channels of protection. All applications where malfunction could cause
injury or loss of life must be subject to a risk assessment and further
protection provided where needed.
The driven motor can start at power up if the enable input signal is present.
The STOP function does not remove potentially lethal high voltages.
ISOLATE the drive and wait 10 minutes before starting any work on it.
Never carry out any work on the Drive, Motor or Motor cable whilst
the input power is still applied.
The BFI drive can be programmed to operate the driven motor at
speeds above or below the speed achieved when connecting the
motor directly to the mains supply. Obtain confirmation from the
manufacturers of the motor and the driven machine about suitability for
operation over the intended speed range prior to machine start up.
Do not activate the automatic fault reset function on any systems
whereby this may cause a potentially dangerous situation.
IP55 and IP66 drives provide their own pollution degree 2
environments. IP20 drives must be installed in a pollution degree 2
environment, mounted in a cabinet with IP54 or better.
BFI drives are intended for indoor use only, useless specifically stated
as being suitable for installation outdoors and installed in accordance
with the Manufacturers guidelines.
When mounting the drive, ensure that sufficient cooling is provided. Do
not carry out drilling operations with the drive in place, dust and swarf
from drilling may lead to damage.
The entry of conductive or flammable foreign bodies should be
prevented. Flammable material should not be placed close to the drive.
Relative humidity must be less than 95% (non-condensing).
Ensure that the supply voltage, frequency and no. of phases (1 or 3
phase) correspond to the rating of the BFI drive as delivered.
Never connect the mains power supply to the Output terminals U, V, W.
Do not install any type of automatic switchgear between the drive and
the motor.
Wherever control cabling is close to power cabling, maintain a
minimum separation of 100 mm and arrange crossings at 90 degrees.
Ensure that all terminals are tightened to the appropriate torque setting.
Do not attempt to carry out any repair of the BFI drive. In the case of
suspected fault or malfunction, contact Beijer Electronics for further
assistance.
Do not operate the drive with any of the enclosure covers removed.
