Approvals of the servo amplifiers
3.1.1
CE conformance
Conformance with the EC EMC Directive 2004/108/EC and the Low Voltage Directive
2006/95/EC is mandatory for the supply of servo amplifiers within the European Commu-
nity. Product standard EN 61800-3 is applied to ensure conformance with the EMC Direc-
tive. The Declaration of Conformity form can be found on our website (download area).
Concerning noise immunity the servo amplifier meets the requirements to the 2nd envi-
ronmental category (industrial environment). For noise emission the amplifier meets the
requirement to a product of the category C2 (motor cable
£
10m).
This product can cause high-frequency interferences in non industrial
environments which can require measures for interference suppression.
With a motor cable length from 10m onwards, the servo amplifier meets the requirement
to the category C3.
The servo amplifiers have been tested by an authorized testing laboratory in a defined
configuration, using the system components that are described in this documentation.
Any divergence from the configuration and installation described in this documentation
means that you will be responsible for carrying out new measurements to ensure confor-
mance with regulatory requirements. The standard EN 61800-5-1 is applied to ensure
conformance with the Low Voltage Directive.
3.1.2
Conformance with UL and cUL
This servo amplifier is listed under UL file number
E217428
.
UL (cUL)-certified servo amplifiers (Underwriters Laboratories Inc.) fulfil the relevant U.S.
and Canadian standard (in this case UL 840 and UL 508C).
This standard describes the fulfilment by design of minimum requirements for electrically
operated power conversion equipment, such as frequency converters and servo amplifi-
ers, which is intended to eliminate the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons,
being caused by such equipment. The technical conformance with the U.S. and Canadian
standard is determined by an independent UL (cUL) inspector through the type testing
and regular checkups.
Apart from the notes on installation and safety in the documentation, the customer does
not have to observe any other points in direct connection with the UL (cUL)-certification of
the equipment.
UL 508C
UL 508C describes the fulfilment by design of minimum requirements for electrically oper-
ated power conversion equipment, such as frequency converters and servo amplifiers,
which is intended to eliminate the risk of fire being caused by such equipment.
UL 840
UL 840 describes the fulfilment by design of air and insulation creepage spacings for
electrical equipment and printed circuit boards.
