The frequency converter is sold for installation in
a plant. It could be a production or a heating/
ventilation plant designed and installed by
professionals of the trade. The frequency
converter must be CE labelled under the EMC
directive. The finished plant does not require CE
marking. However, the installation must comply
with the essential requirements of the directive.
This is assumed by the use of appliances and
systems that are CE labelled under the EMC
directive.
1.4.3 Danfoss Frequency Converter and CE
Labelling
CE labelling is a positive feature when used for its original
purpose, that is, to facilitate trade within the EU and EFTA.
However, CE labelling may cover many different specifi-
cations. Check what a given CE label specifically covers.
The specifications covered can be very different and a CE
label may therefore give the installer a false feeling of
security when using a frequency converter as a component
in a system or an appliance.
Danfoss CE labels the frequency converters in accordance
with the Low Voltage Directive. This means that if the
frequency converter is installed correctly, Danfoss
guarantees compliance with the Low Voltage Directive.
Danfoss issues a declaration of conformity that confirms
our CE labelling in accordance with the Low Voltage
Directive.
The CE label also applies to the EMC directive when the
instructions for EMC-correct installation and filtering are
followed. On this basis, a declaration of conformity in
accordance with the EMC directive is issued.
The Design Guide offers detailed instructions for instal-
lation to ensure EMC-correct installation. Furthermore,
Danfoss specifies which our different products comply
with.
Danfoss provides other types of assistance that can help to
obtain the best EMC result.
1.4.4 Compliance with EMC Directive and
CE Labelling
The frequency converter is mostly used by professionals of
the trade as a complex component forming part of a larger
appliance, system, or installation. It must be noted that the
responsibility for the final EMC properties of the appliance,
system, or installation rests with the installer. As an aid to
the installer, EMC installation guidelines for the Power
Drive system are supplied. See
and
for standards and test levels. Compliance
with the standards and test levels stated for Power Drive
systems is achieved, provided that the EMC compliance
installation instructions are followed.

1.6 Disposal Instructions
Equipment containing electrical components
must not be disposed of together with domestic
waste.
It must be separately collected with electrical
and electronic waste according to local and
currently valid legislation.
1.7 Safety
Frequency converters contain high voltage components
and have the potential for fatal injury if handled
improperly. Only trained technicians should install and
operate the equipment. No repair work should be
attempted without first removing power from the
frequency converter and waiting the designated amount of
time for stored electrical energy to dissipate.
