4.1 Safety Precautions for STO
Qualified personnel
Only qualified personnel are allowed to install or operate
this equipment.
Qualified personnel are defined as trained staff, who are
authorized to install, commission, and maintain equipment,
systems, and circuits in accordance with pertinent laws and
regulations. Also, the personnel must be familiar with the
instructions and safety measures described in this manual.
NOTICE
After installation of STO, perform a commissioning test
as specified in
chapter 4.3.3 STO Commissioning Test
. A
passed commissioning test is mandatory after first instal-
lation and after each change to the safety installation.
WARNING
RISK OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK
The STO function does NOT isolate mains voltage to the
frequency converter or auxiliary circuits, and therefore
does not provide electrical safety. Failure to isolate the
mains voltage supply from the unit and wait the time
specified could result in death or serious injury.
•
Perform work on electrical parts of the
frequency converter or the motor only after
isolating the mains voltage supply and waiting
the discharge time specified in
chapter Safety

NOTICE
When designing the machine application, consider the
timing and distance for a coast to stop (STO). For more
information regarding stop categories, refer to EN
60204-1.
4.2 Safe Torque Off Installation
For motor connection, AC mains connection, and control
wiring, follow the instructions for safe installation in
chapter 2.2 Electrical Installation
Enable the integrated STO as follows:
1.
Remove the jumper between control terminals 12
(24 V), 37, and 38. Cutting or breaking the jumper
is not sufficient to avoid short-circuiting. See the
jumper in
130BE213.10
Illustration 4.3 Jumper between Terminal 12 (24 V), 37, and 38
2.
Connect a dual-channel safety device (for
example safety PLC, light curtain, safety relay, or
emergency stop button) to terminals 37 and 38
to form a safety application. The device must
comply with the required safety level based on
the hazard assessment.
