Safety and application notes for Lenze controllers
(in conformity with the Low-Voltage Directive 73/23/EEC)
General
Lenze controllers (frequency inverters, servo inverters, DC controllers) can include live and rotating
parts - depending on their type of protection - during operation. Surfaces can be hot.
Non-authorized removal of the required cover, inappropriate use, incorrect installation or operation,
creates the risk of severe injury to persons or damage to material assets.
For more detailed information please see the documentation.
All operations concerning transport, installation, and commissioning as well as maintenance must
be carried out by qualified, skilled personnel (IEC 364 or CENELEC HD 384 or DIN VDE 0100 and
IEC report 664 or DIN VDE 0110 and national regulations for the prevention of accidents must be
observed).
According to this basic safety information qualified skilled personnel are persons who are familiar
with the installation, assembly, commissioning, and operation of the product and who have the
qualifications necessary for their occupation.
Application as directed
Drive controllers are components which are designed for installation in electrical systems or
machinery. They are not to be used as household appliances. They are intended exclusively for
professional and commercial purposes according to EN 61000-3-2. This documentation includes
information in compliance with the EN 61000-3-2.
When installing the drive controllers in machines, commissioning (i.e. starting of operation as
directed) is prohibited until it is proven that the machine complies with the regulations of the EC
Directive 98/37/EC (Machinery Directive); EN 60204 must be observed.
Commissioning (i.e. starting of operation as directed) is only allowed when there is compliance with
the EMC Directive (89/336/EEC).
The drive controllers meet the requirements of the Low-Voltage Directive 73/23/EEC. The
harmonised standards of the series EN 50178/DIN VDE 0160 apply to the controllers.
The technical data and information on the connection conditions must be obtained from the
nameplate and the documentation. They must be observed in any case.
Warning: The availability of controllers is restricted according to EN 61800-3. These products can
cause radio interferences in residential areas. In this case, special measures are required.
Transport, storage
Please observe the notes on transport, storage and appropriate handling.
Observe the climatic conditions according to EN 50178.
