• Throughout the manual, this symbol warns of
consequences which may arise from inappropriate
use of the drive, since electrical risks may lead to
material or physical damage as well as constituting a fire
hazard.
1 - General
Depending on their degree of protection, the variable speed
drives may contain unprotected live parts, which may be
moving or rotating, as well as hot surfaces, during operation.
Unjustified removal of protection devices, incorrect use, faulty
installation or inappropriate operation could represent a
serious risk to personnel and equipment.
For further information, consult the manual.
All work relating to transportation, installation, commissioning
and maintenance must be performed by experienced,
qualified personnel (see IEC 364 or CENELEC HD 384, or
DIN VDE 0100 and national specifications for installation and
accident prevention).
In these basic safety instructions, qualified personnel means
persons competent to install, mount, commission and operate
the product and possessing the relevant qualifications.
2 - Use
Variable speed drives are components designed for
integration in installations or electrical machines.
When integrated in a machine, commissioning must not take
place until it has been verified that the machine conforms
with directive 2006/42/EC (Machinery Directive). It is also
necessary to comply with standard EN 60204, which
stipulates in particular that electrical actuators (which include
v a r i a b l e s p e e d d r i v e s ) c a n n o t b e c o n s i d e r e d a s
circuit-breaking devices and certainly not as isolating
switches.
Commissioning can take place only if the requirements of the
Electromagnetic Compatibility Directive (EMC 2004/108/EC)
are met.
The variable speed drives meet the requirements of the Low
Voltage Directive 2006/95/EC, modified by 93/68/EEC. The
harmonised standards of the DIN VDE 0160 series in
connection with standard VDE 0660, part 500 and
EN 60146/VDE 0558 are also applicable.
The technical characteristics and instructions concerning the
connection conditions specified on the nameplate and in the
documentation provided must be observed without fail.
3 - Transportation, storage
All instructions concerning transportation, storage and correct
handling must be observed.
The climatic conditions specified in the technical manual must
be observed.
4 - Installation
The installation and cooling of equipment must comply with
the specifications in the manual supplied with the product.
The variable speed drives must be protected against any
excessive stress. In particular, there must be no damage to
parts and/or modification of the clearance between
components during transportation and handling. Avoid
touching the electronic components and contact parts.
The variable speed drives contain parts which are sensitive
to electrostatic stresses and may be easily damaged if
handled incorrectly. Electrical components must not be
exposed to mechanical damage or destruction (risks to
health!).
5 - Electrical connection
When work is performed on variable speed drives which are
powered up, the national accident prevention regulations
must be respected.
The electrical installation must comply with the relevant
specifications (for example conductor cross-sections,
protection via fused circuit-breaker, connection of protective
conductor). More detailed information is given in the manual.
Instructions for an installation which meets the requirements
for electromagnetic compatibility, such as screening,
earthing, presence of filters and correct insertion of cables
and conductors, are given in the documentation supplied with
the variable speed drives. These instructions must be
followed in all cases, even if the variable speed drive carries
the CE mark. Adherence to the limits given in the EMC
legislation is the responsibility of the manufacturer of the
installation or the machine.
6 - Operation
Installations in which variable speed drives are to be
integrated must be fitted with additional protection and
monitoring devices as laid down in the current relevant safety
regulations, such as the law on technical equipment, accident
prevention regulations, etc. Modifications to the variable
speed drives using control software are permitted.
Active parts of the device and the live power connections
must not be touched immediately after the variable speed
drive is powered down, as the capacitors may still be
charged. In view of this, the warnings fixed to the variable
speed drives must be observed.
During operation, all doors and protective covers must be
kept closed.
7 - Servicing and maintenance
Refer to the manufacturer's documentation.
This manual is to be given to the end user.
