2.1 General safety information
Safety and application notes for controllers
(to: Low-Voltage Directive 73/23/EEC)
1. General
During operation, drive controllers may have, according to their
type of protection, live, bare, insome cases alsomovable or
rotatingpartsaswellashotsurfaces.
Non-authorised removal of the required cover, inappropriate use,
incorrect installationor operation, creates the risk of severe injury
topersons ordamage tomaterial assets.
Further information can be obtained from the documentation.
All operations concerning transport, installation, and
commissioningas wellasmaintenance must be carriedout by
qualified, skilled personnel (IEC 364 and CENELEC HD 384 or DIN
VDE 0100 and IEC report 664 or DINVDE0110 andnational
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 erection,
assembly, commissioning, and operation of the product and who
have the qualifications necessary for their occupation.
2. Application as directed
Drive controllers are components which are designed for
installationinelectrical systems or machinery.
When installing in machines, commissioning of the drive
controllers (i.e. the starting of operation as directed)is prohibited
until it is proven that the machine corresponds to the regulations
of the EC Directive 89/392/EEC (MachineryDirective); EN60204
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 standardsof the EN50178/
DINVDE 0160 series together withEN 60439-1/DINVDE 0660
part 500 and EN60146/DINVDE 0558 are applicable todrive
controllers.
The technical data and information on the connection conditions
mustbe obtained fromthe nameplate and the documentation and
mustbe observed inallcases.
3. Transport,storage
Notes on transport, storage and appropriate handling must be
observed.
Climatic conditionsmust be observed according toEN50178.
4. Erection
The devices must be erected and cooled according to the
regulations of the corresponding documentation.
The drive controllers must be protected from inappropriate loads.
Particularly during transport and handling, components must not
be bent and/or isolating distances must not be changed. Touching
of electronic componentsandcontacts must be avoided.
Drive controllers contain electrostatically sensitive components
which can easily be damaged by inappropriate handling. Electrical
componentsmustnot be damaged or destroyed mechanically
(health risks are possible!).
5. Electrical connection
When working on live drive controllers, the valid national
regulations for the prevention of accidents (e.g. VBG 4) must be
observed.
The electricalinstallation must be carriedoutaccording tothe
appropriate regulations (e.g. cable cross-sections, fuses, PE
connection). More detailed information is included in the
documentation.
Notes concerning the installation in compliance with EMC - such
as screening, grounding, arrangement of filters and laying of
cables - are included in the documentation of the drive controllers.
These notes must also be observed in all cases for drive
controllers with the CE mark. The compliance with the required
limit values demanded by the EMC legislation is the responsibility
of the manufacturerof the systemor machine.
6. Operation
Systems where drive controllers are installed must be equipped, if
necessary, with additional monitoring and protective devices
according to the valid safety regulations, e.g. law on technical
tools, regulations for the prevention of accidents, etc.
Modifications of the drive controllers by the operating software are
allowed.
After disconnecting the drive controllers from the supply voltage,
live parts of the controller and power connections must not be
touched immediately, because of possibly charged capacitors. For
this, observe the corresponding labels on the drive controllers.
During operation, all covers and doors must be closed.
7.Maintenance and servicing
The manufacturer’s documentation must be observed.
This safety information must be kept!
The product-specific safety and application notes in these Operating Instructions must also be observed!
