6 Safety and operating instructions

1. General
In operation, drive converters, depending on their degree of
protection, may have live, uninsulated, and possibly also moving
or rotating parts, as well as hot surfaces.
In case of inadmissible removal of the required covers, of
improper use, wrong installation or maloperation, there is the
danger of serious personal injury and damage to property.
For further information, see documentation.
All operations serving transport, installation and commissioninng
as well as maintenance are to be carried out by skilled technical
personnel (Observe IEC 364 or CENELEC HD 384 or DIN VDE
0100 and IEC 664 or DIN/VDE 0110 and national accident
prevention rules!).
For the purposes of these basic safety instructions, "skilled
technical personnel" means persons who are familiar with the
installation, mounting, commissioning and operation of the
product and have the qualifications needed for the performance
of their functions.
2. Intended use
Drive converters are components designed for inclusion in
electrical installations or machinery.
In case of installation in machinery, commissioning of the drive
converter (i.e. the starting of normal operation) is prohibited until
the machinery has been proved to conform to the provisions of
the directive 89/392/EEC (Machinery Safety Directive - MSD).
Account is to be taken of EN 60204.
Commissioning (i.e. the starting of normal opertion) is admissible
only where conformity with the EMC directive (89/336/EEC) has
been established.
The drive converters meet the requirements of the low-voltage
directive 73/23/EEC. They are subject to the harmonized stand-
ards of the series prEN 50178/DIN VDE 0160 in conjunction with
EN 60439-1/ VDE 0660, part 500, and EN 60146/ VDE 0558.
The technical data as well as information concerning the supply
conditions shall be taken from the rating plate and from the
documentation and shall be strictly observed.
3. Transport, storage
The instructions for transport, storage and proper use shall be
complied with.
The climatic conditions shall be in conformity with prEN 50178.

4. Installation
The installation and cooling of the appliances shall be in accord-
ance with the specifications in the pertinent documentation.
The drive converters shall be protected against excessive
strains. In particular, no components must be bent or isolating
distances altered in the course of transportation or handling. No
contact shall be made with electronic components and contacts.
Drive converters contain electrostatic sensitive components
which are liable to damage through improper use. Electric
components must not be mechanically damaged or destroyed
(potential health risks).
5. Electrical connection
When working on live drive converters, the applicable national
accident prevention rules (e.g. VBG 4) must be complied with.
The electrical installation shall be carried out in accordance with
the relevant requirements (e.g. cross-sectional areas of conduc-
tors, fusing, PE connection). For further information, see docu-
mentation.
Instructions for the installation in accordance with EMC require-
ments, like screening, earthing, location of filters and wiring, are
contained in the drive converter documentation. They must
always be complied with, also for drive converters bearing a CE
marking. Observance of the limit values required by EMC law is
the responsibility of the manufacturer of the installation or
machine.
6. Operation
Installations which include drive converters shall be equipped
with additional control and protective devices in accordance with
the relevant applicable safety requirements, e.g. Act respecting
technical equipment, accident prevention rules etc. Changes to
the drive converters by means of the operating software are
admissible.
After disconnection of the drive converter from the voltage supply,
live appliance parts and power terminals must not be touched
immediately because of possibly energized capacitors. In this
respect, the corresponding signs and markings on the drive
converter must be respected.
During operation, all covers and doors shall be kept closed.
7. Maintenance and servicing
The manufacturer's documentation shall be followed.
Keep safety instructions in a safe place!
