Attentions and safety guidelines
Before installing the Bulletin 161 drive and putting it into operation, please read this user manual carefully and
take note of all the Attentions and safety guidelines. Always keep this product manual near the Bulletin 161
drive so that it is easily accessible.
Definition of the guidelines
ATTENTION
Failure to comply with these precautions may result in death, serious personal injury or substantial
damage to equipment.
General information
Conventions used in this manual
To help differentiate parameter names and selection tags from other text
the following conventions will be used:
•
parameter names will appear in italic (example: C22, d07 )
•
selection tags for inputs and outputs will appear in [brackets] (example: [RS], [CF1])
ATTENTION
•
This Bulletin 161 drive generates dangerous electrical voltages and controls potentially dangerous
rotating mechanical parts. Disregarding the guidelines provided in this manual may result in death,
serious personal injury or substantial damage to equipment.
•
The installation, commissioning and maintenance of these drives may only be carried out by
experienced personnel who are thoroughly familiar with the functioning of the equipment and the
entire machine.
•
The devices feature dc-bus capacitors that are live even when the mains supply is switched off. For
this reason wait at least 5 minutes after switching off the mains supply before you open the device
and start working on it. Take care that you do not touch any live parts.
•
The drive is intended to be installed with a fix connection to earth. The protective earth only offers
protection for the drive, not against personal injury. According to EN 50178 it is not recommended to
use the Bulletin 161 drives on protective fault current switches as, due to a possible DC component
(rectifier load), the sensitivity of the safety switch will be reduced in the event of a failure. If
unavoidable, only type B RCD’s should be used. As a precautionary measure, the EN 50178
regulations should be observed. The stop button on the integrated control panel may not be used
for emergency purposes. The stop button can be activated via parameter
b87 .
ATTENTION
Earth the Bulletin 161 drive at the connections intended for this.
