Safety Information
1 Safety Information
1.1 General
Some parts of Lenze controllers (frequency inverters, servo inverters, DC controllers) can be live, moving and rotating.
Some surfaces can be hot.
Non-authorized removal of the required cover, inappropriate use, and incorrect installation or operation creates the risk
of severe injury to personnel or damage to equipment.
All operations concerning transport, installation, and commissioning as well as maintenance must be carried out by
qualified, skilled personnel (IEC 364 and CENELEC HD 384 or DIN VDE 0100 and IEC report 664 or DIN VDE0110 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.
1.2 Application
Drive controllers are components designed for installation in electrical systems or machinery. They are not to be used
as appliances. They are intended exclusively for professional and commercial purposes according to EN 61000-3-2.
The documentation includes information on compliance with EN 61000-3-2.
When installing the drive controllers in machines, commissioning (i.e. the starting of operation as directed) is prohibited
until it is proven that the machine complies with the regulations of the EC Directive 2006/42/EC (Machinery Directive);
EN 60204 must be observed.
Commissioning (i.e. starting drive as directed) is only allowed when there is compliance to the EMC Directive (2004/108/
EC).
The drive controllers meet the requirements of the Low Voltage Directive 2006/95/EC. The harmonised standards of the
series EN 50178/DIN VDE 0160 apply to the controllers.
The availability of controllers is restricted according to EN 61800-3. These products can cause radio interference
in residential areas. In the case of radio interference, special measures may be necessary for drive controllers.
1.3 Installation
Ensure proper handling and avoid excessive mechanical stress. Do not bend any components and do not change any
insulation distances during transport or handling. Do not touch any electronic components and contacts. Controllers
contain electrostatically sensitive components, which can easily be damaged by inappropriate handling. Do not damage
or destroy any electrical components since this might endanger your health! When installing the drive ensure optimal
airflow by observing all clearance distances in the drive's user manual. Do not expose the drive to excessive: vibration,
temperature, humidity, sunlight, dust, pollutants, corrosive chemicals or other hazardous environments.
1.4 Electrical Connection
When working on live drive controllers, applicable national regulations for the prevention of accidents (e.g. VBG 4) must
be observed.
The electrical installation must be carried out in accordance with the appropriate regulations (e.g. cable cross-sections,
fuses, PE connection). Additional information can be obtained from the regulatory documentation.
The regulatory documentation contains information about installation in compliance with EMC (shielding, grounding,
filters and cables). These notes must also be observed for CE-marked controllers. The manufacturer of the system or
machine is responsible for compliance with the required limit values demanded by EMC legislation.
