EDK82EV113 EN 4.0

Installation

The controllers must be installed and cooled according to the instructions given in the
corresponding documentation.
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 electrostatic sensitive devices which can easily be damaged by
inappropriate handling. Do not damage or destroy any electrical components since this
might endanger your health!

Electrical connection

When working on live controllers, observe the applicable national regulations for the
prevention of accidents (e.g. VBG 4).
The electrical installation must be carried out according to the appropriate regulations
(e.g. cable cross−sections, fuses, PE connection). Additional information can be obtained
from the documentation.
This documentation contains information on installation in compliance with EMC
(shielding, earthing, filter, and cables). These notes must also be observed for CE−marked
controllers. The manufacturer of the system is responsible for compliance with the limit
values demanded by EMC legislation. The controllers must be installed in housings (e.g.
control cabinets) to meet the limit values for radio interferences valid at the site of
installation. The housings must enable an EMC−compliant installation. Observe in
particular that e.g. the control cabinet doors have a circumferential metal connection to
the housing. Reduce housing openings and cutouts to a minimum.
Lenze controllers can cause a direct current in the protective conductor. If a residual current
device (RCD) is used as a protective means in case of direct or indirect contact, only a
residual current device (RCD) of type B may be used on the current supply side of the
controller. Otherwise, another protective measure such as separation from the
environment through double or reinforced insulation or disconnection from the mains by
means of a transformer must be applied.

Operation

If necessary, systems including controllers must be equipped with additional monitoring
and protection devices according to the valid safety regulations (e.g. law on technical
equipment, regulations for the prevention of accidents). The controllers can be adapted to
your application. Please observe the corresponding information given in the
documentation.
After the controller has been disconnected from the supply voltage, all live components
and power connections must not be touched immediately because capacitors can still be
charged. Please observe the corresponding stickers on the controller.
All protection covers and doors must be shut during operation.
Notes for UL−approved systems with integrated controllers: UL warnings are notes that
only apply to UL systems. The documentation contains special UL notes.

Safety functions

Special controller variants support safety functions (e.g. "safe torque off", formerly "safe
standstill") according to the requirements of appendix I No. 1.2.7 of the EC Directive
"Machinery" 98/37/EC, EN 954−1 category 3 and EN 1037. Strictly observe the notes on the
safety functions given in the documentation on the respective variants.
