1.1 Warnings, Cautions and Notes
1.1.1 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.
1.1.2 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 98/37/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
(89/336/EEC).
The drive controllers meet the requirements of the Low Voltage Directive 73/23/EEC. 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.
1.1.3 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.
