Installation
The controllers must be installed and cooled according to the regulations given in the

corresponding documentation.
Ensure careful handling andavoid mechanical overload. Donot bendany componentsand

do not change the insulation distances during transport and handling. Electronic

components and contacts must not be touched.
Drive controllers contain electrostatically sensitive components which can easily be

damaged by inappropriate handling. Do not damage or destroy any electrical components

since this could mean hazards to your health!

Electrical connection
When working on live drive controllers, the valid national regulations for the prevention

of accidents (e.g. VBG 4) must be observed.
Carry out the electrical installation in compliance with the corresponding regulations (e.g.

cable cross-sections, fuses, PE connection). More detailed information is given in the

corresponding documentation.
Notes about wiring according to EMC regulations (shielding, earthing, filters and cable

routing) are included in the documentation. These notes also apply to CE-marked

controllers. The compliance with limit values required by the EMC legislation is the

responsibility of the manufacturer of the machine or system.
In the case of a malfunction (short circuit to frame or earth fault), Lenze controllers can

cause a DC residual current in the protective conductor. If an earth-leakage circuit breaker

(residual current device) is used as a protective means in the case of direct or indirect

contact, only an e.l.c.b. of type B may be used on the current supply side. 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

used.

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 controller can be adapted to

your application. Please observe the corresponding information given in the

documentation.
After a controller has been disconnected from the voltage supply, 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.
