Safety Instructions
ATTENTION: Identifies information about practices or circumstances that can lead to
personal injury or death, property damage, or economic loss.
Important: Identifies information that is critical for successful application and understanding of the
product.
ATTENTION: Before installing and/or operating this device, this manual must be
understood by the qualified electrical maintenance person who is familiar with this type of
equipment and the hazards involved. Failure to observe this precaution could result in
bodily injury.
ATTENTION: Earth fault detection devices must not be used on this converter as the sole
protection measure against unintentional touching. The DC-component in the earth fault
current may inhibit the correct function of the fault detector.
ATTENTION: Electronic converters cause disturbances to the supply network. The basic
version of this converter does not include any harmonic filters and may not fulfil the limits
of the national recommendations. The harmonic voltage disturbances produced by the
converter are dependent on the supply network impedance.
Machinery Directive
ATTENTION: This inverter device is a component intended for implementation in
machines or systems for the capital goods industry.
The start-up of the inverter in the European market is not permitted until it has been
confirmed that the machine into which the inverters are built is in conformance with the
regulations of the Council Directive Machinery 98/37/EWG.
ATTENTION: To inhibit uncontrolled machine operation in case of the malfunction of the
drive, the user must provide an external emergency stop circuit, which ensures
disconnection of the power source from the motor.
This circuit must be hardwired with electro-mechanic components and shall not depend
on electronic logic or software. The stopping device (e.g. mushroom head pushbutton
with lock) must be accessible to the operator.
Failure to observe this precaution could result in bodily injury or loss of life.
Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC-Directive)
ATTENTION: The operating of inverters in the European market is only permitted if the
Council Directive Electromagnetic Compatibility 89/336/EWG has been observed.
It is the responsibility of the manufacturer of the machine or system to observe the
immunity and emission limits, requested by the Council Directive EMC in the European
market. Guidelines for the installation according EMC-regulations - for shielding,
grounding, filter arrangement as well as wiring instructions - are summarized in
Appendix B, ‘CE-Conformance’ of this Instruction manual.
