General safety and application notes for Lenze controllers
(to: Low-Voltage Directive 73/23/EEC)
General
Lenze controllers (frequency inverters, servo inverters, DC controllers) and the accessory
components can include live and rotating parts - depending on their type of protection -
during operation. Surfaces can be hot.
Non-authorized removal of the required cover, inappropriate use, incorrect installation or
operation, create the risk of severe injury to persons or damage to material assets.
More information can be obtained from the documentation.
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 VDE 0110 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 assembly, installation, commissioning, and operation of the product and
who have the qualifications necessary for their occupation.
Application as directed
Drive controllers are components which are designed for installation in electrical systems
or machinery. They are not to be used as household appliances. They are intended
exclusively professional and commercial purposes according to EN 61000-3-2. The
documentation includes information on compliance with the EN 61000-3-2.
When installing the controllers into machines, commissioning (i.e. 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 of operation as directed) is only allowed when there is
compliance with the EMC Directive (89/336/EWG).
The 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 technical data and information on connection conditions must be obtained from the
nameplate and the documentation. They must be observed in any case.
Warning: The availability of controllers is restricted according to EN 61800-3. These
products can cause radio interferences in residential areas. In this case, special measures
are required.
Transport, storage
Please observe the notes on transport, storage and appropriate handling.
Observe the climatic conditions according to EN 50178.
