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-authorised 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 intended for installation in electrical systems or
machines. They are not household devices. Instead, they are exclusively intended for use
in accordance with EN 61000-3-2.
When installing the controllers into machines, commissioning (i.e. starting of operation
asdirected) 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 drive controllers meet the requirements of the Low-Voltage Directive 73/23/EWG. The
harmonised standard EN 61800-5-1 is applied to the drive 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 drive controllers are products that can be used in drive systems of Category
C2 according to EN 61800-3. These products can cause radio interferences in residential
areas. In this case, special measures are required.
