General
Depending on their degree of protection, the BGF units may contain hot surfaces during operation. Unjustified removal of protection
devices, incorrect use, faulty installation or inappropriate operation could represent a serious risk to personnel, animals and equipment.
For further information, consult the manual.
All work relating to transportation, installation, commissioning and maintenance must be performed by experienced, qualified personnel.
In these basic safety instructions, qualified personnel means persons competent to install, mount, commission and operate the product
and possessing the relevant qualifications.
Use
The BGF units are components designed for integration in installations or electrical machines. When integrated in a machine,
commissioning must not take place until it has been verified that the machine conforms with directive 98/37/EC (Machinery Directive).
It is also necessary to comply with standard EN 60204, which stipulates in particular that electrical actuators (which include The BGF
unit) cannot be regarded as circuit-breaking devices and certainly not as isolating switches.
Commissioning can take place only if the requirements of the Electromagnetic Compatibility Directive (89/336/EEC, modified by 92/31/
EEC) are met.
The BGF units meet the requirements of the Low Voltage Directive 73/23/EEC, modified by 93/68/EEC. The harmonised standards of
the DIN VDE 0160 series in connection with standard VDE 0660, part 500 and EN 60146/ VDE 0558 are also applicable.
The technical characteristics and instructions concerning the connection conditions specified on the nameplate and in the
documentation provided must be observed without fail.
Transportation, storage
All instructions concerning transportation, storage and correct handling must be observed. The climatic conditions specified in the
technical manual must be observed.
Installation
The installation and cooling of equipment must comply with the specifications in the manual supplied with the product. The BGF units
must be protected against excessive stress. In particular, there must be no damage to parts and/or modification of the clearance
between components during transportation and handling. Avoid touching the electronic components and contact parts.
The BGF units contain parts which are sensitive to electrostatic stress and may be easily damaged if handled incorrectly. Electrical
components must not be exposed to mechanical damage or destruction (risks to health!).
Electrical connection
When work is performed on The BGF units which are powered up, national accident prevention specifications must be respected.
The electrical installation must comply with the relevant specifications (for example conductor cross-sections, protection via fused
circuit-breaker, connection of protective conductor). More detailed information is given in the manual.
Instructions for an installation which meets the requirements for electromagnetic compatibility, such as screening, earthing, presence
of filters and correct insertion of cables and conductors, are given in the documentation supplied with the BGF units. These instructions
must be followed in all cases, even if the BGF unit carries the CE mark.
Adherence to the limits given in the EMC legislation is the responsibility of the manufacturer of the installation or the machine.
Operation
Installations incorporating The BGF units must be fitted with additional protection and monitoring devices as laid down in the current
relevant safety regulations : law on technical equipment, accident prevention regulations, etc. Modification of the BGF units using
control software are permitted.
Active parts of the device and live power connections must not be touched immediately after the BGF unit is powered down, as the
capacitors may still be charged. In view of this, the warnings fixed to The BGF units must be observed.
During operation, all protective covers must remain closed.
Servicing and Maintenance
Refer to the manufacturer's documentation.
