1. General
In operation, drive converters, depending on their degree
of protection, may have live, uninsulated, and possibly
also moving or rotating parts, as well as hot surfaces.
In case of inadmissible removal of the required covers, of
improper use, wrong installation or maloperation, there is
the danger of serious personal injury and damage to
property.
For further information, see documentation.
All operations serving
commissioning as well as maintenance are to be carried
out by skilled technical personnel (observe IEC 364 or
CENELEC HD 384 or DIN VDE 0100 and IEC Report
664 or DIN VDE 0110 and national accident prevention
rules).
For the purposes of these basic safety instructions,
"skilled technical personnel" means persons who are
familiar with the installation, mounting, commissioning
and operation of the product and have the qualifications
needed for the performance of their functions.
2. Intended use
Drive converters are components designed for inclusion
in electrical installations or machinery.
In case of installation in machinery, commissioning of the
drive converter (i.e. the starting of normal operation) is
prohibited until the machinery has been proved to
conform to the provisions of the EC directive 89/392/EEC
(Machinery Safety Directive - MSD). Account is to be
taken of EN 60204.
Commissioning (i.e. the start of normal operation) is
admissible only where conformity with the EMC directive
(89/336/EEC) has been established.
The drive converters meet the requirements of the low-
voltage directive 73/23/EEC. They are subject to the
harmonized standards of the series prEN 50178/DIN
VDE 0160 in conjunction with EN 60439-1/DIN VDE
0660 Part 500 and EN 60146/DIN VDE 0558.
The technical data as well as information concerning the
supply conditions shall be taken from the rating plate and
from the documentation and shall be strictly observed.
3. Transport, storage
The instructions for transport, storage and proper use
shall be complied with.
The climatic conditions shall be in conformity with prEN
50178.

Operating Instructions
4. Installation
The installation and cooling of the appliances shall be in
accordance with the specifications in the pertinent
documentation.
The drive converters shall be protected against
excessive strains. In particular, no components must be
bent and/or isolating distances altered in the course of
transportation or handling. No contact shall be made with
electronic components and contacts.
Drive converters contain
components which are liable to damage through
improper use. Electronic components must not be
mechanically damaged or destroyed (potential health
risks).
5. Electrical connection
When working on live drive converters, the applicable
national accident prevention rules (e.g. VBG 4) must be
complied with.
The electrical installation shall be carried out in
accordance with the relevant requirements (e.g. cross-
sectional areas of conductors, fusing, PE connection).
For further information, see documentation.
Instructions for the installation in accordance with EMC
requirements, such as screening, grounding, location of
filters and wiring, are contained in the drive converter
documentation. They must always be complied with, also
for drive converters bearing a CE marking. Observance
of the limit values required by the EMC law is the
responsibility of the manufacturer of the installation or
machine.
6. Operation
Installations which include drive converters shall be
equipped with additional monitoring and protective
devices in accordance with the relevant applicable safety
requirements, e.g. Act respecting technical equipment,
accident prevention rules, etc. Changes to the drive
converters by means of the operating software are
permissible.
After disconnection of the drive converters from the
voltage supply, live appliance parts and power terminals
must not be touched immediately because of possibly
energized capacitors. In this regard, the corresponding
signs and markings on the drive converter must be
respected.
During operation, all covers and doors shall be kept
closed.
7. Maintenance and servicing
The manufacturer's documentation shall be followed.
Keep these safety instructions in a safe place!
