Safety and application notes for Lenze controllers
(in conformity with Low−Voltage Directive 73/23/EEC)
General
Lenze controllers (frequency inverters, servo inverters, DC controllers) 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, creates the risk of severe injury to persons or damage to material assets.
For more detailed information please see 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 installation, assembly, 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 appliances. They are intended exclusively for
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 drive controllers in 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/EEC).
The drive 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 the 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 interference in residential areas. In this case, special measures
can be necessary.
