Safety and operating instructions for drive converters
in conformity with the low-voltage directive 73/23/EEC
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 transport, installation and 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 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 directive 89/392/EEC (Machinery Safety Directive - MSD).
Account is to be taken of EN 60204.
Commissioning (i.e. the starting 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.
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 or isolating
distances altered in the course of transportation or handling. No contact shall be made with electronic components and
contacts.
Drive converters contain electrostatic sensitive components which are liable to damage through improper use. Electric
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, like screening, earthing, 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 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 control 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 admissible.
After disconnection of the drive converter from the voltage supply, live appliance parts and terminals must not be touched
immediately because of possibly energized capacitors. In this respect, 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.
