Installation Instructions
Although Gemini drives are technically considered motion control components
and are therefore not within the scope of the European union’s CE (Conformité
Européenne) directives, Compumotor has taken the initiative to provide its
customers with easy to integrate motion control products that meet global require-
ments.
The following constitutes what is typically required to install the Gemini drives
into a CE compliant system. Additional installation measures may be required at
some locations. The machine builder has ultimate responsibility for machine
compliance.
Low Voltage Directive (LVD) Installation Requirements:
•
Mains fuses
•
Drive safety earth conductor
•
Motor safety earth (for motor voltages greater than 75 volts)
•
Drive must be installed such that the hazardous live terminals (barrier strip) are not
accessible under normal operation
Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) Installation Requirements:
•
Product does not need to be placed within an enclosure
•
Mains filter (see filter recommendations)
•
Transient suppressors (mains surge test)
•
Compumotor EMC cabling (requires no special cable preparation)
•
EMC ready motor, or motor with EMC installation information
•
Additional installation hardware as shown in drawings in this appendix
