• Follow all safety regulations and requirements for the specific
application as practiced in the country of use.
• The equipment is designed for installation in industrial machinery.
• The ambient conditions given in the product documentation must be
observed.
• Use only safety features and applications that are clearly and explicitly
approved in the Project Planning Manual.
For example, the following areas of use are not permitted: construction
cranes, elevators used for people or freight, devices and vehicles to
transport people, medical applications, refinery plants, transport of
hazardous goods, nuclear applications, applications sensitive to high
frequency, mining, food processing, control of protection equipment
(also in a machine).
• The information given in this documentation with regard to the use of
the delivered components contains only examples of applications and
suggestions.
The machine and installation manufacturer must
make sure that the delivered components are suited for his individual
application and check the information given in this documentation
with regard to the use of the components,
make sure that his application complies with the applicable safety
regulations and standards and carry out the required measures,
modifications and complements.
• Startup of the delivered components is only permitted once it is sure
that the machine or installation in which they are installed complies
with the national regulations, safety specifications and standards of the
application.
• Operation is only permitted if the national EMC regulations for the
application are met.
The instructions for installation in accordance with EMC requirements
can be found in the documentation "EMC in Drive and Control
Systems".
The machine or installation manufacturer is responsible for
compliance with the limiting values as prescribed in the national
regulations.
• Technical data, connections and operational conditions are specified in
the product documentation and must be followed at all times.
Protection Against Contact with Electrical Parts
Note: This section refers to equipment and drive components with
voltages above 50 Volts.
Touching live parts with voltages of 50 Volts and more with bare hands or
conductive tools or touching ungrounded housings can be dangerous and
cause electric shock. In order to operate electrical equipment, certain
parts must unavoidably have dangerous voltages applied to them.
DANGER
High electrical voltage! Danger to life, severe
bodily harm by electric shock!
⇒ Only those trained and qualified to work with or on
electrical equipment are permitted to operate, maintain
or repair this equipment.
⇒ Follow general construction and safety regulations when
working on high voltage installations.
⇒ Before switching on power the ground wire must be
permanently connected to all electrical units according
to the connection diagram.
⇒ Do not operate electrical equipment at any time, even
for brief measurements or tests, if the ground wire is not
permanently connected to the points of the components
provided for this purpose.
⇒ Before working with electrical parts with voltage higher
than 50 V, the equipment must be disconnected from
the mains voltage or power supply. Make sure the
equipment cannot be switched on again unintended.
⇒ The following should be observed with electrical drive
and filter components:
⇒ Wait five (5) minutes after switching off power to allow
capacitors to discharge before beginning to work.
Measure the voltage on the capacitors before beginning
to work to make sure that the equipment is safe to
touch.
⇒ Never touch the electrical connection points of a
component while power is turned on.
⇒ Install the covers and guards provided with the
equipment properly before switching the equipment on.
Prevent contact with live parts at any time.
⇒ A residual-current-operated protective device (RCD)
must not be used on electric drives! Indirect contact
must be prevented by other means, for example, by an
overcurrent protective device.
⇒ Electrical components with exposed live parts and
uncovered high voltage terminals must be installed in a
protective housing, for example, in a control cabinet.
