REXRTOHECODRIVE03 Drive ControllersProject Planning Manual

• 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.
