7. Notes and recommendations on using EPH motor control cards
Notes and recommendations on the use of EPH motor control cards in electric drive
systems in accordance with the respectively applicable EC machine directives 98/37/EG,
EMC directive 2004/108/EG and low voltage directive 2006/95/EG
In its application the machine directive required the CE labelling of complete machines
only.
In the sense of the user these components cannot be operated independently and are
produced for further processing by industry, trade or components which are competent in
EMC.
The components are only for intended usage. For this the staff must be competent in
electrics and EMC to guarantee correct installation, start-up and maintenance.
EPH speed controllers are electrical devices of power electronics for the control of the
energy flow (protection class IP 00). They are intended for use in machines for speed
control of electric motors.
In order to comply with the low voltage directive 2006/95/EG for complete units, EPH
Elektronik also provides cases with increased protection class (at least IP 20) as an
alternative to the pcb-types.
The user must ensure that the devices and the associated components and systems are
installed and connected in compliance with the local legal and technical regulations.
For Germany the regulation of VDE and the professional association apply. Regulations of
the EMC and low voltage guidelines must also be observed.
Machines and systems must also be equipped with device-independent monitoring and
safety installations. The user must ensure that after a device fails, in the event of external
use, failure of the controlling and steering unit, etc. operation is moved to a safe mode.
The instruction manual must have been read and understood by specialist staff before
installation and launch. We are happy to help with any queries in the event of any
obscurity. Installation work may only be conducted by specialist electric staff taking into
account the safety provisions.
Installation works may only be conducted in without power supply; protective devices and
covers must be properly installed before use.
The devices are archived under their serial number with their examination details.
Please understand that we reserve the right to make changes to this manual, as the
products are subject to constant improvement.
