1.2 Purpose of the Frequency Inverters
Warning! The frequency inverters are electrical drive components intended for
installation in industrial plants or machines. Commissioning and start of
operation is not allowed until it has been verified that the machine
meets the requirements of the EC Machinery Directive 98/37/EEC and
EN 60204. In accordance with the CE marking requirements, the fre-
quency inverters also comply with the Low Voltage Directive 72/23/EEC
as well as EN 50178 / DIN VDE 0160 and EN 61800-2. The user shall be
responsible for making sure that the requirements of the EMC Directive
89/336/EEC are met. Frequency inverters are only available at special-
ized dealers and are exclusively intended for professional use as per EN
61000-3-2.
The frequency inverters are also marked with the UL label according to
UL508c, which proves that they also meet the requirements of the CSA
Standard C22.2-No. 14-95.
The technical data, connection specifications and information on ambi-
ent conditions are indicated on the name plate and in the documenta-
tion and must be complied with in any case. Anyone involved in any
kind of work at the device must have read the instructions carefully and
understood them before starting the work.
Do not connect any capacitive loads.
1.3 Transport and Storage
The frequency inverters must be transported and stored in an appropriate way. Dur-
ing transport and storage the devices must remain in their original packaging. The
units may only be stored in dry rooms which are protected against dust and mois-
ture and are exposed to little temperature deviations only. Observe the climatic con-
ditions according to EN 50178 and the marking on the packaging. The frequency
inverters must not be stored for more than one year without connecting them to
nominal voltage.
1.4 Handling and Installation
Warning! Damaged or destroyed components must not be put into operation
because they may be a health hazard.
The frequency inverters are to be used in accordance with the documentation as
well as the applicable directives and standards. They must be handled carefully and
protected against mechanical stress. Do not bend any components or change the
isolating distances. Do not touch electronic components or contacts. The devices are
equipped with components which are sensitive to electrostatic energy and can easily
be damaged if handled improperly. Any use of damaged or destroyed components
shall be considered as a non-compliance with the applicable standards. Do not re-
move any warning signs from the device.
