1.3  Transport and storage 
T
ransport and stora
g
e are to be done appropriate in the ori
g
inal packin
g
. Store the
units only in dry rooms, which are protected against dust and moisture and are sub-
j
ected to little temperature deviations only. Observe the climatic conditions accordin
g
to standard EN 50178 and to the information on the label of the ori
g
inal packin
g
. The 
duration of storage without connection to the admissible reference volta
g
e may no
t
exceed one year. 
1.4  Handling and positioning 
Warning!  Damaged or destroyed components may not be put into operation be-
cause they may be a health hazard. 
  The frequency inverters are to be used accordin
g
 to the documentation, the directives 
and the standards. Handle carefully and avoid mechanical overload. Do not bend the
components or chan
g
e the isolation distances. Do not touch electronic components o
r
contacts. The devices contain construction elements with a risk of electrostatic, which 
can easily be damaged by improper handling. Any use of damaged or destroyed com-
ponents shall be considered as a non-compliance with the applicable standards. Do 
not remove any warning signs from the device. 
1.5  Electrical connection 
Warning!  Before any assembly or connection work, de-energize the frequency in-
verter. Make sure that the frequency inverter is de-energized. 
Do not touch the sockets, because the capacitors may still be charged. 
Comply with the information 
g
iven in the operatin
g
 instructions and on
the frequency inverter label. 
 While workin
g
 on the frequency inverters, obey the applicable standards BGV A2
(VBG 4), VDE 0100 and other national directives. Comply with the information in the 
documentation on electrical installation and the relevant directives. Responsibility fo
r
compliance with and examination of the limit values of the EMC product standard 
EN 61800-3 for variable-speed electrical drive mechanisms is with the manufacturer o
f
the industrial plant or machine. 
T
he documentation contains information on installation correct for EMC. The cables
connected to the frequency inverters may not be subjected to an isolation test with a 
high test voltage without previous circuit measures. 
1.6  Operation information 
Warning!  Before commissionin
g
 and the start of the intended operation, attach all
the covers and check the sockets. Check additional monitoring and pro-
tective devices pursuant to EN 60204 and the safety directives applicable 
in each case (e.
g
. Workin
g
 Machines Act, Accident Prevention Directives
etc.). 
No connection work may be performed, while the system is in operation. 
1.7  Maintenance and service 
Warning!  Unauthorized openin
g
 and improper interventions can lead to physical 
in
j
ury or dama
g
e to property. Repairs on the frequency inverters may
only be done by the manufacturer or persons authorized by the latter.
