1General Safety Instructions and Information on Use
Warning! The specifications and instructions contained in the documentation must
be complied with strictly during installation and commissioning. Only
qualified staff who has read the documentation and, in particular, the
safety instructions carefully is allowed to carry out installation or
commissioning work or to operate the frequency inverters. The term
„Qualified Staff“ refers to anybody who is familiar with the installation,
assembly, commissioning and operation of the frequency inverter and
has the proper qualification for the job.
The present documentation was prepared with great care and it was subjected to
extensive and repeated reviews. For reasons of clarity, it was not possible to include
all details of all the different types of the product in the documentation. Neither was
it possible to consider all conceivable installation, operation or maintenance
situations. If you require further information or if you meet with specific problems
which are not dealt with in sufficient detail in the documentation, contact your local
BONFIGLIOLI agent.
We would also like to point out that the contents of this documentation do not form
part of any previous or existing agreement, assurance or legal relationship. Neither
are they intended to supplement or replace such agreements, assurances or legal
relationships. The manufacturer's obligations are exclusively specified in the relevant
purchase contract. This contract also contains all and any warranty regulations which
may apply to the relevant scope of supply. These contractual warranty provisions are
neither extended nor limited by the specifications contained in this documentation.
The manufacturer reserves the right to correct or amend the specifications, product
information and omissions in these operating instructions without notice. The
manufacturer shall not be liable for any damage, injuries or costs which may be
caused by the aforementioned reasons.
1.1 General Information
Warning! The DC-link circuit of the frequency inverter is charged during operation,
i.e. there is always the risk of contact with high voltage. Frequency
inverters are used for driving moving parts and they may become hot at
the surface during operation.
Any unauthorized removal of the necessary covers, improper use, wrong
installation or operation may result in serious injuries or material
damage.
In order to avoid such injuries or damage, only qualified staff may carry
out the transport, installation, setup or maintenance work required. The
standards EN 50178, IEC 60364 (Cenelec HD 384 or DIN VDE 0100),
IEC 60664-1 (Cenelec HD 625 or VDE 0110-1), BGV A2 (VBG 4) as well
as the applicable national regulations must be complied with. The term
„Qualified Staff“ refers to anybody who is familiar with the installation,
assembly, commissioning and operation of the frequency inverter as well
as the possible hazards and has the proper qualification for the job.

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
frequency inverters 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 specialized
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 ambient
conditions are indicated on the name plate and in the documentation 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.
1.3 Transport and Storage
The frequency inverters must be transported and stored in an appropriate way.
During 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
moisture and are exposed to small temperature deviations only. Observe the climatic
conditions according to EN 50178 and the marking on the packaging. The units must
not be stored for more than one year without connecting them to the rated mains
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
remove any warning signs from the device.

06/056
6 06/05
1.5 Electrical Connection
Warning! Before any assembly or connection work, discharge the frequency
inverter. Verify that the frequency inverter is discharged.
Do not touch the terminals because the capacitors may still be charged.
Comply with the information given in the operating instructions and on
the frequency inverter label.
When working at the frequency inverters, comply with the applicable standards BGV
A2 (VBG 4), VDE 0100 and other national directives. Comply with the electrical
installation instructions given in the documentation as well as the relevant directives.
Responsibility for compliance with and examination of the limit values of the EMC
product norm EN 61800-3 for variable-speed electrical drive mechanisms is with the
manufacturer of the industrial plant or machine.
The documentation contains information on EMC-conforming installation. The cables
connected to the frequency inverters may not be subjected to high-voltage insulation
tests unless appropriate circuitry measures are taken before. Otherwise the
frequency inverter may be damaged.
1.6 Information on Use
Warning! The frequency inverter may be connected to power supply every 60 s
only. Otherwise the unit may be damaged. For this reason, a jog
operation of a mains contactor is not permissible. For commissioning or
after an emergency stop, a non-recurrent, direct restart is permissible.
After a failure and restoration of the power supply, the motor may start
unexpectedly if the Auto-Start function is activated.
Before commissioning and the start of the operation fix all covers and
check the terminals. Check the additional monitoring and protective
devices according to EN 60204 and applicable the safety directives (e.g.
Working 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 opening and improper interventions can lead to personal
injury or material damage. Repairs on the frequency inverters may only
be carried out by the manufacturer or persons authorized by the
manufacturer. Check protective equipment regularly.

4Mechanical Installation
The frequency inverters of degree of protection IP20 are designed, as a standard, for
installation in electrical cabinets.
•During installation, both the installation and the safety instructions as well as the
device specifications must be complied with.
Warning! To avoid serious physical injuries or major material damage, only
qualified persons are allowed to work on the devices.
Warning! During assembly, make sure that no foreign particles (e.g. filings, dust,
wires, screws, tools) can get inside the frequency inverter. Otherwise
there is the risk of short circuits and fire.
The frequency inverters comply with protection class IP20 only if the
covers and terminals are mounted properly.
The units may only be used if these requirements are met.
Caution! Mount the devices with sufficient clearance to other components so that
the cooling air can circulate freely. Avoid soiling by grease and air
pollution by dust, aggressive gases, etc.
