Underwriters Laboratories Recognition
The E Series drives are marked with the “UL Recognized” label after passing a rigorous set
of design and testing criteria developed by UL (UL508C). This label indicates that the UL
certifies this product to be safe when installed according to the installation guidelines and
used within the product specifications.
The “conditions of acceptability” required by UL are:
• The drive ambient temperature must be 40° C (104° F) or less.
• This product is suitable for use on a circuit capable of delivering not more than 5000 RMS
symmetrical amperes, 240 volts maximum.
The “UL Recognized” designation is different than a “UL Listed” designation. The “UL
Listed” designation is generally applicable to stand alone products where the “UL
Recognized” designation is used for components that are part of a system. E Series drives are
usually considered components of a larger control system where the “UL Recognized”
designating is very common and well accepted.
CE Declaration of Conformity
The E Series drives are marked with the “Conformite Europeenne Mark” (CE mark) after
passing a rigorous set of design and testing criteria. This label indicates that this product
meets safety and noise immunity and emmisions (EMC) standards when installed according
to the installation guidelines and used within the product specifications.
