Safety Considerations
Safety Precautions
This product is intended for professional integration into a complete system. If you install the
product incorrectly, it may present a safety hazard. The product and system may use high
voltages and currents, carry a high level of stored electrical energy, or control mechanical
equipment that can cause injury.
You should give close attention to the electrical installation and system design to avoid
hazards either in normal operation or in the event of equipment malfunction. System design,
installation, commissioning and maintenance must be carried out by personnel who have the
necessarytraining and experience. Read andfollowthis safety information and theinstruction
manual carefully.
Enclosure
This product is intended to be mounted in an enclosure which prevents access except by
trained and authorized personnel, and which prevents the ingress of contamination. This
product is designed for use in an environment classified as pollution degree 2 in accordance
with IEC664-1. This means that only dry, non-conducting contamination is acceptable.
Setup, Commissioning and Maintenance
It is essential that you give careful consideration to changes to drive settings. Depending on
the application, a change could have an impact on safety. You must take appropriate
precautions against inadvertent changes or tampering. Restoring default parameters in certain
applications may cause unpredictable or hazardous operation.
Safety of Machinery
Within the European Union all machinery with which this product is used must comply with
Directive 89/392/EEC, Safety of Machinery.
The product has been designed and tested to a high standard, and failures are very unlikely.
However the level of integrity offered by the product’s control function – for example stop/
start, forward/reverse and maximum speed – is not sufficient for use in safety-critical
applications without additional independent channels of protection. All applications where
malfunction could cause injury or loss of life must be subject to a risk assessment, and further
protection provided where needed.

relevant safety legislation in the country of use.
AC supply isolation device
The AC supply must be removed from the drive using an approved isolation device or disconnect
before any servicing work is performed, other than adjustments to the settings or parameters
specified in the manual. The drive contains capacitors which remain charged to a potentially lethal
voltage after the supply has been removed. Allow at least 3 minutes for Epsilon and 30 seconds for
E Series drives after removing the supply before carrying out any work which may involve contact
with electrical connections to the drive.
Products connected by plug and socket
A special hazard may exist where the drive is incorporated into a product which is connected to the
AC supply by a plug and socket. When unplugged, the pins of the plug may be connected to the
drive input, which is only separated from the charge stored in the bus capacitor by semiconductor
devices. To avoid any possibility of electric shock from the pins, if they are accessible, a means
must be provided for automatically disconnecting the plug from the drive (that is, a latching
contactor).
Grounding (Earthing, equipotential bonding)
The drive must be grounded by a conductor sufficient to carry all possible fault current in the event
of a fault. The ground connections shown in the manual must be followed.
Fuses
Fuses or over-current protection must be provided at the input in accordance with the instructions
in the manual.
Isolation of control circuits
The installer must ensure that the external control circuits are isolated from human contact by at
least one layer of insulation rated for use at the applied AC supply voltage.
