Inspection of our units in view of their suitability for the intended use must be done generally by the user. Inspec-
tions are particulary necessary, if changes are executed, which serve for the further development or adaption of
our products to the applications (hardware, software or download lists). Inspections must be repeated completely,
evenifonlypartsofhardware,softwareordownloadlistsaremodied.
Inspection by
the user
Application and use of our units in the target products is outside of our control and
therefore exclusively in the area of responsibility of the user.
Use under spe-
cial conditions
The used semiconductors and components of KEB are developed and dimensioned
for the use in industrial products. If the KEB COMBIVERT is used in machines, which
work under exceptional conditions or if essential functions, life-supporting measures

Danger by high
voltage
KEB electronic components contain dangerous voltages, which can cause death or
serious injury. Depending on the protective system they can have live parts, bright
parts, if necessary also moving parts, as well as hot surfaces during operation.
Care should be taken to ensure correct and safe operation to minimise risk to personnel
and equipment.
