General note on gender equality
KOSTAL Industrie Elektrik GmbH is aware of the importance of language with regard to the equality

The INVEOR drive controller is a device for the speed control of three-phase AC motors. Before
installing and using the INVEOR, the operator must have read and understood this document.
Always use the drive controller as intended. The device may only be used within the permissible
power range and under the permissible ambient conditions. The drive controller may not be
operated in areas where there is a danger of explosion. The permitted operating range of all
components must be observed at all times. Only use the product in accordance with the information
provided in the detailed documentation
(see http://www.kostal-industrie-elektrik.com/INVEOR_M_Antriebsregler) and in accordance
with the standards and guidelines applicable on site. It is essential that the information provided in
the technical data is observed.
Material damage to the device and other equipment may occur if used improperly. The drive
controller may therefore only be used for its intended purpose.
Using drive controllers in equipment that is not fixed is considered as an exceptional
environmental condition and is only permitted if allowed by the standards and guidelines
Only allow appropriately qualified staff to undertake assembly and disassembly.
Only use staff who are trained in mounting, installation, commissioning and handling.
Do not modify the drive controller.
Observe general and national safety and accident prevention regulations
The INVEOR may have touch currents of > 3.5 mA.
In accordance with DIN EN 61800-5-1, an extra protective grounding conductor of the
same cross-section as the original protective grounding conductor should therefore be
fitted. A second protective grounding conductor can be connected under the mains
supply (position marked with a ground symbol) on the outside of the device. A M6 x 12
screw (4.0 Nm torque) suitable for this connection is provided with the adapter plate.
If three-phase frequency inverters are used, the use of conventional type A FI
protection switches, RCD (residual current-operated protective device), are not
permissible as protection against direct or indirect contact!
According to DIN VDE 0160 and EN 50178, the FI protection switch must be universal
current sensitive (RCD type B).
Signs and labels are applied to the housing of the drive controller.
These signs and labels may not be altered or removed.

DANGER!
RISK OF DEATH DUE TO ELECTRICAL SHOCK AND DISCHARGE!
DEATH OR SERIOUS INJURY
Life-threatening voltages are present in the drive controller.
Only a qualified electrician may open and perform work on the device.
Always de-energise the drive controller during installation, maintenance and
repairs, and secure it against being switched back on.
The following terminals may lead to dangerous currents even when the motor
is not running:
Supply terminals X1: L1, L2, L3
Motor connection terminals X2: U, V, W
Connecting terminals X6, X7: Relay contacts for relays 1 and 2
DANGER!
RISK OF DEATH DUE TO ELECTRICAL SHOCK AND DISCHARGE!
DEATH OR SERIOUS INJURY
Always ground the device in accordance with DIN EN 61140; VDE 0140, NEC
and other relevant standards.
The drive controller must be grounded with the motor according to relevant
regulations. Non-compliance may result in death or serious injury.
If spring elements are not used when assembling the adapter plate, there must
be an extra connection between the motor and drive controller to produce a
correct protective conductor connection.
Unused open cable ends in the motor terminal box must be insulated.
Use suitable line circuit breakers with the prescribed nominal current between
the mains and drive controller.
Only ever replace damaged parts or components with original parts
Danger due to electrical shock and discharge.
Wait two minutes (discharge time of the capacitors)
after shut-down
CAUTION!
RISK OF BURNS FROM HOT SURFACES!
SERIOUS BURNS TO THE SKIN FROM HOT SURFACES!
Allow the drive controller's cooling elements to cool sufficiently.
DANGER!
RISK OF DEATH DUE TO RESTARTING MOTORS AND REVOLVING
MECHANICAL PARTS!
Non-observance may result in death, serious injury or damage.
Certain parameter settings and changing parameter settings during operation
may result in the INVEOR drive controller restarting automatically after the
supply voltage has failed, or in undesirable changes in the operating behaviour.
Installation surface and immediate surroundings (only with wall mounting)
The installation surface and its immediate surroundings must display the following properties:
fixed, vertical, level, not highly flammable, not permanently vibrating.
The installation surface must provide a hold for retaining bolts.
Damage to property possible
Risk of damage to drive controller!
Risk of damage to drive controller from improper transport, storage, installation and
assembly!
In general, transport the drive controller correctly in its original packaging on a pallet.
Always store the drive controller properly.
Only allow qualified staff to undertake installation and assembly.
