SAFETY AND OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS FOR VARIABLE SPEED DRIVES
(in accordance with the low voltage directive 73/23/EEC modified by 93/68/EEC)
• Throughout the manual, this
symbol warns of consequences
which may arise from inappropriate use
of the drive, since electrical risks may
lead to material or physical damage as
well as constituting a fire hazard.
1 - General
Depending on their degree of protection,
the variable speed drives may contain
unprotected live parts, which may be
moving or rotating, as well as hot surfaces,
during operation.
Unjustified removal of protection devices,
incorrect use, faulty installation or
inappropriate operation could represent a
serious risk to personnel and equipment.
For further information, consult the manual.
All work relating to transportation,
installation, commissioning and
maintenance must be performed by
experienced, qualified personnel (see
IEC 364 or CENELEC HD 384, or DIN VDE
0100 and national specifications for
installation and accident prevention).
In these basic safety instructions, qualified
personnel means persons competent to
install, mount, commission and operate the
product and possessing the relevant
qualifications.
2 - Use
Variable speed drives are components
designed for integration in installations or
electrical machines.
When integrated in a machine,
commissioning must not take place until it
has been verified that the machine
conforms with directive 89/392/EEC
(Machinery Directive). It is also necessary
to comply with standard EN 60204, which
stipulates in particular that electrical
actuators (which include variable speed
drives) cannot be considered as
circuit-breaking devices and certainly not
as isolating switches.
Commissioning can take place only if the
requirements of the Electromagnetic
Compatibility Directive (89/336/EEC,
modified by 92/31/EEC) are met.
The variable speed drives meet the
requirements of the Low Voltage Directive
73/23/EEC, modified by 93/68/EEC. The
harmonised standards of the
DIN VDE 0160 series in connection with
standard VDE 0660, part 500 and EN
60146/VDE 0558 are also applicable.
The technical characteristics and
instructions concerning the connection
conditions specified on the nameplate and
in the documentation provided must be
observed without fail.
3 - Transportation, storage
All instructions concerning transportation,
storage and correct handling must be
observed.
The climatic conditions specified in the
technical manual must be observed.
