2.3.1 Safety functions
Frequency inverters from SEW-EURODRIVE cannot perform any safety functions
unless the inverters are subordinate to higher-level safety systems. Use higher-level
safety systems to ensure protection of equipment and personnel.
When using the "Safe stop" function, you must observe the following publications:
•MOVITRAC
®B Safe Disconnection – Conditions
•MOVITRAC
®B Safe Disconnection – Applications
2.4 Transportation, storage
You must observe the notes on transportation, storage and proper handling. Observe
the climatic conditions as stated in the section "General technical data".
2.5 Installation
The units must be installed and cooled according to the regulations and specifications
in the corresponding documentation.
Protect the frequency inverters from excessive strain. Especially during transportation
and handling, do not allow the components to be deformed and/or insulation spaces
altered. Avoid contact with electronic components and contacts.
Frequency inverters contain components that can easily be damaged by electrostatic
energy and improper handling. Prevent mechanical damage or destruction of electric
components (may pose health risk).
The following applications are prohibited unless the unit is explicitly designed for such
use:
• Use in potentially explosive areas
• Use in areas containing harmful oils, acids, gases, vapors, dust, radiation, etc.
• Use in non-stationary applications which are subject to mechanical vibration and
impact loads in excess of the requirements in EN 61800-5-1.
2.6 Electrical connection
Observe the applicable national accident prevention guidelines when working on live
frequency inverters (for example, BGV A3).
Electrical installation must be carried out according to pertinent regulations (e.g., cable
cross-sections, fusing, protective conductor connection). Additional information is con-
tained in the documentation.
You will find notes on EMC compliant installation, such as shielding, grounding, arrange-
ment of filters and routing of lines, in the documentation of the frequency inverters.
Always observe these instructions, even for frequency inverters bearing the CE
marking. The manufacturer of the system or machine is responsible for observing the
limits established by EMC legislation.
Protective measures and protection devices must comply with the regulations in force
(e.g. EN 60204 or EN 61800-5-1).
Required protective measures: The unit must be grounded.
