Warning notice system
This manual contains notices you have to observe in order to ensure your personal safety, as well as to prevent
damage to property. The notices referring to your personal safety are highlighted in the manual by a safety alert
symbol, notices referring only to property damage have no safety alert symbol. These notices shown below are
graded according to the degree of danger.
DANGER
indicates that death or severe personal injury will result if proper precautions are not taken.
WARNING
indicates that death or severe personal injury may result if proper precautions are not taken.
CAUTION
indicates that minor personal injury can result if proper precautions are not taken.
NOTICE
indicates that property damage can result if proper precautions are not taken.
If more than one degree of danger is present, the warning notice representing the highest degree of danger will
be used. A notice warning of injury to persons with a safety alert symbol may also include a warning relating to
property damage.
Qualified Personnel
The product/system described in this documentation may be operated only by personnel qualified for the specific
task in accordance with the relevant documentation, in particular its warning notices and safety instructions.
Qualified personnel are those who, based on their training and experience, are capable of identifying risks and
avoiding potential hazards when working with these products/systems.

1.1 The SINAMICS converter family
With the SINAMICS converter family, you can solve any individual drive task in the low-
voltage, medium-voltage and DC voltage range. From converters to motors and controllers,
all Siemens drive components are perfectly matched to each other and can be easily
integrated into your existing automation system. With SINAMICS you are prepared for
digitization. You benefit from highly efficient engineering with a variety of tools for the entire
product development and production process. And you also save space in the control
cabinet – thanks to the integrated safety technology.
You can find additional information about SINAMICS at the following address

●North American market
SINAMICS S devices with one of the test symbols displayed fulfill the requirements
stipulated for the North American market as a component of drive applications.
You can find the relevant certificates on the Internet pages of the certifiers
(http://database.ul.com/cgi-bin/XYV/template/LISEXT/1FRAME/index.html).
●Specification for semiconductor process equipment voltage drop immunity
SINAMICS S devices meet the requirements of standard SEMI F47-0706.
●Australia and New Zealand (RCM formerly C-Tick)
SINAMICS S devices showing the test symbols fulfill the EMC requirements for Australia
and New Zealand.
●Quality systems
Siemens AG employs a quality management system that meets the requirements of ISO
9001 and ISO 14001.
Standards that are not relevant
China Compulsory Certification
SINAMICS S devices do not fall in the area of validity of the China Compulsory Certification
(CCC).
EMC limit values for South Korea
The mandatory EMC limits for Korea correspond to the limits of EN 61800-3 (EMC product
standard for adjustable speed electrical drive systems) for category C2 or to limit class A,
Group 1 according to EN 55011.
Compliance with the limits according to category C2 or class A, group 1 is achieved with
suitable additional measures. Further, additional measures may be required, such as using
an additional radio interference suppression filter (EMC filter).
The measures for EMC-compliant design of the system are described in detail in this manual
and in the "SINAMICS Low Voltage Engineering Manual".
The final statement regarding compliance with the standard is always specified by the
respective label attached to the individual unit.

1.6 Additional information
Ensuring reliable operation
The manual describes a desired state which, if maintained, ensures the required level of
operational reliability and compliance with EMC limit values.
Should there be any deviation from the requirements in the equipment manual, appropriate
actions (e.g. measurements) must be taken to check/prove that the required level of
operational reliability and compliance with EMC limit values are ensured.
Spare parts
Spare parts are available on the Internet at the following address
(https://support.industry.siemens.com/sc/de/en/sc/2110).
Product maintenance
The components are subject to continuous further development within the scope of product
maintenance (improvements to robustness, discontinuations of components, etc).
These further developments are "spare parts-compatible" and do not change the article
number.
In the scope of such spare parts-compatible further developments, connector/connection
positions are sometimes changed slightly. This does not cause any problems with proper
use of the components. Please take this fact into consideration in special installation
situations (e.g. allow sufficient clearance for the cable length).
Use of third-party products
This document contains recommendations relating to third-party products. Siemens accepts
the fundamental suitability of these third-party products.
You can use equivalent products from other manufacturers.
Siemens does not accept any warranty for the properties of third-party products.
