2Safety notes
2.1 Information for those responsible for the plant
or system
This electric machine has been designed and built in accordance with the
specifications contained in Directive 2006/95/EC up to April 19, 2016 - and from April
20, 2016 according to Directive 2014/35/EU ("Low-Voltage Directive") and is intended
for use in industrial plants. Please observe the country-specific regulations when
using the electric machine outside the European Community. Follow the local and
industry-specific safety and setup regulations.
The persons responsible for the plant must ensure the following:
●Planning and configuration work and all work carried out on and with the machine
is only to be done by qualified personnel.
●The operating instructions must always be available for all work.
●The technical data as well as the specifications relating to the permissible
installation, connection, ambient and operating conditions are taken into account
at all times.
●The specific setup and safety regulations as well as regulations on the use of
personal protective equipment are observed.
Note
Use the services and support provided by the appropriate
Service Center
(Page
145) for planning, installation, commissioning, and servicing work.
You will find safety instructions in the individual sections of this document. Follow the
safety instructions for your own safety, to protect other people and to avoid damage
to property.
Observe the following safety instructions for all activities on and with the machine.

2.2 Additional information: Information for plant
managers (ATEX)
This machine has been designed and built in accordance with Directive 94/9/EC until
April 19, 2016 and from April 20, 2016 in accordance with Directive 2014/34/EU
("Explosion Protection Directive”), and it is intended for use in industrial plants with a
potentially explosive atmosphere.
Commissioning in the European Community in accordance with Directive
2006/42/EU (“Machinery Directive”) is forbidden until the plant into which the
machine will be installed has been shown to conform with this directive. Please
observe the country-specific regulations when using the machine outside the
European Community.
WARNING
Commissioning prior to establishing conformance
If the machine is commissioned prior to determining the plant conformance, the
explosion protection of the plant is not ensured. An explosion can occur. This can
result in death, serious injury or material damage.
Do not commission the machine until it has been confirmed that the plant conforms
with the explosion protection directive.
2.3 The five safety rules
For your own personal safety and to prevent material damage when carrying out any
work, always observe the safety-relevant instructions and the following five safety
rules according to EN 50110-1 "Working in a voltage-free state". Apply the five safety
rules in the sequence stated before starting work.
Five safety rules
1. Disconnect the system.
Also disconnect the auxiliary circuits, for example, anti-condensation heating.
2. Secure against reconnection.
3. Verify absence of operating voltage.
4. Ground and short-circuit.
5. Provide protection against adjacent live parts.
To energize the system, apply the measures in reverse order.

2.4 Qualified personnel
All work at the machine must be carried out by qualified personnel only. For the
purpose of this documentation, qualified personnel is taken to mean people who fulfill
the following requirements:
●Through appropriate training and experience, they are able to recognize and
avoid risks and potential dangers in their particular field of activity.
●They have been instructed to carry out work on the machine by the appropriate
person responsible.
2.5 Safe handling
Workplace safety depends on the attentiveness, care, and common sense of the
personnel who install, operate, and maintain the machine. In addition to the safety
measures cited, as a matter of principle, the use of caution is necessary when you
are near the machine. Always pay attention to your safety.
Also observe the following to prevent accidents:
●General safety regulations applicable in the country where the machine is
deployed.
●Manufacturer-specific and application-specific regulations
●Special agreements made with the operator
●Separate safety instructions supplied with the machine
●Safety symbols and instructions on the machine and its packaging

2.6 Interference voltages when operating the
converter
WARNING
Interference voltages when operating the converter
When a converter is in operation, the emitted interference varies in strength
depending on the converter (manufacturer, type, interference suppression
measures undertaken). On machines with integrated sensors (e.g. PTC
thermistors), interference voltages caused by the converter may occur on the
sensor lead. This can cause faults which can result in eventual or immediate death,
serious injury or material damage.
Observe the EMC instructions of the converter manufacturer in order to avoid
exceeding the limit values according to IEC/EN 61000-6-3 for drive systems
comprising machine and converter. You must put appropriate EMC measures in
place.
Note
The increased level of danger in haz
ardous areas demands that you pay particular
attention to the notes marked with
