Definitions and Warnings
1. General
In operation, drive converters, depending on their
degree of protection, may have live, uninsulated, and
possibly also moving or rotating parts, as well as hot
surfaces.
In case of inadmissible removal of the required covers,
of improper use, wrong installation or maloperation,
there is the danger of serious personal injury and
damage to property.
For further information, see documentation.
All operations serving transport, installation and
commissioninng as well as maintenance are to be
carried out by skilled technical personnel (Observe
IEC 60364 or CENELEC HD 384 or DIN VDE 0100
and IEC 60664 or DIN VDE0110 and national accident
prevention rules!).
For the purposes of these basic safety instructions,
"skilled technical personnel" means persons who are
familiar with the installation, mounting, commissioning
and operation of the product and have the qualifications
needed for the performance of their functions.
2. Intended use
Drive converters are components designed for
inclusion in electrical installations or machinery.
In case of installation in machinery, commissioning of
the drive converter (i.e. the starting of normal
operation) is prohibited until the machinery has been
proved to conform to the provisions of the directive
98/37/EG (Machinery Safety Directive - MSD).
Account is to be taken of EN 60204.
Commissioning (i.e. the starting of normal opertion) is
admissible only where conformity with the EMC
directive (89/336/EEC) has been established.
The drive converters meet the requirements of the
low-voltage directive 73/23/EEC.
They are subject to the harmonized standards of the
series EN 50178 / DIN VDE 0160 in conjunction with
EN 60439-1 / DIN VDE 0660 part 500 and EN 60146 /
VDE 0558.
The technical data as well as information concerning the
supply conditions shall be taken from the rating plate and
from the documentation and shall be strictly observed.
3. Transport, storage
The instructions for transport, storage and proper use
shall be complied with.
The climatic conditions shall be in conformity with EN
50178.

Safety and Operating Instructions
for Drive Converters
(in conformity with the low-voltage directive 73/23/EWG)
4. Installation
The installation and cooling of the appliances shall be in
accordance with the specifications in the pertinent
documentation.
The drive converters shall be protected against
excessive strains. In particular, no components must be
bent or isolating distances altered in the course of
transportation or handling. No contact shall be made with
electronic components and contacts.
Drive converters contain electrostatic sensitive components
which are liable to damage through improper use. Electric
components must not be mechanically damaged or
destroyed (potential health risks).
5. Electrical connection
When working on live drive converters, the applicable
national accident prevention rules (e.g. BGV A3) must be
complied with.
The electrical installation shall be carried out in
accordance with the relevant requirements (e.g. cross-
sectional areas of conductors, fusing, PE connection).
For further information, see documentation.
Instructions for the installation in accordance with EMC
requirements, like screening, earthing, location of filters
and wiring, are contained in the drive converter
documentation. They must always be complied with, also
for drive converters bearing a CE marking. Observance of
the limit values required by EMC law is the responsibility of
the manufacturer of the installation or machine.
6. Operation
Installations which include drive converters shall be
equipped with additional control and protective devices in
accordance with the relevant applicable safety
requirements, e.g. Act respecting technical equipment,
accident prevention rules etc. Changes to the drive
converters by means of the operating software are
admissible.
After disconnection of the drive converter from the
voltage supply, live appliance parts and power terminals
must not be touched immediately because of possibly
energized capacitors. In this respect, the corresponding
signs and markings on the drive converter must be
respected.
During operation, all covers and doors shall be kept closed.
7. Maintenance and servicing
The manufacturer's documentation shall be followed.
