Safety information
General
Some parts of Lenze controllers (frequency inverters, servo inverters, DC controllers) can be
live, moving and rotating. Some surfaces can be hot.
Non-authorized removal of the required cover, inappropriate use, and incorrect installation or
operation creates the risk of severe injury to personnel or damage to equipment.
All operations concerning transport, installation, and commissioning as well as maintenance
must be carried out by qualified, skilled personnel (IEC 364 and CENELEC HD 384 or DIN
VDE 0100 and IEC report 664 or DIN VDE0110 and national regulations for the prevention of
accidents must be observed).
According to this basic safety information, qualified skilled personnel are persons who are familiar
with the installation, assembly, commissioning, and operation of the product and who have the
qualifications necessary for their occupation.
Application as directed
Drive controllers are components which are designed for installation in electrical systems or
machinery. They are not to be used as appliances. They are intended exclusively for professional
and commercial purposes according to EN 61000-3-2. The documentation includes information
on compliance with the EN 61000-3-2.
When installing the drive controllers in machines, commissioning (i.e. the starting of operation
as directed) is prohibited until it is proven that the machine complies with the regulations of the
EC Directive 2006/42/EC (Machinery Directive); EN 60204 must be observed.
Commissioning (i.e. starting of operation as directed) is only allowed when there is compliance
with the EMC Directive (2004/108/EC).
The drive controllers meet the requirements of the Low Voltage Directive 2006/95/EC. The
harmonised standards of the series EN 50178/DIN VDE 0160 apply to the controllers.
Note: The availability of controllers is restricted according to EN 61800-3.These products can
cause radio interference in residential areas. In this case, special measures can be necessary.
Installation
Ensure proper handling and avoid excessive mechanical stress. Do not bend any components
and do not change any insulation distances during transport or handling. Do not touch any
electronic components and contacts.
Controllers contain electrostatically sensitive components, which can easily be damaged by
inappropriate handling. Do not damage or destroy any electrical components since this might
endanger your health!
Electrical connection
When working on live drive controllers, applicable national regulations for the prevention of
accidents (e.g. VBG 4) must be observed.
The electrical installation must be carried out according to the appropriate regulations (e.g.
cable cross-sections, fuses, PE connection). Additional information can be obtained from the
documentation.
The documentation contains information about installation in compliance with EMC (shielding,
grounding, filters and cables). These notes must also be observed for CE-marked controllers.
The manufacturer of the system or machine is responsible for compliance with the required limit
values demanded by EMC legislation.
