Safety Precautions - GEFRAN-SIEI ARTDrive Manual De Instrucciones

2. Safety Precautions

Safety Symbol Legend
Indicates a procedure, condition, or statement that, if not strictly observed, could result in personal injury or death.
Warning
Indicates a procedure, condition, or statement that, if not strictly observed, could result in damage to or destruction
of equipment.
Caution
Indicates a procedure, condition, or statement that should be strictly followed in order to optimize these
applications.
Attention
Note!
Indicates an essential or important procedure, condition, or statement.
According to the EEC standards the drive and accessories must be used only after checking that the machine has been produced
using those safety devices required by the 89/392/EEC set of rules, as far as the machine industry is concerned. These standards do
not apply in the Americas, but may need to be considered in equipment being shipped to Europe.
drive systems cause mechanical motion. It is the responsibility of the user to insure that any such motion does not result in an unsafe
condition. Factory provided interlocks and operating limits should not be bypassed or modified.
Electrical Shock and Burn Hazard:
When using instruments such as oscilloscopes to work on live equipment, the oscilloscope's chassis should be grounded and a
differential amplifier input should be used. Care should be used in the selection of probes and leads and in the adjustment of the
oscilloscope so that accurate readings may be made. See instrument anufacturer's instruction book for proper operation and adju-
stments to the instrument.
Fire and Explosion Hazard:
Fires or explosions might result from mounting Drives in hazardous areas such as locations where flammable or combustible vapors
or dusts are present. Drives should be installed away from hazardous areas, even if used with motors suitable for use in these
locations.
Strain Hazard:
Improper lifting practices can cause serious or fatal injury. Lift only with adequate equipment and trained personnel.
Drives and motors must be ground connected according to the NEC.
Replace all covers before applying power to the drive. Failure to do so may result in death or serious injury.
Adjustable frequency drives are electrical apparatus for use in industrial installations. Parts of the Drives are energized during ope-
ration. The electrical installation and the opening of the device should therefore only be carried out by qualified personnel. Improper
installation of motors or Drives may therefore cause the failure of the device as well as serious injury to persons or material damage.
drive is not equipped with motor overspeed protection logic other than that controlled by software. Follow the instructions given in this
manual and observe the local and national safety regulations applicable.
Always connect the drive to the protective ground (PE) via the marked connection terminals (PE2) and the housing (PE1).
Drives and AC Input filters have ground discharge currents greater than 3.5 mA. EN 50178 specifies that with discharge currents
greater than 3.5 mA the protective conductor ground connection (PE1) must be fixed type and doubled for redundancy.
The drive may cause accidental motion in the event of a failure, even if it is disabled, unless it has been disconnected from the AC
input feeder.
Never open the device or covers while the AC Input power supply is switched on. Minimum time to wait before working on the terminals
or inside the device is listed in section 2.1.
If the front plate has to be removed because of ambient temperature higher than 40 degrees, the user has to ensure that no occasional
contact with live parts may occur.
