Application as directed
Controllers are components which are designed for installation
in electrical systems or machines. They are not to be used as
domestic appliances, but only for industrial purposes according
to EN 61000-3-2.
When controllers are installed into machines, commissioning
(i.e. starting of the 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 the operation as directed) is only
allowed when there is compliance with the EMC Directive
(2004/108/EC).
The controllers meet the requirements of the Low-Voltage
Directive 2006/95/EC. The harmonised standard EN 61800-5-1
applies to the controllers.
The technical data and supply conditions can be obtained from
the nameplate and the documentation. They must be strictly
observed.
Warning: Controllers are products which can be installed in drive
systems of category C2 according to EN 61800-3. These products
can cause radio interferences in residential areas. In this case,
special measures can be necessary.
Transport, storage
Please observe the notes on transport, storage, and appropriate
handling. Observe the climatic conditions according to the
technical data.
Installation
The controllers must be installed and cooled according to the
instructions given in the corresponding documentation.
The ambient air must not exceed degree of pollution 2 according
to EN 61800-5-1.
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 electrostatic sensitive devices 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 controllers, observe the applicable
national regulations for the prevention of accidents (e.g. VBG 4).
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.
This documentation contains information on installation in
compliance with EMC (shielding, earthing, filter, and cables).
These notes must also be observed for CE-marked controllers.
The manufacturer of the system is responsible for compliance
with the limit values demanded by EMC legislation. The
controllers must be installed in housings (e.g. control cabinets) to
meet the limit values for radio interferences valid at the site of
installation. The housings must enable an EMC-compliant
installation. Observe in particular that e.g. the control cabinet
doors have a circumferential metal connection to the housing.
Reduce housing openings and cutouts to a minimum.
Lenze controllers may cause a DC current in the PE conductor. If
a residual current device (RCD) is used for protection against
direct or indirect contact for a controller with three-phase
supply, only a residual current device (RCD) of type B is
permissible on the supply side of the controller. If the controller
has a single-phase supply, a residual current device (RCD) of type
A is also permissible. Apart from using a residual current device
(RCD), other protective measures can be taken as well, e.g.
electrical isolation by double or reinforced insulation or isolation
from the supply system by means of a transformer.
Operation
If necessary, systems including controllers must be equipped
with additional monitoring and protection devices according to
the valid safety regulations (e.g. law on technical equipment,
regulations for the prevention of accidents). The controllers can
be adapted to your application. Please observe the
corresponding information given in the documentation.
After the controller has been disconnected from the supply
voltage, all live components and power terminals must not be
touched immediately because capacitors can still be charged.
Please observe the corresponding stickers on the controller.
All protection covers and doors must be shut during operation.
Notes for UL-approved systems with integrated controllers:
UL warnings are notes that only apply to UL systems. The
documentation contains special UL notes.
Certain controller versions support safety functions (e.g. "Safe
torque off", formerly "Safe standstill") according to the
requirements of the EC Directive 2006/42/EC. The notes on the
integrated safety system provided in this documentation must
be observed.
Maintenance and servicing
The controllers do not require any maintenance if the prescribed
operating conditions are observed.
Disposal
Recycle metal and plastic materials. Ensure professional disposal
of assembled PCBs.
The product-specific safety and application notes given in these
instructions must be observed!
