3.4 Approvals
3.4.1 CE conformance
Conformity with the EC Directive on EMC 89/336/EEC and the Low Voltage Directive
73/23/EEC is mandatory for servoamplifiers supplied within the European Union.
To fulfill the EMC directive, the standard EN 61800-3 is applied. The Declaration of Con-
formity form can be found on our website (download area).
In the reference to noise immunity the servoamplifier fulfills the requirement to the cate-
gory second environment (industrial environment). For noise emission the amplifier meets
the requirement to a product of the category C2 (motor cable
£ 25m).
Warning!
This product can cause high-frequency interferences in non industrial
environments which can require measures for interference suppression.
The servo amplifiers have been tested by an authorized testing laboratory in a defined
configuration with the system components which are described in this documentation.
Any divergence from the configuration and installation described in this documentation
means that you will be responsible for carrying out new measurements to ensure that the
regulatory requirements are fulfilled.
To fulfill the Low Voltage Directive, the standard EN 50178 has to be applied.
3.4.2 UL and cUL- Conformance
This servo amplifier is listed under UL file number E217428.
UL (cUL)-certified servo amplifiers (Underwriters Laboratories Inc.) fulfil the relevant U.S.
and Canadian standard (in this case UL 840 and UL 508C).
This standard describes the fulfilment by design of minimum requirements for electrically
operated power conversion equipment, such as frequency converters and servo amplifi-
ers, which is intended to eliminate the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons,
being caused by such equipment.
UL(cUL) regulations also specify the minimum technical requirements of electrical
devices, in order to take the necessary measures against the risk of fire, which can be
triggered by electrically operated devices. The technical conformance with the U.S. and
Canadian standard is determined by an independent UL (cUL) inspector through the type
testing and regular checkups.
Apart from the notes on installation and safety in the documentation, the customer does
not have to observe any other points in direct connection with the UL (cUL)-certification of
the equipment.
UL 508C
UL 508C describes the fulfilment by design of minimum requirements for electrically oper-
ated power conversion equipment, such as frequency converters and servo amplifiers,
which is intended to eliminate the risk of fire being caused by such equipment.
UL 840
UL 840 describes the fulfilment by design of air and insulation creepage spacings for
electrical equipment and printed circuit boards.
