Step 1—Safety information

Definitions and Symbols

VOLTAGE

This symbol indicates high voltage. It calls your attention
to items or operations that could be dangerous to you
and other persons operating this equipment. Read the
message and follow the instructions carefully.

This symbol is the “Safety Alert Symbol.” It occurs with
either of two signal words: CAUTION or WARNING, as
described below.

WARNING

Indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not
avoided, can result in serious injury or death.

CAUTION

Indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not
avoided, can result in minor to moderate injury, or serious
damage to the product. The situation described in the
CAUTION may, if not avoided, lead to serious results.
Important safety measures are described in CAUTION (as
well as WARNING).

Hazardous High Voltage

Motor control equipment and electronic controllers are
connected to hazardous line voltages. When servicing
drives and electronic controllers, there may be exposed
components with housings or protrusions at or above
line potential. Extreme care should be taken to protect
against shock.

Stand on an insulating pad and make it a habit to use only
one hand when checking components. Always work with
another person in case an emergency occurs. Disconnect
power before checking controllers or performing
maintenance. Be sure equipment is properly grounded. Wear
safety glasses whenever working on electronic controllers or
rotating machinery.

Cautions and notices

Read this manual thoroughly and make sure you understand
the procedures before you attempt to install, set up, or
operate Eaton’s M-Max Series variable frequency drive.

Cautions

Be ABSOLUTELY sure not to connect two functions to one
and same output
ensure flawless operation.

The calculated model does not protect the motor if the
airflow to the motor is reduced by blocked air intake grill.

in order to avoid function overruns and to

Notices

The inputs, unlike the outputs, cannot be changed in RUN
state.

Danger and dangerous electrical voltage

Step 1—S a fe t y in for ma tion

Before commencing the installation

Disconnect the power supply of the device.

Ensure that devices cannot be accidentally restarted.

Verify isolation from the supply.

Earth and short circuit the device.

Cover or enclose any adjacent live components.

Follow the engineering instructions IL04020001E for the
device concerned.

Only suitably qualified personnel in accordance with EN
50110-1/-2 (VDE 0105 Part 100) may work on this device/
system.

Before installation and before touching the device, ensure
that you are free of electrostatic charge.

The functional earth (FE, PES) must be connected to the
protective earth (PE) or the potential equalization. The
system installer is responsible for implementing this
connection.

Connecting cables and signal lines should be installed so that
inductive or capacitive interference does not impair the
automation functions.

Install automation devices and related operating elements in
such a way that they are well protected against unintentional
operation.

Suitable safety hardware and software measures should be
implemented for the I/O interface so that an open circuit on
the signal side does not result in undefined states in the
automation devices.

Ensure a reliable electrical isolation of the extra-low voltage
of the 24V supply. Only use power supply units complying
with IEC 60364-4-41 (VDE 0100 Part 410) or HD384.4.41 52.

Deviations of the mains voltage from the rated value must
not exceed the tolerance limits given in the specifications,
otherwise this may cause malfunction and dangerous
operation.

Emergency stop devices complying with IEC/EN 60204-1
must be effective in all operating modes of the automation
devices. Unlatching the emergency-stop devices must not
cause a restart.

Devices that are designed for mounting in housings or
control cabinets must only be operated and controlled after
they have been installed and with the housing closed.
Desktop or portable units must only be operated and
controlled in enclosed housings.

Measures should be taken to ensure the proper restart of
programs interrupted after a voltage dip or failure. This
should not cause dangerous operating states even for a short
time. If necessary, emergency-stop devices should be
implemented.

Wherever faults in the automation system may cause injury
or material damage, external measures must be
implemented to ensure a safe operating state in the event of
a fault or malfunction (for example, by means of separate
limit switches, mechanical interlocks, etc.).

Depending on their degree of protection, frequency inverters
may contain live bright metal parts, moving or rotating
components, or hot surfaces during and immediately after
operation.

Removal of the required covers, improper installation or
incorrect operation of motor or frequency inverter may cause
the failure of the device and may lead to serious injury or
damage.

The applicable national accident prevention and safety
regulations apply to all work carried on live frequency
inverters.

The electrical installation must be carried out in accordance
with the relevant regulations (e.g., with regard to cable cross
sections, fuses, PE).

Transport, installation, commissioning and maintenance work
must be carried out only by qualified personnel (IEC 60364,
HD 384 and national occupational safety regulations).

Installations containing frequency inverters must be provided
with additional monitoring and protective devices in
accordance with the applicable safety regulations.
Modifications to the frequency inverters using the operating
software are permitted.

Mains voltages

The given rated operational voltages in Table 3 are based on
the standardized rated values in centrally earthed star
networks.

In ring-type networks (e.g., Europe) the rated voltage
corresponds the value of the consumer networks
(e.g., 230V, 400V) at the utility company’s transfer point.

In star-type mains (e.g., North America) the rated voltage
at the utility company’s transfer point is higher than in the
consumer network. For example: 120V R 115V, 240V R
230V, 480V R 460V.
