2 Safety instructions
2.1 General safety information
Scope
The following general safety instructions apply to all Lenze drive and automation
components.
The product−specific safety and application notes given in this documentation must be
observed!
For your own safety
Danger!
Disregarding the following basic safety measures may lead to severe
personal injury and damage to material assets!
¯ Lenze drive and automation components ...
... must only be used for the intended purpose.
... must never be operated if damaged.
... must never be subjected to technical modifications.
... must never be operated unless completely assembled.
... must never be operated without the covers/guards.
... can − depending on their degree of protection − have live, movable or rotating parts
during or after operation. Surfaces can be hot.
¯ For Lenze drive and automation components ...
... only use approved accessories.
... only use original manufacturer spare parts.
¯ All specifications of the corresponding enclosed documentation must be
observed.
This is vital for a safe and trouble−free operation and for achieving the specified
product features.
The procedural notes and circuit details provided in this document are proposals
which the user must check for suitability for his application. The manufacturer does
not accept any liability for the suitability of the specified procedures and circuit
proposals.
¯ Only qualified skilled personnel are permitted to work with or on Lenze drive and
automation components.
According to IEC 60364 or CENELEC HD 384, these are persons ...
... who are familiar with the installation, assembly, commissioning and operation of
the product,
... possess the appropriate qualifications for their work,
... and are acquainted with and can apply all the accident prevent regulations,
directives and laws applicable at the place of use.
Transport, storage
¯ Transport and storage in a dry, low−vibration environment without aggressive
atmosphere; preferably in the packaging provided by the manufacturer.
– Protect against dust and impacts.
– Observe climatic conditions according to the technical data.

Mechanical installation
¯ Install the product according to the regulations of the corresponding
documentation. In particular observe the section "Operating conditions" in the
chapter "Technical data".
¯ Provide for a careful handling and avoid mechanical overload. During handling
neither bend components, nor change the insulation distances.
¯ The product contains electrostatic sensitive devices which can easily be damaged
by short circuit or static discharge (ESD). Thus, electronic components and
contacts must not be touched unless ESD measures are taken beforehand.
Electrical installation
¯ Carry out the electrical installation according to the relevant regulations (e. g.
cable cross−sections, fusing, connection to the PE conductor). Additional notes are
included in the documentation.
¯ When working on live products, observe the applicable national regulations for
the prevention of accidents (e.g. BGV 3).
¯ The Instructions contain notes concerning wiring according to EMC regulations
(shielding, earthing, filters and cable routing). The compliance with limit values
required by the EMC legislation is the responsibility of the manufacturer of the
machine or system.
Warning: The inverters are automation components which can be used in industrial
environment according to EN 61000−6−4. These products may cause radio
interference in residential areas. If this happens, the operator may need to take
appropriate action.
¯ For compliance with the limit values for radio interference emission at the site of
installation, the components − if specified in the technical data − have to be
mounted in housings (e. g. control cabinets). The housings have to enable an
EMC−compliant installation. In particular observe that for example control cabinet
doors preferably have a circumferential metallic connection to the housing.
Reduce openings or cutouts through the housing to a minimum.
¯ Only plug in or remove pluggable terminals in the deenergised state!
Commissioning
¯ If required, you have to equip the system with additional monitoring and
protective devices in accordance with the respective valid safety regulations (e. g.
law on technical equipment, regulations for the prevention of accidents).
Maintenance and servicing
¯ The components are maintenance−free if the required operating conditions are
observed.
¯ If the cooling air is polluted, the cooling surfaces may be contaminated or the air
vents may be blocked. Under these operating conditions, the cooling surfaces and
air vents must be cleaned at regular intervals. Never use sharp objects for this
purpose!
¯ After the system has been disconnected from the supply voltage, live components
and power connections must not be touched immediately because capacitors may
be charged. Please observe the corresponding notes on the device.

2.2 Product−specific safety instructions
¯ Protect the device against direct solar radiation, since the housing may heat up
strongly.
¯ The device is classified as a class A device and can cause radio interference in
residential areas. In this case, the operator may have to take special measures.
Any costs arising from these measures have to be paid by the operator.
¯ A touchscreen does not comply with the Ergonomics Directive ZH 1/618. This is
why it is only designed for short−time inputs and monitoring functions. For longer
inputs, connect an external keyboard.
¯ In the event of a fault, unplug the power connector immediately and send back
the device to the manufacturer. The address can be found on the self−addressed
envelope included in this documentation. Please use the original packaging to
return the device!
Stop!
The product contains electrostatic sensitive devices.
Before working in the connection area, the personnel must be free of
electrostatic charge.
