Product Description
CE filter options are designed to be used with the VSM500 Integrated Drive/Motor. The main function of the CE
filter is to reduce the radio frequency conducted emissions into the main supply lines and ground wiring. This
instruction manual provides the steps needed to install the filter.
Important: Declarations of Conformity (DOC) to the European Union Directives are available for Reliance
Electric AC drive products. Please contact the Rockwell AutoFax service at 216-646-7777 for

ATTENTION:RFI filters can only be used with AC supplies that are nominally balanced with
respect to ground. In some installations, three-phase supplies are occasionally connected in a
!
3-wire configuration with one phase grounded (Grounded Delta). The filter must not be used in
Grounded Delta supplies. Failure to observe this precaution could result in damage to, or
destruction of, the equipment.
