Application as directed
Drive controllers are components which are designed for installation in electrical systems
or machinery. They are not to be used as household appliances. They are intended
exclusively for professional and commercial purposes according to EN 61000-3-2. The
documentation includes information on compliance with the EN 61000-3-2.
When installing the controllers into machines, commissioning (i.e. starting of operation as
directed) is prohibited until it is proven that the machine complies with the regulations of
the EC Directive 98/37/EC (Machinery Directive); EN 60204 must be observed.
Commissioning (i.e. starting of operation as directed) is only allowed when there is
compliance with the EMC Directive (89/336/EEC).
The controllers meet the requirements of the Low-Voltage Directive 73/23/EEC. The
harmonised standards of the series EN 61800-5-1 apply to the controllers.
The technical data and information on connection conditions must be obtained from the
nameplate and the documentation. They must be observed in any case.
Warning: The controllers can be used according to EN 61800-3 in drive systems of the
category C2. These products can cause radio interferences in residential areas. In this case,
special measures are required.
