C CE Guidelines

C.1 Outline

This section provides general information regarding recommended methods of installation for CE compliance. It is not intended as an exhaustive guide to good practice and wiring techniques. It is assumed that the installer of the MicroFlex e100 is sufficiently qualified to perform the task, and is aware of local regulations and requirements. Baldor products that meet the EMC directive requirements are indicated with a “CE” mark. A duly signed CE declaration of conformity is available from Baldor.

C.1.1 EMC Conformity and CE marking

The information contained herein is for your guidance only and does not guarantee that the installation will meet the requirements of the council directive 89/336/EEC.

The purpose of the EEC directives is to state a minimum technical requirement common to all the member states within the European Union. In turn, these minimum technical requirements are intended to enhance the levels of safety both directly and indirectly.

Council directive 89/336/EEC relating to Electro Magnetic Compliance (EMC) indicates that it is the responsibility of the system integrator to ensure that the entire system complies with all relative directives at the time of installing into service.

Motors and controls are used as components of a system, per the EMC directive. Hence all components, installation of the components, interconnection between components, and shielding and grounding of the system as a whole determines EMC compliance.

The CE mark informs the purchaser that the equipment has been tested and complies with the appropriate standards. It rests upon the manufacturer or his authorized representative to ensure the item in question complies fully with all the relative directives in force at the time of installing into service, in the same way as the system integrator previously mentioned. Remember that it is the instructions of installation and the product that should comply with the directive.

C.1.2 MicroFlex e100 compliance

When installed as directed in this manual, MicroFlex e100 units meet the emission limits for an “industrial” environment, as defined by the EMC directives (EN61000-6-4: 2001). To meet the more stringent emission limits of the “residential, commercial and light industrial” environment (EN61000-6-3: 2001), the MicroFlex e100 must be mounted in a suitable metal cabinet incorporating 360° screened cable glands.
