Safety Instructions

Before installing and putting this equipment into operation, please read these safety instructions and warnings carefully and all the warning labels attached to the equipment. Make sure that the warning labels are kept in a legible condition and replace missing or damaged labels.

WARNING

This equipment contains dangerous voltages and controls dangerous rotating mechanical parts. Loss of life, severe personal injury or property damage can result if the instructions contained in this manual are not followed.

Only suitable qualified personnel should work on this equipment, and only after becoming familiar with all safety notices, installation, operation and maintenance procedures contained in this manual. The successful and safe operation of this equipment is dependent upon its proper handling, installation, operation and maintenance.

MICROMASTERS operate at high voltages.

Only permanently-wired input power connections are allowed. This equipment must be grounded (IEC 536 Class 1, NEC and other applicable standards).

If a Residual Current-operated protective Device (RCD) is to be used, it must be an RCD type B.

Machines with a three phase power supply, fitted with EMC filters, must not be connected to a supply via an ELCB (Earth Leakage Circuit-Breaker - see DIN VDE 0160, section 6.5).

The following terminals can carry dangerous voltages even if the inverter is inoperative:

-the power supply terminals L/L1, N/L2, L3.

-the motor terminals U, V, W.

Only qualified personnel may connect, start the system up and repair faults. These personnel must be thoroughly acquainted with all the warnings and operating procedures contained in this manual.

Certain parameter settings may cause the inverter to restart automatically after an input power failure.

This equipment must not be used as an ‘emergency stop’ mechanism(see EN 60204, 9.2.5.4)

If motor thermal protection is required, then an external PTC must be used. (Refer to Section 2.3.5.)

Lowering the fan tray on Frame Size C MICROMASTER exposes rotating parts. Power must be isolated prior to this operation.

CAUTION

Children and the general public must be prevented from accessing or approaching the equipment!

This equipment may only be used for the purpose specified by the manufacturer. Unauthorised modifications and the use of spare parts and accessories that are not sold or recommended by the manufacturer of the equipment can cause fires, electric shocks and injuries.
