General safety information

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.

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.

Disposal
¯ Recycle or dispose of the product according to the applicable regulations.

 Safety instructions 2
Product−specific safety instructions

2.2 Product−specific safety instructions

¯ 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.
¯ In case of error the device has to be switched to a deenergised state immediately.
For this, disconnect the supply connector and a possibly available UPS pack.
Afterwards the device is to be sent to the manufacturer. The address can be found
on the back of this documentation. For return, please use the original packaging!
¯ Printed circuit boards which might be damaged by short circuit or electrostatic
discharge (ESD) must be handled appropriately.
¯ If an optional battery pack (ACCU−PACK) is used:
– Connect the battery pack before switching on the standard device.
– The standard device is only deenergised if the supply cable and the battery pack
connecting cable have been disconnected.
– If the standard device is disconnected from the mains for a longer time, the
supply cable of the battery pack must be disconnected, so that the rechargeable
batteries are not damaged by a possible exhaustive discharge.
– When being stored, the batteries are losing energy over time. Hence, the
batteries must be fully charged by means of the standard device after a storage
period of six months at the latest.
– The batteries of the battery pack must not be charged by means of external
battery chargers. Use the ACU−UPS power supply unit of the standard device for
this purpose.
¯ If an optional capacitor pack (CAPS−PACK) is used:
– Connect the capacitor pack before switching on the standard device.
– The standard device is only deenergised if the supply cable and the capacitor
pack connecting cable have been disconnected.
– The capacitor pack is only deenergised if its capacitors are discharged.
– The capacitor pack must not be charged by means of external battery chargers.

UPS functionality

3.6 UPS functionality

In case of supply voltage failure, the UPS functionality (uninterrupted current supply) of
the device provides a backup function for saving the user data (retain variables, logbook
data) before the device will be switched off.
In order to minimise the power consumption and increase the safety during the buffer
times, circuitry parts that are not required can optionally be switched off during a supply
voltage failure (e.g. supply of the backplane bus, supply of the devices connected to the
USB ports).

¯ Burns when touching the heatsink.
¯ Fire or smouldering fire if flammable material is placed near the
heatsink or may get to it.
Protective measures:
¯ Before working on the device, check its heatsink temperature.
¯ Select the mounting location so that the operating conditions
mentioned in the technical data are permanently guaranteed.

Note!
On the rear of the device, there are two GapPad strips. These strips serve
to thermally connect the device to the DIN rail. If the strips are defective,
they must be replaced ( 37).
Mounting of the device on the DIN rail is limited to 20 plug cycles. Then
the GapPad strips must be exchanged.
New GapPad strips are available from Lenze (order number EPCZMEG).

¯ The mounting site must always comply with the operating conditions stated in

EMC−compliant wiring

6.2 EMC−compliant wiring

Notes on EMC−compliant wiring

General notes ¯ The electromagnetic compatibility of the system depends on the type of installation
and care taken. Especially consider the following:
– Structure
– Shielding
– Earthing
¯ For installations differing from the one described, the evaluation of the conformity
with the EMC Directive requires a check of the system regarding the EMC limit
values. This for instance applies to:
– Use of unshielded cables
¯ The compliance with the EMC Directive is in the responsibility of the user.
– If you observe the following measures, you can assume that no EMC problems will
occur during operation and that compliance with the EMC Directive and the EMC
law is achieved.
– If devices which do not comply with the CE requirement concerning noise
immunity (EN 6100042) are operated close to the system, these devices may be
electromagnetically affected by the system.
Structure ¯ Provide electrical contact between the DIN rail and the earthed mounting plate:
– Mounting plates with electrically conductive surfaces (zinccoated or stainless steel)
allow permanent contact.
– Painted plates are not suitable for an EMCcompliant installation.
¯ If you use several mounting plates:
– Connect as much surface of the mounting plates as possible (e.g. with copper
strips).
¯ When laying the cables, pay attention to the separation of signal cables and mains
cables.
¯ Lay the cables as close as possible to the reference potential. Freely suspended cables
act like aerials.
Shielding ¯ Only use cables with braided shield if possible.
¯ The overlap rate of the shield should be higher than 80%.
¯ For data cables for serial connection, always use metal or metallised connectors.
Connect the shield of the data cable to the connector shell.
Earthing ¯ Earth all metallically conductive components using suitable cables connected to a
central earthing point (PE bar).
¯ Keep to the minimum crosssections defined in the safety instructions:
– For EMC not the cable crosssection is important, but the surface of the cable and
the contact with a crosssection as large as possible, i.e. large surface.

Stop!
No device protection against excessive input voltage
The voltage input is not fused internally.
Possible consequences:
¯ The device can be destroyed when the input voltage is too high.
Protective measures:
¯ Observe the max. permissible input voltage.
¯ Professionally fuse the device on the input side against voltage
fluctuations and voltage peaks.

Note!
The controller starts as soon as the supply voltage is applied.
After the operating system has been shut down, the controller switches
off automatically. For restarting, the supply voltage has to be
disconnected for a short time.
