General notes

Dear user,

We are happy that you have made a decision in favour of a product from LTi DRiVES GmbH. In order to be able to start using your new ServoOne quickly and without problems, we ask you also to read the Operation Manual thoroughly beforehand.

We reserve the right to make technical changes

The content of our documentation was compiled with the greatest care and attention, and based on the latest information available to us. We should nevertheless point out that this document cannot always be updated in line with ongoing technical developments in our products. Information and specifications may be subject to change at any time. Please visit lt-i.com for details of the latest versions.

The instructions set out below should be read through prior to initial commissioning in order to prevent injury and/or damage to property. The safety instructions must be followed at all times.

General notes and safety instructions by hazard class according to ANSI Z 535

	NOTE: Information on a specific topic.
	ATTENTION! Read the Operation Manual first! Follow the safety instructions! Refer to the user information!	Serious injury or damage to property may occur.
	DANGER! Electric drives are dangerous: Electrical voltages of 230 V to 890 V Dangerously high voltages ≥ 50 V may still be present 30 minutes after the power is cut (capacitor charge). So check that the power has been cut! Rotating parts Hot surface	Death or serious injury will occur.
	DANGER! Protection against magnetic and/or electromagnetic fields during installation and operation. Persons fitted with heart pacemakers, metallic implants and hearing aids etc. must not be allowed access to the following areas: Areas where drive systems are installed, repaired and operated. Areas where motors are installed, repaired and operated. Motors with permanent magnets pose a particular hazard. Note: If it is necessary to access such areas, suitability to do so must be determined beforehand by a doctor
	DANGER! Caution: Moving parts Drive executes movements automatically.	Death or serious injury will occur.
	Your qualification: In order to prevent personal injury and damage to property, only personnel with electrical engineering qualifications may work on the device. The said qualified personnel must be familiar with the contents of the Operation Manual (cf. IEC 364, DIN VDE 0100). Awareness of national accident prevention regulations (e.g. BGV A3 in Germany)
	Installation notice: Always comply with the connection conditions and technical specifications. Comply with the standards for electrical installations, such as regarding wire cross-section, grounding lead and ground connections. Do not touch electronic components and contacts (electrostatic discharge may destroy components).

Tabelle: Pictograms used

Intended use

Drive controllers are built-in units intended for installation in stationary electrical, industrial and commercial plant or machinery.

When installed in machines the commissioning of the drive controller (i.e. start-up of intended operation) is prohibited, unless it has been ascertained that the machine fully complies with the Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC; compliance with EN 60204 is mandatory.

Commissioning – i.e. putting the device to its intended use – is only permitted in compliance with the EMC Directive (2004/108/EC).

The drive controller conforms to the Low Voltage Directive 2006/95/EC. The drive controllers conform to the requirements of the harmonized product standard EN 61800-5-1:2003.

If the drive controller is used for special applications (e.g. in areas subject to explosion hazard), the required standards and regulations (e.g. EN 50014, "General provisions" and EN 50018 "Flameproof housing") must always be observed.
Repairs may only be carried out by authorized repair workshops. Unauthorized opening and incorrect intervention could lead to death, physical injury or material damage. The warranty provided by LTi DRiVES GmbH would thereby be rendered void.

Responsibility:

Electronic devices are fundamentally not fail-safe. The company setting up and/or operating the machine or system is itself responsible for ensuring that the drive is rendered safe if the device fails.

EN 60204-1/DIN VDE 0113 "Safety of machines", in the section on "Electrical equipment of machines", stipulates safety requirements for electrical controls. They are intended to protect personnel and machinery, and to maintain the function capability of the machine or system concerned, and must be observed.

The function of an emergency off system does not necessarily have to cut the power supply to the drive. To protect against danger, it may be more beneficial to maintain individual drives in operation or to initiate specific safety sequences. Execution of the emergency off measure is assessed by means of a risk analysis of the machine or system, including the electrical equipment to EN ISO 14121 (formerly DIN EN 1050), and is determined with selection of the circuit category in accordance with EN ISO 13849-1 (formerly DIN EN 954-1) "Safety of machines - Safety-related parts of controls".

NOTE: Use of the drive controllers in non-stationary equipment is classed as non-standard ambient conditions, and is permissible only by special agreement.
