NOTICE
Danger of property damage due to unsuitable site of installation!
Unsuitable ambient conditions can damage the device by impairing its ability to
function properly.
● Only install the variable speed drive in areas which are free from jolts,
vibrations, electromagnetic fields, and corrosive gases.
● Maintain the ambient conditions which are specified in the technical data,
such as temperature, pressure, humidity, etc. (Chapter Technical data
[➙ 93]).
● Ensure that the correct level of ventilation and air flow is provided.
● IP20 devices may only be operated in closed housings or in higher-level
control cabinets with protective covers that are closed, and when all of the
protective devices are used.
Electrostatic sensitive devices (ESD) are individual components, integrated circuits,
modules, or devices that may be damaged by either electrostatic fields or
electrostatic discharges.
NOTICE
Danger of property damage due to electrical fields or electrostatic discharge!
Electrical fields or electrostatic discharge can cause malfunctions due to
damaged individual components, integrated circuits, modules, or devices.
● Only pack, store, transport, and deliver electronic components, modules, or
devices in their original packaging or in other suitable materials, e.g.,
conductive foam rubber of aluminum foil.
● Only touch components, modules, and devices when you are grounded by
one of the following methods: By an ESD wrist strap or ESD footwear or ESD
grounding straps in ESD areas with a conductive floor.
● Only place electronic components, modules, or devices on conductive
surfaces (table with ESD surface, conductive ESD foam, ESD packaging or
ESD transport container).
