2.1.2 Disposal InstructionDo not dispose of equipment containingelectrical components together withdomestic waste.Collect it separately in accordance withlocal and currently valid legislation.Table 2.2 Disposal Instruction2.2 Software Version2.2.1 Software Version and ApprovalsVLT AQUA DriveThis manual can be used with all VLT AQUA Drive frequencyconverters with software version 1.95.The software version number can be found in parameter 15–43.Table 2.3 Software Version2.3 CE Labelling2.3.1 CE Conformity and LabellingWhat is CE Conformity and Labelling?The purpose of CE labelling is to avoid technical tradeobstacles within EFTA and the EU. The EU has introducedthe CE label as a simple way of showing whether aproduct complies with the relevant EU directives. The CElabel says nothing about the specifications or quality ofthe product. There are three EU directives that regulatefrequency converters:The machinery directive (2006/42/EC)Frequency converters with integrated safety function arenow falling under the Machinery Directive. Danfoss CE-labels in accordance with the directive and issues adeclaration of conformity upon request. Frequencyconverters without safety function do not fall under themachinery directive. However, if a frequency converter issupplied for use in a machine, we provide information onsafety aspects relating to the frequency converter.The low-voltage directive (2006/95/EC)Frequency converters must be CE labelled in accordancewith the low-voltage directive of January 1, 1997. Thedirective applies to all electrical equipment and appliancesused in the 50–1000 V AC and the 75–1500 V DC voltageranges. Danfoss CE-labels in accordance with the directiveand issues a declaration of conformity upon request.The EMC directive (2004/108/EC)EMC is short for electromagnetic compatibility. Thepresence of electromagnetic compatibility means that themutual interference between different components/appliances does not affect the way the appliances work.The EMC directive came into effect January 1, 1996.Danfoss CE-labels in accordance with the directive andissues a declaration of conformity upon request. To carryout EMC-correct installation, see the instructions in thisDesign Guide. Additionally, find specifications of whichstandards the Danfoss products comply with. The filterspresented in the specifications are part of the productrange. Furthermore, Danfoss offers other types ofassistance to ensure optimum EMC result.2.3.2 What Is CoveredThe EU "Guidelines on the Application of Council Directive2004/108/EC" outline three typical situations of using afrequency converter. See the following list for EMCcoverage and CE labelling.1. The frequency converter is sold directly to theend consumer, for example, to a DIY market. Theend consumer is a layman who installs thefrequency converter for use with a householdappliance. For such applications, the frequencyconverter must be CE labelled in accordance withthe EMC directive.2. The frequency converter is sold for installation ina plant designed by professionals of the trade.The frequency converter and the finished plantdo not have to be CE labelled under the EMCdirective. However, the unit must comply withthe basic EMC requirements of the directive.Compliance is ensured by using components,appliances, and systems that are CE labelledunder the EMC directive.3. The frequency converter is sold as part of acomplete system (an air-conditioning system, forexample). The complete system must be CElabelled in accordance with the EMC directive.The manufacturer can ensure CE labelling underthe EMC directive either by using CE labelledcomponents or by testing the EMC of the system.If the manufacturer chooses to use only CElabelled components, there is no need to test theentire system.2.3.3 Danfoss Frequency Converter and CELabellingCE labelling is a positive feature when used for its originalpurpose, which is to facilitate trade within the EU andEFTA.Introduction VLT® AQUA Drive FC 202 Design GuideMG20Z102 - VLT® is a registered Danfoss trademark 132 2
