16bASIc SAFeTy INSTrUcTIONSESDDrive converters contain electrostatic sensitive components.► Avoid contact.► Wear ESD-protective clothing.Do not store drive converters• in the environment of aggressive and/or conductive liquids or gases.• with direct sunlight.• outside the specified environmental conditions.1.3 InstallationDANGer Do not operate in an explosive environment!EX► The COMBIVERT is not intended for the use in potentially explosiveenvironment.cAUTION Design-related edges and high weight!contusions and bruises!► Never stand under suspended loads.► Wear safety shoes.► Secure drive converter accordingly when using lifting gear.To prevent damages to the device:• Make sure that no components are bent and/or isolation distances are changed.• The device must not be put into operation in case of mechanical defects. There isno compliance with applicable safety standards any more.• Do not allow moisture or mist to penetrate the unit.• Avoid dust permeating the device. Allow for sufficient heat dissipation if installed ina dust-proof housing.• Note installation position and minimum distances to surrounding elements. Do notcover the ventilation openings.• Mount the drive converter according to the specified degree of protection.• Make sure that no small parts fall into the COMBIVERT during assembly and wiring(drilling chips, screws etc.). This also applies to mechanical components, which canlose small parts during operation.• Check for reliable fit of device connections in order to minimize contact resistanceand avoid sparking.• Do not walk-on drive converter.• The safety instructions are to be kept!
