Certification for the Converter 12-1512C Series ConverterChapter 12 CERTIFICATION FOR THE CONVERTERCautionThe integration of this product into other apparatus or systems is not the responsibility ofParker Hannifin Manufacturing Limited, with respect to applicability, effectivity, or safetyof operation of the other apparatus or systemsEMC and the 'CE' Mark'CE' EMC ResponsibilityThe following sections are the minimum necessary for installation and basic understanding.Parker Hannifin Manufacturing Limited are adhering to the CEMEP recommendations on ‘CE’marking for EMC. According to SI No. 2372, implementing the EMC directive into UK law, therequirement to CE mark for EMC, applies only to relevant apparatus that has ‘intrinsicfunction’ to the end user and which is placed on the market (supplied). The majority of drivemodules/systems sold by Parker Hannifin Manufacturing Limited will be incorporated into ahigher system/apparatus or machine which includes (at least) the motor, cable and a driven loadbefore providing intrinsic function to the end user. As such the majority of Parker HannifinManufacturing Limited products are categorised as components (CEMEP validity field 2) and itwould be incorrect for Parker Hannifin Manufacturing Limited to apply the CE mark or producean EC Declaration of Conformity in respect of EMC. It is the manufacturer/supplier/installer ofthe relevant apparatus (with the intrinsic function to the end user) who must demonstrateconformance to the EMC directiveHowever, in a minority of cases, single drives may have intrinsic function to the end user. Anexample is that of ‘add on’ intrinsic function, where an existing fixed speed motor application(such as a fan or a pump) is converted to variable speed with an add on drive module (CEMEPvalidity field 1). In this application Parker Hannifin Manufacturing Limited CE mark its drivemodule and issue an EC declaration of conformity. Because the validity of the ‘CE’ mark forEMC is not known when the product is manufactured, the ‘CE’ mark will be applied via theproduct manual, and will not be on the product label. From 1997, when the ‘CE’ mark for theLow Voltage Directive becomes mandatory, the CE mark will appear on the product label, butits validity for EMC can only be identified from the product manual.To assist manufacturers/suppliers/installers of relevant apparatus, the Parker HannifinManufacturing Limited 512C modules are EMC compliant to EN50081-1 (1992), EN50082-1(1992), EN50081-2 (1994) and prEN50082-2 (1992), when fitted with the specified filter andinstalled according to these instructions, as confirmed by the Manufacturers EMC declaration tobe found at the end of this chapter. Manufacturers/suppliers/installers of relevant apparatus(CEMEP validity fields 3 & 4) may use this compliance as a basis for their own justification ofoverall compliance with the EMC Directive.It must be clearly understood by the customer before installation commences who is legallyresponsible for conformance with the EMC Directive. Misappropriation of the CE mark is acriminal offence.This manual was downloaded on www.sdsdrives.com+44 (0)117 938 1800 - info@sdsdrives.com
