2. Secure against reconnection.
3. Verify absence of operating voltage.
4. Ground and short-circuit.
5. Provide protection against adjacent live parts.
To energize the system, apply the measures in reverse order.
Danger to life as a result of high voltages at the capacitors and in the DC link
High voltages are still present at the capacitors of the power cell and at the DC link even after the
system has been shut down. Touching live parts can result in death or serious injury.
• A label on the drive specifies the discharge times of the DC link capacitors. Only open the drive
once these discharge times have elapsed.
• Observe the five safety rules when performing any work.
Data loss
Electromagnetic fields can cause data loss to magnetic or electronic data storage media.
• Therefore, do not carry magnetic or electronic data storage media with you.
Persons responsible for plants and systems can find additional information on electromagnetic
fields under "Information for persons responsible for plants and systems (Page 20)."
ESD guidelines
• Bring components into contact only with ESD-compliant materials, e.g. ESD tables, ESD
surfaces, ESD packaging.
• Only carry out measurements on the components if one of the following conditions is met:
– The measuring device is grounded with a protective conductor, for example.
– The measuring head of a floating measuring device has been discharged directly before
the measurement.
The necessary ESD protective measures for the entire working range for electrostatically
sensitive devices are illustrated once again in the following drawings.

Danger to life when not complying with proper use of the devices
Improper use of the devices described can result in death, severe injury or material damage.
• Please observe all instructions for proper use.
The nominated person in control of an electrical installation must ensure that the
following points are observed:
• Follow the local and industry-specific safety and setup regulations. Observe the
requirements in the guidelines specified in the "Standards and regulations" section of the
"Technical data and drawings." Ensure that the specific safety and construction regulations
and the regulations for using personal protective equipment are observed during all work.
• The operating instructions and the complete product documentation are always available
when carrying out any work.
• The technical data as well as the specifications relating to the permissible installation,
connection, ambient and operating conditions are taken into account at all times.
• Only qualified personnel or personnel supervised by responsible, skilled specialists are
allowed to carry out basic planning and all work on the device.
• During shipping, specific transport conditions are adhered to.
• Assembly is performed according to assembly instructions. Separate cabinet units are
connected properly (cables and busbars).
• All instructions for EMC-compatible installation, cabling, shielding, grounding, and for
adequate auxiliary power supply are to be observed.
• Commissioning is only to be performed by qualified personnel trained for that purpose in
accordance with the commissioning instructions.
• System configuration is carried out by an experienced system integrator. Additional system
components - such as circuit-breaker, transformer, cables and motor - are coordinated and
harmonized with one another for drive operation.
• The device is only operated in conjunction with the engineered components.
• Different operating modes, overloads, load cycles, and differing environmental conditions
are permitted only after special arrangement with the manufacturer.
Make use of the support and services offered by the relevant service center for planning,
installation, commissioning, and servicing work. You can find the relevant contact person under
"Service & Support (Page 137)".
Note
The drive does not have a grounding breaker at the input/output. The system operator must,
therefore, ensure that there is sufficient grounding.
WARNING
High voltages and arcs
Circuit breakers are safety components. Connecting or setting the circuit breaker incorrectly
can result in death, serious injury, or material damage.
• Connect the circuit breakers correctly.
• Select the system values that match the converter.
To ensure adequate converter protection, the circuit breaker provided by the customer must
fulfill the following requirements:
• The total opening time of the circuit breaker – from the command to actually opening – must
not be more than 80 ms. It is not permissible that the opening time, specified in the technical
documentation of the circuit breaker manufacturer, exceeds 80 ms. The converter monitors
the total opening time.
• The converter monitors the TRIP coils (shunt releases) for wire breakage and failure of the
control voltage in the switchgear installation.
• The circuit breaker must be equipped with an undervoltage tripping function. The
undervoltage trip unit (low-voltage coil) is controlled via the tripping circuit in which the
"undervoltage trip unit" of the converter must also be integrated. The auxiliary voltage from
the switchgear (this is a reliable supply) is used as the supply.
• Avoid additional delay times when controlling the circuit breaker. All commands from the
drive to the circuit breaker must act directly without intervention of coupling relays.
• A feedback signal must be available for each of the circuit breaker states CLOSED and OPEN.
The feedback signals must not be delayed. Do not use any coupling relays.
• An additional, independently operating overcurrent protection for the circuit breaker must
be provided on the plant side (transformer and cable protection).
• The circuit breaker is activated and enabled by the converter closed-loop controller. Under no
circumstances should you close the circuit breaker by external mechanical or electrical
means. A mechanical interlock of the manual ON command at the circuit breaker prevents
destruction of the converter as a result of an uncoordinated switch-on operation.
• Damage from pressure build-up during electric arcs in the event of a fault
If the building has not been designed correctly in terms of how it has been dimensioned,
damage can result from the pressure that can possibly build up inside.
• Dangerous electric arcs during internal faults
The devices have been designed according to the relevant IEC standards, and tested in line
with strict type-testing procedures. They were developed and manufactured so that there is
a very low probability of internal faults occurring. However, internal faults cannot be
completely ruled out.
WARNING
Dangerous electric arcs during internal faults
Defects such as damage to components, overvoltages, or loose parts, as well as exceptional
operating statuses, can cause a failure within the enclosure. This can result in an internal
electric arc. If an electric arc occurs and people are nearby, this could lead to death, serious
physical injury, and damage to property.
• Ensure that only qualified personnel perform any work that is required.
• Observe the safety and operating instructions in this documentation and labels attached to
the device for any work that is performed.
The device and its associated components are subject to an extensive safety concept. When used
properly, the security concept guarantees safe installation, safe operation as well as safe service
and maintenance.
The safety concept encompasses safety components and functions to protect the device and
operators. The device is also equipped with monitoring functions to protect external
components.
The device operates safely when the interlock and protection systems are functioning properly.
Nevertheless, there are areas that are hazardous for personnel and that cause material damage
if the safety information of all the instructions and the labels on the device are not strictly
complied with.
The door interlocking system prevents access to the power unit while operational. The following
conditions must be fulfilled in order to open the doors: For additional information, see Chapter
"Opening the device (Page 104)".
The internal components of the drive have the following protection and monitoring functions:
• Drive protection based on monitoring systems:
– Current monitoring
– DC link monitoring
– Monitoring the output voltage
– Thermal monitoring of the power unit
– Precharging monitoring
– Supply voltage monitoring
– Insulation monitoring
– Monitoring of the common power supply
– Circuit breaker monitoring
– Re-cooling unit monitoring
• Shutdown in the event of semiconductor failure
• Shutdown in the event of control component failure
• Internal protection functions for the control hardware
• Protection against communication failure between the closed-loop control and the power
unit
• Anti-condensation heating
3.2 Design
The drive in the basic configuration is equipped with the following components:
• An Active Line Module based on M2C technology
• A Motor Module deploying M2C technology
The purpose of the Control Module is for the open-loop and closed-loop control of the drive.
Operating control and diagnostics of the drive are also realized using the Control Module.
Note
Details on the design can be found in the layout diagram.
The DC connection module (DCM) contains all additional components relating to the DC link –
as well as the components required for precharging the Cabinet Modules.
The Motor Modules provide the power for the connected motor. The Motor Module is supplied
with power for the motor via the DC link.
The Motor Module is built in M2C technology with IGBT semiconductors. Motor Modules in M2C
technology provide the motor with almost sinusoidal voltages. The Motor Module in M2C
technology comprises a submodule and a branch reactor cabinet.
• The power cells are housed with the IGBT semiconductors in the submodule cabinet.
• The branch reactors and the associated measuring equipment can be found in the branch
reactor cabinet.
The inverter unit has three phases. Each phase comprises two so-called M2C branches. The six
branches of the M2C inverter each consist of identical power cells connected in series. The phase
of the voltage-source DC link drive is realized employing M2C technology using power cells
connected in series for two branches.
Note
Details on the design can be found in the layout diagram.

Active Line Modules can supply energy and return regenerative energy to the line supply.
Active Line Modules generate a controlled DC voltage. The direct voltage remains constant
regardless of line voltage fluctuations. In this case, the line voltage fluctuations must remain
within the permissible tolerance range.
The Active Line Module is built in M2C technology with IGBT semiconductors. Active Line
Modules employing M2C technology draw a virtually sinusoidal current from the supply system
and therefore do not cause any harmful current harmonics. The Active Line Module employing
M2C technology comprises a submodule and a branch reactor cabinet.
• The power cells are housed with the IGBT semiconductors in the submodule cabinet.
• The branch reactors and the associated measuring equipment can be found in the branch
reactor cabinet.
The inverter unit has 3 phases, whereby each phase comprises 2 M2C branches. The 6 branches
of the M2C inverter each consist of identical power cells connected in series. The phase of the
voltage-source DC link drive is realized employing M2C technology using power cells connected
in series for two branches.
Note
Additional information
Details on the design can be found in the layout diagram.

The internal water circuit is filled with deionized water (deionized, fully-desalinated water). The
conductivity of the cooling water must be ≤ 1 µS/cm in operation.
NOTICE
Material damage due to inadmissible additives in the deionized water
Inadmissible additives in the deionized water can cause the cooling system to fail. This could
damage the drive.
• Use only deionized water that corresponds to the specifications. The specification of the
deionized water can be found in the documentation for the re-cooling unit.
• The level in the deionized water expansion tank and the pump motor circuit breakers are
monitored. Any water leak is also detected.
• The pressure of the deionized water is displayed on a manometer. If the flow is excessively
low, then the re-cooling unit automatically switches over the pumps.
• The deionized water temperature is measured. The value is used for controlling the three-
way valve
• If one of the monitoring devices responds, a signal is output or the re-cooling unit and drive
are switched off.
Value
Conductivity during filling < 10 μS/cm
Evaporation residue < 20 mg/l
pH value 5 to 9
Value
• Content of metals in the hydrogen sulfide group (lead, antimony, Not detectable
tin, bismuth, arsenic, copper, cadmium)
• Content of metals from the ammonium sulfide group (iron, co‐
balt, nickel, chrome, manganese)
• Content of sulfur chloride and nitrogen compounds
Content of oxidizable, organic substances Max. a quantity equivalent to the
usage of 30 mg/l potassium per‐
manganate KMnO4
Ion exchanger
An ion exchanger is installed in the re-cooling unit. The ion exchanger is connected in the
deionized water circuit.
If the conductivity exceeds the permissible limits, then a message is output. In this case, replace
the filling in the ion exchanger with an original filling. If the conductivity continues to rise, the
re-cooling unit and drive are switched off. The ion exchanger is a consumable and is not covered
by the warranty.
Dirt filters
The re-cooling unit is equipped with several dirt filters
• A dirt filter with a sieve (mesh width: 0.5 mm) is located in front of the drive intake.
• A fine filter (mesh width: 0.05 mm) is located at the ion filter outlet.
• An air filter is fitted on the expansion tank.
that filter out dirt and contamination from the water circuit, thereby preventing the drive from
being damaged.
The raw water flows through the heat exchanger. The heat exchanger cools the deionized water.
If other raw water specifications apply, titanium heat exchanger plates or tube bundle heat
exchangers are available (optional).
NOTICE
Material damage caused by deposits of suspended solids
If you reduce the flow rate to reduce the raw water usage, then deposits of suspended solids
can build up in the heat exchanger as a result of the slow flow rate.
These suspended solids can then cause the cooling system to fail. The drive could be damaged.
Only reduce the raw water flow rate if the raw water does not have any suspended solids.
Value
Size of entrained particles < 0.5 mm
pH value 6.5 to 8.0
Carbonate hardness < 0.9 mMol/l (5 °dH)
Total hardness < 1.7 mMol/l (9.5 °dH)
Chloride 60 mg/l
Sulfate 80 mg/l
Nitrate 10 mg/l
Core 0.2 mg/l
Ammonia 10 mg/l
Dissolved solids <3.4 mMol/l (340 ppm)
Where values deviate from the above stated, a water analysis should be carried out in order to
ensure the long-term stability of the heat exchanger.
3.8 Components
The CU320-2 PN Control Unit is the central control module of the drive's open-loop and closed-
loop control system. The connections are wired internally to the customer terminal block.
The Power Stack Adapter (PSA) acts as the physical interface between the power unit and the
open-loop/closed-loop controller. This is where the galvanic isolation (electrical coupling via
light) between the power unit and the open-loop controller takes place. Data is exchanged
between the Power Stack Adapter and the Control Unit via the DRIVE-CLiQ high-speed serial
communication interface.
See also
DRIVE-CLiQ interface (Page 48)
LEDs of the Power Stack Adapters (Page 98)
The Terminal Modules are the central interface for digital and analog inputs and outputs. You
can optionally expand the interface to include additional Terminal Modules.
The Voltage Sensing Module VSM10 measures the actual line voltage values for the Active Line
Module.
A power cell comprises the following mechanical units that can be separated:
• IGBT module
• Capacitor bank
See also
Replacing a power cell (Page 120)
• Control electronics
• Discharge resistors
A branch reactor is located in each phase, between the branch connections and the phase
output. The IGBTs can limit and disconnect a short-circuit current. This means that the converter
is short-circuit proof, that is, a short-circuit will not damage the device but instead will cause the
converter to stop.
For M2C topology, a low-inductance busbar is only required within the power cell. The control
electronics takes its power from the capacitor bank. The gating electronics is mounted directly
above the IGBT modules, and therefore guarantees a compact design with high noise immunity.
The power semiconductors are connected via the gating electronics. The gating command is
transmitted from the Power Stack Adapter (PSA) to the gating electronics via a plastic fiber-optic
cable connection.
The electromechanical door interlock system is designed to protect personnel, and is an integral
part of the safety concept. During operation all the doors are interlocked (with the exception of
the door for the Control Module).
The electromechanical door interlocking system prevents access to the power unit while
operational. The following conditions must be fulfilled in order to open the doors. You can open
the doors once released by the control.
For more information see section "Opening device" in the "Maintenance" chapter.
The device cannot be switched on again until all the doors are closed. The doors remain
interlocked if the auxiliary voltage fails. For more information on this topic, see section "Repair"
in the "Maintenance" chapter.

Opening the doors (Page 104)
3.8.8 Precharging
The power cell capacitors must be precharged in order to avoid overcurrents and temporary
overvoltage conditions in the DC link when connecting the line supply. The DC link is precharged
via the auxiliary supply.
The precharging circuit comprises the following components:
• Precharging transformer
• Diode bridge
• Precharging resistors
• Contactor for switching on and off
• Circuit-breaker
Detailed information about interconnecting the precharging components is provided in the
circuit manual. The component mounting locations are provided in the layout diagram.

Note
Control and signal lines must always be connected according to the circuit diagrams supplied
with the unit. Detailed information about connecting the components is given in the
interconnection diagram.
Note
We recommend using shielded cables. Unshielded cables can transfer disturbances to the
control and signal lines and lead to malfunctions in the drive.
Note
To ensure trouble-free operation without interference or disturbances, route the power cables
and signal lines separately. Interference, for example, will result in the device not behaving as
expected.
When connecting and routing power and signal cables, observe the instructions provided in
chapter "Electromagnetic compatibility (Page 75)".
Note
We recommend that EMC is planned for the entire plant.
Cabinet installation
• Connect painted or anodized metal components using contact washers or remove the
insulating layer.
• Use unpainted, de-oiled mounting plates.
• Establish a central connection between ground and the protective conductor system (PE
protective conductor).
Cable installation
• Cables that are subject to or sensitive to interference should be laid as far apart from each
other as possible.
• The distance between the power cable and the signal cable should be at least 20 cm. Device-
specific data apply for power cables. You can find further information on power cables under
"Connecting power cables".
• When the cables are routed close to ground potential, the immunity to interference is
increased. For this reason, you are advised to lay these cables along edges and at ground
potential.
• Ground the reserve cores on at least one end.
• In order to avoid additional locations where interference can be coupled in, long cables
should be shortened or routed where there is little interference.
• If conductors or cables conduct signals of different classes, then the conductors and cables
must cross at a right angle. This especially involves sensitive and noisy signals.
– Class 1:
Unshielded cables for ≤ 60 V DC
Unshielded cables for ≤ 25 V AC
Shielded analog signal cables
Shielded bus and data cables
Operator panel interfaces, incremental/absolute encoder cables
– Class 2:
Unshielded cables for > 60 V DC and ≤ 230 V DC
Unshielded cables for > 25 V AC and ≤ 230 V AC
– Class 3:
Unshielded cables for > 230 V AC/V DC and ≤ 1000 V AC/DC
– Class 4:
Unshielded cables for > 1000 V AC/DC
Shield connection
• Do not use cable shields to conduct current. It is not permissible that the cable shield is used
as neutral or PE conductor.
• Apply the cable shield so that it covers the greatest possible surface area. Use ground clamps,
ground terminals or ground screw connections.
• Avoid extending the cable shield to the grounding point using a wire. This reduces the shield
effectiveness by up to 90%.
• Attach the cable shield to a shield busbar directly after the line inlet into the cabinet. Insulate
the shielded cable without any interruptions. Route the cable shield up to the device
connection.

I/O connection
• Create a low-impedance ground connection for additional cabinets, system components,
and distributed devices with the largest possible cross-section (at least 16 mm²).
• Ground unused lines at one end in the cabinet.
• Choose the greatest possible clearance between the power and signal cables (at least 20 cm).
The greater the distance over which the cables are routed in parallel, the greater the
clearance must be. You must install additional shields if sufficient clearance cannot be
maintained.
• Avoid unnecessarily long cable loops.
• Surge suppressors – e.g. RC elements or varistors – must be connected to the solenoids of
contactors and relays in the device.
• In order to reduce noise/interference entering or exiting via the cable, filter auxiliary voltages
in the control cabinet.

Grease 2G from Elektrolube
NOTICE
Thermal destruction of the power cable
Cables that have not been properly secured at the connection point, represent a high electrical
transition resistance, which can result in thermal destruction.
• Tighten the screws with the specified torques (Page 115).
NOTICE
Damage to the power cable/connecting busbars as a result of high temperatures
In operation, the temperatures of the connecting busbars and power cables increase very
significantly. The connecting busbars to connect the power cables are designed for
temperatures up to 100 °C. If unsuitable power cables are connected, then the power cable and/
or its insulation can be damaged. Cable temperatures exceeding 100 °C can damage the
connecting busbars. This can result in damage in the converter.
• Only use a power cable that has conductor or cable insulation that is rated for > 85 °C.
• To protect the connecting busbars, the temperature of the power cable must not exceed
100 °C.
6.9.2 Procedure
To connect the power cables, proceed as follows:
1. Open the cabinet. If there is a controller rack, swing it out of the way.
2. Remove or slide away the cover plate for the power cable entry.
3. Screw the PE protective conductor with an M12 screw at the locations ④ provided in the
cabinet to the appropriate connection with the ground symbol. Observe the torque of 50 Nm.
On this topic, take note of section "Connecting ground (Page 83)".
4. Screw the individual phases of the power cables ① with the connections in the lower area
of the cabinet. To do this, follow the subsequent steps.
5. Insert the M12 screw into the corresponding terminal bar ②.
6. Attach the cable lug.
7. Attach the nuts and, if necessary, the washers. Tighten the nuts with a torque of 50 Nm.
8. Expose the cable shield. Secure the cable on the cable support bar using cable clips ③.
9. Seal the cable gland (cable entry point).
When carrying out any work, carefully observe the information provided in Chapter "Safety
instructions (Page 15)".
Danger when operating the drive without removing the cause of the fault
Some faults, e.g. overcurrent can be acknowledged without having to remove the fault.
Operating a converter where a fault has been identified can result in death, severe injury and
significant material damage.
• Strictly observe all fault and alarm messages.
• Rectify the fault cause. Only switch on the converter again after the cause of fault has been
fully rectified. You can find further information on alarms and faults in the section "Indicating
and rectifying faults."
• If it is not possible to simply rectify a fault, inform the manufacturer's service personnel
immediately. For additional information, see the "Service & Support" chapter.
8.3 Functions
Note
To complement these operating instructions, the List Manual contains an overview of all
parameters as well as a selection of function diagrams to describe the operating principle.
The drive features hardware and software functions that protect it against faults and damage
caused by impermissible operating statuses or hardware malfunctions. The monitoring
elements provide internal microprocessor-controlled monitoring and remote device monitoring.
The drive is operated in an ungrounded IT supply system. This means that the drive can continue
to operate if just one ground fault occurs.
Note
A second ground fault causes the drive to fail.
For safety reasons, it is necessary to detect such ground faults, in order to eliminate the risk of
electric shock on the drive. This is the reason why the drive is equipped with insulation
monitoring (A-Isometer) that continually monitors the insulation state of the drive including
that of the motor.
Only one A-Isometer can be connected to each live connected IT system. The A-Isometer adjusts
monitoring in line with the line discharge capacitance. The A-Isometer is connected between the
ungrounded line supply and the equipotential bonding conductor (PE).
For the duration of testing, disconnect the instrument cables of the A-Isometer when
performing any insulation or voltage testing on the power system.
Self-test
The A-Isometer performs an automatic self-test under the following conditions:
• When the insulation resistance of the line supply > 20 MΏ
• Every 24 hours when an output relay for the system error message has been preselected.
Terminal monitoring
The connections to mains and ground (PE) are monitored continuously. If the cables are
interrupted or not connected, or if their resistance is high, this is indicated on the LCD. In this
case, please check the terminal conductors immediately, as the insulation resistance is not being
measured properly.
The insulation resistance can be > 20 MΏ in new or small IT systems. To suppress the message,
disable the connection monitoring in Setup2. The A-Isometer monitors the insulation resistance
of the drive.
The following limit values are monitored:
• Limit value 1: Insulation resistance < 500 kΩ = Signal 1 (alarm)
• Limit value 2: Insulation resistance < 100 kΩ = Signal 2 (fault)
The signals are issued to STARTER and output on the operator panel. Further information about
the wiring is contained in the circuit manual.
WARNING
Danger to life as a result of residual voltages at the output terminals
This function cannot ensure that the drive stops immediately, nor can it ensure that residual
voltages do not still exist at the output terminals and within the device itself.
High voltages can cause death or serious injury if the safety rules are not observed or if the
equipment is handled incorrectly.
• Always carefully observe the "five safety rules (Page 15)".
Prerequisites
The following general conditions must be satisfied in order that the drive can be switched on:
• The auxiliary supplies must not fail.
• The power supply for the fans, coolant pumps, and the open-loop/closed-loop controllers
must be maintained.
If the main infeed fails, the pulse block is initiated. The DC link is supported for a short time using
the precharge.
Note
Restricted drive operation when operated via the operator panel in the LOCAL mode
The automatic restart function cannot be used in conjunction with the operator panel in the
LOCAL mode.
When operated in the LOCAL mode, the operator panel withdraws the "ON" command to the
circuit breaker if fault OFF1, OFF2 or OFF3 is active.
The drive provides many protection functions. These protection functions protect the drive
against damage in a fault situation. A distinction is made between the following messages:
• Fault
A fault is a message from the drive indicating a fault or other exceptional (unwanted) state.
The cause can be a fault in the drive itself or also an external fault. This fault, for example,
could have been issued by the winding temperature monitoring of the asynchronous motor.
The faults are displayed and can be reported to a higher-level control system. Once you have
eliminated the cause of the fault, you must acknowledge the fault message.
• Alarm
An alarm is the response to a fault condition identified by the drive, that does not result in the
drive being shutdown. Alarms acknowledge themselves. If the cause is no longer present,
the alarms reset themselves automatically.
The converter indicates a fault by displaying the corresponding fault and/or alarm on the
operator panel.

WARNING
Electric shock even after shutdown
High voltages can still be present even after shutdown. Touching the device can result in death
or serious injury.
• Only work on the power unit if it has been sufficiently grounded. Before touching the device,
carefully ensure that the power unit is in a no-voltage condition:
• Always observe the 5 safety rules (Page 15) when working on the equipment.
1. Secure the terminal of the grounding harness to the lower fixed sphere ②.
2. Secure the terminals of the grounding harness to the upper fixed spheres ①.
The drive is equipped with a door interlocking system. Depending on the design, this is an
electromechanical door interlocking system or optionally a safety locking system.
The doors for the Control Module can be opened for monitoring purposes during operation.
WARNING
Danger to life although the door interlocking has been released
Even when the door interlocking is released, high voltages can still be present at the auxiliary
circuits (fans, anti-condensation heating, closed-loop control, etc.). Touching live components
can result in death or serious injury.
• Ensure that work is only carried out by qualified personnel.
• The five safety rules must be observed.
The doors cannot be opened until the following conditions are fulfilled:
• The converter is ready to switch on, or in the "switching on inhibited" state, no ON command
is active.
• The circuit breaker is open (feedback signal, "circuit-breaker OPEN").
WARNING
Danger to life even after shutdown
After shutdown, high voltages are present at the drive and its components. Furthermore, if the
connection to the machine or the line supply is not disconnected and grounded, these voltages
can persist. Touching live components can result in death or serious injury.
• Never force the doors open during operation or while the DC link capacitors are being
discharged.
• The five safety rules (Page 15) must be observed.
If the auxiliary voltage fails, you can only unlock the doors manually. To unlock the doors,
proceed as described in the chapter titled "Preparation for use".

• Check whether all the cable shields are intact.
• Insulate damaged cable shields.
• Make sure that a short-circuit cannot occur on the power cables due to failure of the
insulation as a result of incorrect cable installation.
NOTICE
Damage if the auxiliary power supply is not available
When the auxiliary power supply is switched off, data about error message statuses can be lost.
Inadequate diagnostic and error rectification measures can result in material damage.
• We recommend using an uninterruptible power supply (UPS). If you are unsure of the
measures necessary after the device fails, or if a fault cannot be rectified, contact the Service
Center.
After performing repairs, refasten all cable ducts whose cover faces downward with a cable tie.
The cable ties must be located at the same positions as in the delivered state. You will find more
information in "Fastening the cable ducts with cable ties (Page 89)".
NOTICE
Damage caused by an incomplete repair
In the case of damage, several components can have a fault condition. Consequential damage
can occur if the device is recommissioned but the repair work carried out was not complete.
• Check whether secondary faults have occurred on components which have failed. Replace
the components involved.
WARNING
