Regulations concerning the appropriate and safe setup of systems and
installations
Apart from the basic „Regulations for the Setting up of Power Installations" DIN VDE* 0100 and for „The
Rating of Creepage Distances and Clearances" DIN VDE 0110 Part 1 and Part 2 the regulations „The
Equipment of Power Installations with Electrical Components" DIN VDE 0160 in conjunction with DIN
VDE 0660 Part 500 have to be taken into due consideration.
To insure project success and to insure that all systems are properly and safely installed, the customer
must be familiar and proficient with the following standards and must comply with their directives:
•
Working & Process Machinery: DIN VDE 0113 Part 1 & Part 200
•
Close proximity to dangerous voltages: DIN VDE 0106 Part 100
•
Protection against direct contact: DIN VDE 0160, DIN VDE 0110 Part 1
The user has to guarantee that the devices and the components belonging to them are mounted
following these regulations. For operating the machines and installations, other national and international
relevant regulations, concerning prevention of accidents and using technical working means, also have
to be met.
Advant Controller Devices are designed according to: IEC 1131 Part 2 under overvoltage category II per
DIN VDE 0110 Part 2.
For direct connection of AC Category III overvoltages provide protection measures for overvoltage
category II according to IEC-Report 664/1980 and DIN VDE 0110 Part 1.
Equivalent standards:
DIN VDE 0110 Part 1 ↔ IEC 664
DIN VDE 0113 Part 1 ↔ EN 60204 Part 1
DIN VDE 0660 Part 500 ↔ EN 60439-1 ↔ IEC 439-1
All rights reserved to change design, size, weight, etc.
* VDE stands for „Association of German Electrical Engineers".
Safety technical instructions
Please read!
General
Completely safe installation and starting up and problemfree functioning of the devices at their work
location can be ensured by observing the following instructions.
Qualified personnel
Both the control system AC500 and other components in the vicinity are operated with dangerous
contact voltages. Touching parts, which are under such voltages, can cause grave damage to health.
In order to avoid such risks and the occurrence of material damage, everyone involved with the
assembly, starting up and servicing must possess pertinent knowledge of the following:
•
the automation technology sector,
•
dealing with dangerous voltages,
•
using standards and regulations, in particular VDE, accident prevention regulations and regulations
concerning special ambient conditions (e.g. areas potentially endangered by explosive materials,
heavy pollution or corrosive influences).
