Introduction
This addendum (Installation Manual Addendum For CE-Marked LX
Drives) applies to the LX Positioning Servo Drives conforming to the
requirements of the LVD (Low Voltage - 73/23/EEC) and the CE Marking
Directive 93/68/EEC directives for CE compliance.

This addendum provides the Declaration of Conformity for the LX

Positioning Servo Drives; LX-400CE, LX-700CE, and LX-1100CE.

Much of the information presented in the LX Drives Setup and

Programming Operator's Manual (P/N 400272-00) will apply to these
components. In the event of a conflict between this addendum and the LX
Drives Setup and Programming Operator's Manual, the following will be
the order of precedence:

Important Safety Information

This servo drive product (Drive) is intended for professional incorporation
into a complete system. If installed incorrectly it may present a safety
hazard. The product uses high voltages and currents, carries a high level
of stored electrical energy, and is used to control mechanical equipment
which can cause injury. Close attention is required to the electrical
installation and the system design to avoid hazards either in normal
operation or in the event of equipment malfunction. System design,
installation, commissioning and maintenance must be carried out by
personnel who have the necessary training and experience. They must read
this safety information and the instruction manual carefully.

Enclosure
The Drive is intended to be mounted in an enclosure which prevents access
except by trained and authorized personnel, and which prevents the
ingress of contamination. It is designed for use in an environment classified
as pollution degree 2 in accordance with IEC664-1. This means that only
dry, non-conducting contamination is acceptable.
Installation Manual Addendum For CE-Marked LX Drives

Electrical Installation
General Warning

The voltages used in the unit can cause severe electric shock and/or burns,
and could be lethal. Extreme care is necessary at all times when working
with or adjacent to it.

The installation must comply with all relevant safety legislation in the
country of use.

AC Supply Isolation Device

The AC supply must be removed from the Drive using an approved

isolation device or disconnect before any servicing work is performed, other
than adjustments to the settings or parameters specified in the manual.
The Drive contains capacitors which remain charged to a potentially lethal
voltage after the supply has been removed. Allow at least 10 minutes after
removing the supply before carrying out any work which may involve
contact with electrical connections to the Drive.

Products Connected by Plug and Socket

A special hazard may exist where the Drive is incorporated into a product
which is connected to the supply by a plug and socket. When unplugged,
the pins of the plug may be connected to the Drive input, which is separated
from the charge stored in the capacitor only by semiconductor devices. To
avoid any possibility of electric shock from the pins, if they are accessible,
a means must be provided for automatically isolating the plug from the
Drive, e.g., a latching connector.

STOP Function

The Drive stop function does not remove dangerous voltages from the Drive
or any external option unit, nor does it isolate the motor from dangerous
voltages.

Grounding (Earthing, Equipotential Bonding)

The Drive must be grounded by a conductor sufficient to carry the

prospective fault current in the event of a fault. The ground connections
shown in the manual must be adhered to.

Fuses

Fuses or over-current protection must be provided at the input in

accordance with the instructions in the manual. Failure to observe the
instructions closely may cause a fire hazard.

Over-current Protection

The Drive has facilities for limiting the motor current, and provides the
ability for the user to remove the supply in the event of excessive motor
temperature. These functions must be set and connected correctly to avoid
the risk of the motor over-heating in the event of mechanical overload or
electrical failure.

 Introduction

Isolation of Control Circuits

The control circuits are isolated from the power circuits in the Drive by
basic insulation only. The installer must ensure that the external control
circuits are isolated from human contact by at least one layer of insulation
rated for use at the applied AC supply voltage. If the control circuits are to
be connected to other circuits classified as Safety Extra Low Voltage
(SELV), for example, to a personal computer, an additional isolating
barrier such as optical isolation must be included in order to maintain the
SELV classification.

Braking Resistors

The precautions described in this addendum for braking resistors are

essential to avoid the risk of fire in the event of unexpectedly high braking
energy or loss of control of the braking circuit.

Setting Up, Commissioning and Maintenance

It is essential that changes to the Drive settings are given careful
consideration. Depending on the application, a change could have an
impact on safety. Appropriate precautions must be taken against
inadvertent changes or tampering.

Some specific settings which require particular care are listed below. This
is not an exclusive list; other settings may have an impact on safety in
specific applications.

Automatic start–The Drive may start unexpectedly in this mode.

Restore default parameter set Depending on the application, this may cause
unpredictable or hazardous operation.

Motor parameters–Overheating and possible fire risk could result from

seriously incorrect settings.

Safety of Machinery, and Safety-critical Applications

Within the European Union all machinery in which this product is used
must comply with Directive 89/392/EEC, Safety of Machinery.

The Drive hardware and software are designed and tested to a high
standard, and failures are very unlikely. However the level of integrity
offered by the Drive control functions, for example, stop/start, forward/
reverse and maximum speed is not sufficient for use in safety-critical
applications without additional independent channels of protection. All
applications where malfunction could cause injury or loss of life must be
subject to a risk assessment, and further protection provided where
needed.

Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC)

The product is designed to high standards of EMC, and data is provided in
the EMC data sheet. Under extreme conditions the product might cause or
suffer from disturbance due to electromagnetic interaction with other
equipment. It is the responsibility of the installer to ensure that the
equipment or system into which the product is incorporated complies with
the relevant EMC legislation in the country of use.

Installation Manual Addendum For CE-Marked LX Drives

Within the European Union, equipment into which this product is

incorporated must comply with 89/336/EEC, Electromagnetic
Compatibility.
