COMPLIANCE
WITH
EC DIRECTIVES
I.
WHAT ARE
EC
DIRECTIVES?
l'he EC Directives were issued
to
standarche the regulations of the EU countries and ensure smooth
iistribution of safety-guaranteed products. In the EU countries, the Machmery Directive (effective in
January,
1995),
EMC Directive (effective in January,
1996)
and
Low
Voltage Directive (effective in
January,
1997)
of the EC Directives require that products
to
be sold should meet their fundamental safety
requirements and
carry
the CE marks (CE markmg). CE marlung applies to machmes and equipment into
which servo amphfiers have been installed.
The servo amphfiers do not function independently but are designed for use with machines and equipment.
I'herefore, the CE markmg does not apply
to
the servo amplifiers but applies
to
the machmes and
3quipment into whch the servo amphfiers are installed.
This
servo amphfier conforms
to
the standards related to the Low Voltage Directive
to
fachtate CE
markmg on machnes and equipment into whch the servo amphfiers
wdl
be installed.
To
ensure ease of
compliance with the EMC Directive, Wtsubish Electric prepared the "EMC INSTALLATION
GUIDELINES"
(IB(NA)67310)
whch provides servo ampMer installation, control box malung and other
procedures. Please contact your sales representative.

oil,
carbon, dust, dwt, etc.
(IP54).
(3)
Power
supply
Use a
24VDC
power supply whch has been insulation-reinforced in I/O.
(4)
Grounding
To
prevent an electric shock, fit the supplied earth terminal
(E)
to the servo ampM1er and always
connect it to the earth
(E)
of the control box.
