property rights of a third-party.
Inspection of our units in view of their suitability for the intended use must be done generally by the user.
Inspections are particulary necessary, if changes are executed, which serve for the further development or
adaption of our products to the applications (hardware, software or download lists). Inspections must be re-

Controlling by
the user
Application and use of our units in the target products is outside of our control and
therefore lies exclusively in the area of responsibility of the user.
Use under spe-
cial conditions
The used semiconductors and components of KEB are developed and dimensi-
oned for the use in industrial products. If the KEB COMBIVERT is used in ma-
chines, which work under exceptional conditions or if essential functions, life-sup-

reliability and security must be ensured by the machine builder.
1.2 Qualication
All operations serving transport, installation and commissioning as well as maintenance are to be carried
out by skilled technical personnel (observe IEC 364 or CENELEC HD 384 or DIN VDE 0100 and national
accidentpreventionrules!).Accordingtothismanualqualiedstaffmeansthosewhoareabletorecognise
and judge the possible dangers based on their technical training and experience and those with knowledge of

50178), VDE 0113 (EN 60204) as well as the approporiate regulations for your area.
Danger by high
voltage
KEB electronics components contain dangerous voltages which can cause
death or serious injury. In operation, drive converters, depending on their degree
of protection, may have live, uninsulated, and possibly also moving and hot
surfaces.
In case of inadmissible removal of the required covers, of improper use, wrong
installation or maloperation, there is the danger of serious personal injury and
damage to property.
