Safety and operating instructions

3.1

General

Warning:

During assembly and operation, the STEVAL-IHM021V1

demonstration board poses several inherent hazards,

including bare wires, moving or rotating parts and hot

surfaces. Serious personal injury and damage to the property

may occur if the kit or its components are used or installed

incorrectly.

All operations involving transportation, installation and use, as well as maintenance, should

be performed by skilled technical personnel (national accident prevention rules must be

observed). Skilled technical personnel refers to suitably-qualified people who are familiar

with the installation, use and maintenance of electronic power systems.

3.2

Intended use of the demonstration board

The STEVAL-IHM021V1 demonstration board is a component designed for demonstration

purposes only, and must not be used for electrical installations or machinery. Technical data

and information concerning the power supply conditions are detailed in the documentation

and should be strictly observed.

3.3

Installing the demonstration board

The installation and cooling of the demonstration kit boards must be in accordance with the

specifications and targeted application.

●

The motor drive converters must be protected against excessive strain. In particular,

components should not be bent or isolating distances altered during transportation or

handling

●

No contact must be made with other electronic components and contacts

●

The boards contain electrostatically-sensitive components that are prone to damage if

used incorrectly. Do not mechanically damage or destroy the electrical components

(potential health risks).

3.4

Electronic connections

Applicable national accident prevention rules must be followed when working on the main

power supply with a motor drive. The electrical installation must be completed in accordance

with the appropriate requirements (for example, cross-sectional areas of conductors, fusing,

PE connections,…).
