General Information
The manufacturer accepts no liability for any consequences resulting from inappropriate, negligent or
incorrect installation or adjustment of the optional parameters of the equipment or from mismatching the
variable speed drive with the motor.
The contents of this guide are believed to be correct at the time of printing. In the interests of commitment
to a policy of continuous development and improvement, the manufacturer reserves the right to change the
specification of the product or its performance, or the content of the guide without notice.
All rights reserved. No parts of this guide may be reproduced or transmitted in any form or by any means,
electrical or mechanical including, photocopying, recording or by an information storage or retrieval system,
without permission in writing from the publisher.
Environmental Statement
Control Techniques is committed to minimising the environmental impacts of its manufacturing operations
and of its products throughout their life cycle. To this end, we operate an Environmental Management
System (EMS) which is certified to the International Standard ISO 14001. Further information on the EMS,
our Environment Policy and other relevant information is available on request, or can be found at
www.greendrives.com.
The electronic variable speed drives manufactured by Control Techniques have the potential to save
energy and (through increased machine/process efficiency) reduce raw material consumption and scrap
throughout their long working lifetime. In typical applications, these positive environmental effects far
outweigh the negative impacts of product manufacture and end-of-life disposal.
Nevertheless, when the products eventually reach the end of their useful life, they must not be discarded
but should instead be recycled by a specialist recycler of electronic equipment. Recyclers will find the
products easy to dismantle into their major component parts for efficient recycling. Many parts snap
together and can be separated without the use of tools, whilst other parts are secured with conventional
fasteners. Virtually all parts of the product are suitable for recycling.
Product packaging is of good quality and can be re-used. Large products are packed in wooden crates,
while smaller products come in strong cardboard cartons which themselves have a high-recycled fibre
content. If not re-used, these containers can be recycled. Polythene, used on the protective film and bags
from wrapping product, can be recycled in the same way. Control Techniques' packaging strategy favours
easily recyclable materials of low environmental impact, and regular reviews identify opportunities for
improvement.
When preparing to recycle or dispose of any product or packaging, please observe local legislation and
best practice.
Software Statement
This Solutions Module (SM) is supplied with the latest software version. When retro-fitting to an existing
system, all software versions should be verified to confirm the same functionality as Solutions Modules of
the same type already present. This also applies to products returned from a Control Techniques Service
Centre or Repair Centre. If there is any doubt please contact the supplier of product.
The software version of the Solutions Module can be identified by looking at Pr MM.02 and Pr MM.51,
where MM is the relevant menu number for the Solutions Module slot being used.
See Pr MM.02 and Pr MM.51 description later in this manual for more information.
The software version takes the form of xx.yy.zz, where Pr MM.02 displays xx.yy and Pr MM.51 displays zz
(e.g. for software version 01.01.00 Pr 15.02 will display 1.01 and Pr 15.51 will display 0).
REACH legislation
EC Regulation 1907/2006 on the Registration, Evaluation, Authorisation and restriction of Chemicals
(REACH) requires the supplier of an article to inform the recipient if it contains more than a specified
proportion of any substance which is considered by the European Chemicals Agency (ECHA) to be a
Substance of Very High Concern (SVHC) and is therefore listed by them as a candidate for compulsory
authorisation.
For current information on how this requirement applies in relation to specific Control Techniques products,
please approach your usual contact in the first instance. Control Techniques position statement can be
