1. SAFETY NOTES
The safety notes and the operating instructions are to be read carefully before installing and
commissioning.
1.1 OBLIGATORY INSTRUCTION
These safety notes and operating instructions shall carefully be read by
all persons deployed for work using and employing the Thyro-AX prior
to assembly, installation and the initial start-up of the Thyro-AX. These
operating instructions are part of the Thyro-AX.
The operator of the device is committed to provide these operating in-
structions without limitation to all persons, who transport the Thyro-AX,
start it up, maintain it, or perform other work tasks to it.
In accordance with the Product Liability Act the manufacturer of this
product is obligated to inform about and warn against
• other than the intended use of a product
• the residual hazards of a product as well as
• incorrect usages and their consequences
The following information is intended for this purpose. This information
should warn the product user and protect him and his appliances.
1.2 APPROPRIATE USAGE
The Thyro-AX is a power controller which is capable of communication. It
can be used anywhere where alternating voltages, alternating currents
or power need to be regulated in thermic process engineering. The
Thyro-AX has several different operation and control modes, good
connection to process and automatization technology, high regulation
accuracy and simple handling.
• The Thyro-AX is a component which may only be used to control
and regulate electric energies in industrial alternating or three-phase
networks.
• The Thyro-AX may at most be operated with the maximum permissible
connection values in accordance with the details on the type plate.
• The Thyro-AX may only be operated in connection with an appropria-
te upstream mains disconnecting device (e.g. switch, take note of DIN
EN 50110-1)
• The Thyro-AX is not functional on its own and must be project
planned for its appropriate usage in order to minimize the residual
hazards of the product.
• The Thyro-AX may only be used for the purpose for which it was
intended, as persons may otherwise be exposed to dangers (e.g.
electric shock, burns) and systems also (e. g. overload).
• It is not permitted to make any unauthorized modifications to the
device or to use any spare parts or replacement parts not approved
by Advanced Energy, or to use the device for any other purpose.
• The warranty obligations of the manufacturer are only applicable if
these operating instructions are observed and complied with.
• It must be ensured that in the case of an error no uncontrolled large
currents, voltages of power can occur in the circuit.
• In the case of an error even with appropriate usage it is possible
that the currents, voltages or power in the load circuit are no longer
affected by the device (example: in the case of the destruction of of
the power components (fully alloyed or high resistance) the following
reactions may result: current interruption, half wave operation,
continual flow of energy).
1.3 RESIDUAL HAZARDS OF THE PRODUCT
Even with intended use it is possible, in the case of an error, that the
currents, voltages or power in the load circuit are no longer affected by
the Thyro-AX.
If the power components are destroyed, for example, the following
cases are possible: current interruption, continual flow of energy.
If such a case occurs, then the occurring load voltages and currents re-
sult from the physical sizes of the overall circuit. Throughout the project
planning of the system it must be ensured, that no uncontrolled large
currents, voltages or power can occur.
1.4 INCORRECT OPERATION AND THEIR
CONSEQUENCES
In the case of incorrect operations, higher power, voltages or currents
than intended can reach the thyristor power controller or the load. This
can cause damage to the thyristor power controller or the load.
In particular, factory-set parameters may not be altered in such a way
that the Thyro-AX is overloaded.
