General safety in installation, start-up and maintenance
These instructions are for all personnel who do work on the drive.
WARNING!
Obey these instructions. If you ignore them, injury or death, or damage to the
equipment can occur.
• Keep the drive in its package until you install it. After unpacking, protect the drive
from dust, debris and moisture.
• Use the required personal protective equipment: safety shoes with metal toe cap,
safety glasses, protective gloves and long sleeves, etc. Some parts have sharp
edges.
• Lift a heavy drive with a lifting device. Use the designated lifting points. See the
dimension drawings.
• Be careful when handling a tall module. The module overturns easily because it is
heavy and has a high center of gravity. Whenever possible, secure the module with
chains. Do not leave an unsupported module unattended especially on a sloping
floor.
• Beware of hot surfaces. Some parts, such as heatsinks of power semiconductors,
and brake resistors, remain hot for a while after disconnection of the electrical supply.
• Vacuum clean the area around the drive before the start-up to prevent the drive
cooling fan from drawing the dust inside the drive.
• Make sure that debris from drilling, cutting and grinding does not enter the drive
during the installation. Electrically conductive debris inside the drive may cause
damage or malfunction.
• Make sure that there is sufficient cooling. See the technical data.
• Before you connect voltage to the drive, make sure that all covers are in place. Do
not remove the covers when voltage is connected.
