For your safety
Version: 4.3 ─── 13 AM8000 and AM8500
Read this chapter containing general safety information. The chap-
ters in these operating instructions also contain warning notices. Al-
ways observe the safety instructions for your own safety, the safety
of other persons and the safety of the product.
When working with control and automation products, many dangers
can result from careless or incorrect use. Work particularly thor-
oughly, not under time pressure and responsibly towards other peo-
ple.
2.1
Safety pictograms
On Beckhoff products you will find attached or lasered safety pic-
tograms, which vary depending on the product. They serve to pro-
tect people and to prevent damage to the products. Safety pic-
tograms must not be removed and must be legible for the user.
Warning of hot surface
During and after operation there is a risk of burns at the motor hous-
ing from hot surfaces above 60 °C. Allow the motor housing to cool
down for the specified time, at least 15 minutes.
Avoid shocks to the shaft
Impacts on the shaft may cause the maximum permissible axial and
radial values to be exceeded. Optical encoder systems can thus be
destroyed.
