Environment
Open controls or controls in ventilated enclosures may emit flame during
failure. Bodine’s totally enclosed products are not explosion-proof, and Bodine
does not offer an explosion-proof motor, gearmotor, or control for hazardous
locations (e.g., in an environment of flammable or explosive gas, vapor, or
dust). Bodine recommends use of only approved explosion-proof products
in hazardous locations. The National Electric Code (NEC) allows exceptions,
but NEC and NEMA safety standards should be studied thoroughly before
exercising this option.
Moisture increases the electrical shock hazard of electrical insulation.
Therefore, open-type or unsealed controls not specifically designed for such
use, should be protected from contact with liquids or moisture.
Ventilated Products
Open, ventilated products are suitable for clean, dry locations where cooling air is
not restricted. Do not insert anything into a product’s ventilation openings.
Servicing
Emergency field repairs must be made only by authorized Bodine service
representatives. Repairs made by persons not authorized by the Bodine
Electric Company will void the warranty. Field repairs must be limited to
replacing an entire printed circuit board assembly. Because of the danger
of introducing safety hazards, do not install substitute parts or perform any
unauthorized modifications to electronic PC boards, components or motors.
To ensure continued compliance with the design specifications and safety
standards, the electronic control or motor should be returned to Bodine
Electric Company or an Authorized Service Center for servicing.
This manual does not purport to cover all details or variations in equipment,
nor to provide for every possible contingency to be met in connection with
installation, operation, or maintenance — no warranty of fitness for purpose
is expressed or implied. Should further information be desired or should
particular problems arise which are not covered sufficiently for the user’s
purpose, the matter should be referred to the Bodine Electric Company.
The issuance of this manual does not confer to the recipient any license to
manufacture under any patents owned or controlled by the Bodine Electric
Company.
WARNING
To avoid injury because of unsuspected mechanical motion, always
disconnect the 115 VAC power to the control before performing any
service procedures on the motor, control, or driven equipment.
