GENERAL SAFETY INFORMATION
The electric motors described in the following instructions are designed to be used in industrial instal-
lations and must be operated by qualified personnel only.
During operation, motors have live or moving parts. Therefore, removal of electrical or me-
chanical guards, improper use, or inadequate maintenance may cause serious damage to per-
sons or property.
Installation and maintenance on motors must be performed only by qualified personnel who
have thorough knowledge of the instructions and technical data for the product and who have
been authorised to perform such operations by the safety supervisor.
Since the electric motor does not have a defined function for the final user and is going to be
physically coupled to another machine, it is the responsibility of the installer to guarantee that
all provisions for its safe operation have been taken.

INSTALLATION
3.1
Identification
Gearmotors and motors have a nameplate carrying their identification data.
Table shows the plate used for all motor configurations.
On standard voltage electric motors with an FD brake, the nameplate only gives electrical data
for the frequency identified by the motor designation.
On standard voltage electric motors with an FA brake, the nameplate gives electrical data for
50 Hz and 60 Hz.
On non-standard voltage electric motors with a brake, the nameplate only gives electrical data
for the frequency identified by the motor designation.
On motors with the CUS option, the nameplate only gives electrical data for the frequency
identified by the motor designation.
