leRoY-someR reserves the right to modify the characteristics of its products at any time in order to incorporate the latest technological
developments. the information contained in this document may therefore be changed without notice.
CAUTION
For the user’s own safety, this XaP1 motor must be connected to an approved earth ( )).
For the user’s own safety, this XaP1 motor must be connected to an approved earth (terminal).
If accidentally starting the installation is likely to cause a risk to personnel or the machines being driven, it is essential to supply the
equipment via a circuit-breaking device (power contactor) which can be controlled via an external safety system (emergency stop,
detection of errors on the installation).
the motor which is the subject of this manual is designed to be integrated in an installation or an electrical machine, and can under
no circumstances be considered to be a safety device. It is therefore the responsibility of the machine manufacturer, the designer of
the installation or the user to take all necessary precautions to ensure that the system complies with current standards, and to provide
any devices required to ensure the safety of equipment and personnel.
LEROY-SOMER declines any responsibility in the event of the above recommendations not being observed.
SAFETY AND OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS FOR LIFT MOTORS
Throughout the manual, this symbol warns of consequences which may arise from inappropriate use of the motor,
since electrical risks may lead to material or physical damage as well as constituting a fire hazard.
1 - GENERAL
Depending on their degree of protection, motors may contain
moving parts, as well as hot surfaces, during operation.
Unjustified removal of protection devices, incorrect use, faulty
installation or inappropriate operation could represent a
serious risk to personnel and equipment.
For further information, consult the manual.
all work relating to transportation, installation, commissioning
and maintenance must be performed by experienced,
qualified personnel (see national specifications for installation
and accident prevention).
In these basic safety instructions, qualified personnel means
persons competent to install, mount, commission and operate
the product and possessing the relevant qualifications.
2 - USE
XaP1 motors are components designed for integration in
installations or electrical machines.
When integrated in a machine, commissioning must not take
place until it has been verified that the machine conforms to the
machinery Directive.
commissioning can take place only if the requirements of the
electromagnetic compatibility Directive are met.
the motors meet the requirements of the low Voltage
Directive.
the technical characteristics and instructions concerning the
connection conditions specified on the nameplate and in the
documentation provided must be observed without fail.
3 - TRANSPORTATION, STORAGE
all instructions concerning transportation, storage and correct
handling must be observed.
The climatic conditions specified in the technical manual must
be observed.
4 - INSTALLATION
the installation and cooling of equipment must comply with the
specifications in the manual supplied with the product.
the motors must be protected against excessive stress. In
particular, there must be no damage to parts and/or modification
of the clearance between components during transportation
and handling.
the motors contain parts which are sensitive to electrostatic
stress and may be easily damaged if handled incorrectly
(encoder).
5 - ELECTRICAL CONNECTION
When work is performed on the motors which are powered up,
the national accident prevention specifications must be
respected.
the electrical installation must comply with the relevant
specifications (for example conductor cross-sections,
protection via fused circuit-breaker, connection of protective
conductor). more detailed information is given in the manual.
Instructions for an installation which meets the requirements
for electromagnetic compatibility, such as screening,
earthing, and correct insertion of cables and conductors, are
given in the documentation supplied with the motor. these
instructions must be followed under all circumstances, even if
the motor carries the ce mark.
adherence to the limits given in the emc legislation is the
responsibility of the manufacturer of the installation or the
machine.
6 - OPERATION
Installations incorporating speed controllers must be fitted with
additional protection and monitoring devices as laid down in
the current relevant safety regulations: law on technical
equipment, accident prevention regulations, etc.
The modification of the speed controller by using the control
software is permitted.
active parts of the device and live power connections must not
be touched immediately after the speed controller is
powered down, as the capacitors may still be charged.
During operation, all protective covers must remain closed.
7 - SERvICING AND MAINTENANCE
Refer to the manufacturer’s documentation.
This manual must be forwarded to the end-user !
