• Throughout the manual, this symbol warns of
consequences which may arise from inappropriate
use of the VARMECA 30, 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, VaRmeca 30 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 Iec 364 or cenelec HD 384, or DIn VDe
0100 and 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
VaRmeca 30 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 with
directive 2006/42/ec (machinery Directive).
It is also necessary to comply with standard en 60204, which
stipulates in particular that electrical actuators (which include
VaRmeca 30) cannot be regarded as circuit-breaking devices
and certainly not as isolating switches.
commissioning can take place only if the requirements of the
electromagnetic compatibility Directive (emc 2004/108/ec)
are met.
VaRmeca 30 motors meet the requirements of the low
Voltage Directive 2006/95/ec. the harmonised standard of
the DIn VDe 0160 series in connection with standard VDe 0660,
part 500 and en 60146/VDe 0558 are also applicable.
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.
VaRmeca 30 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. avoid touching the electronic
components and contact parts.
VaRmeca 30 motors contain parts which are sensitive to
electrostatic stress and may be easily damaged if handled
incorrectly. electrical components must not be exposed to
mechanical damage or destruction (risks to health!).
5 - Electrical connection
When work is performed on VaRmeca 30 motors which are
powered up, 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,
presence of filters and correct insertion of cables and
conductors, are given in the documentation supplied with the
VaRmeca 30. these instructions must be followed in all
cases, even if the VaRmeca 30 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 VaRmeca 30 motors 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. modification
of VaRmeca 30 motors using control software is permitted.
active parts of the device and live power connections must not
be touched immediately after the VaRmeca 30 is powered
down, as the capacitors may still be charged. In view of this, the
warnings fixed to VaRmeca 30 motors must be observed.
During operation, all protective covers must remain closed.
7 - Servicing and maintenance
Refer to the manufacturer’s documentation.
