NSTALLATION
The ESCON 70/10
is considered as partly completed machinery according to EU Directive 2006/42/EC,
Article 2, Clause (g) and
is intended to be incorporated into or assembled with other machinery or
other partly completed machinery or equipment
.
3.1
Generally applicable Rules
Maximal permitted Supply Voltage
• Make sure that supply power is between 10…70 VDC.
• Supply voltages above 76 VDC, or wrong polarity will destroy the unit.
• Note that the necessary output current is depending on the load torque. Yet, the output current limits
of the ESCON 70/10 are as follows; continuous max. 10 A / short-time (acceleration) max. 30 A.
Built-in Motor Chokes
In a setup with low-inductive motor winding combined with high continuous current and high supply volt-
age, an additional external 3-phase motor choke will probably be necessary (for details
External Motor Chokes” on page 3-28).
WARNING
Risk of Injury
Operating the device without the full compliance of the surrounding system with EU Directive
2006/42/EC may cause serious injuries!
• Do not operate the device, unless you have made completely sure that the other machinery fully
complies with the EU directive’s requirements!
• Do not operate the device, unless the other machinery fulfills all relevant health and safety
aspects!
• Do not operate the device, unless all respective interfaces have been established and fulfill the
requirements stated in this document!
