Safety Instructions
Skilled Personnel
Installation and starting of the equipment shall only be performed by experienced,
skilled personnel.
Statutory Regulations
The user must ensure that the positioning controller and the components belonging
to it are assembled and connected according to local statutory regulations.
Load Disconnected
For primary operation the motor should be free running, i.e. with the load
disconnected.
Additional Safety Equipment
An electronic apparatus is not fail-safe in principle. Machines and apparatus must
therefore be fitted with independent monitoring and safety equipment. If the
equipment breaks down, if it is operated incorrectly, if the control unit breaks down
or if the cables break, etc., it must be ensured that the drive or the complete
apparatus is kept in a safe operating mode.
Repairs
Repairs may be made by authorized personnel only or by the manufacturer. It is
dangerous for the user to open the unit or make repairs to it.
Danger
Do ensure that during the installation of the EPOS 70/10 no apparatus is
connected to the electrical supply. After switching on, do not touch any live parts!
Max. Supply Voltage
Make sure that the supply voltage is between 11 and 70 VDC. Voltages higher than
77 VDC or of wrong polarity will destroy the unit.
