system and the installation for possible malfunctions in all possible positions of normal
use before initial startup. If necessary, perform a special electromagnetic compatibility
(EMC) test on the installation.
Protection Against Magnetic and Electromagnetic Fields During Operation and Mounting
Magnetic and electromagnetic fields generated by current-carrying conductors and perma-
nent magnets in motors represent a serious personal danger to those with heart pacemakers,
metal implants and hearing aids.
Health hazard for persons with heart pacemakers, metal implants and hearing aids in prox-
imity to electrical equipment!
» Persons with heart pacemakers and metal implants are not permitted to enter following
areas:
Areas in which electrical equipment and parts are mounted, being operated or com-
missioned.
Areas in which parts of motors with permanent magnets are being stored, repaired or
mounted.
»
If it is necessary for somebody with a pacemaker to enter such an area, a doctor must
be consulted prior to doing so. The interference immunity of present or future implanted
heart pacemakers differs greatly, so that no general rules can be given.
»
Those with metal implants or metal pieces, as well as with hearing aids must consult a
doctor before they enter the areas described above. Otherwise health hazards may occur.
Protection Against Contact with Hot Parts
Hot surfaces at motor housings, on drive controllers or chokes! Danger of injury! Danger of
burns!
»
Do not touch surfaces of device housings and chokes in the proximity of heat sources!
Danger of burns!
»
Do not touch housing surfaces of motors! Danger of burns!
»
According to operating conditions, temperatures can be higher than 60 °C, 140 °F during
or after operation.
»
Before accessing motors after having switched them off, let them cool down for a suf-
ficiently long time. Cooling down can require up to 140 minutes! Roughly estimated, the
time required for cooling down is five times the thermal time constant specified in the
Technical Data.
»
After switching drive controllers or chokes off, wait 15 minutes to allow them to cool
down before touching them.
»
Wear safety gloves or do not work at hot surfaces.
»
For certain applications, the manufacturer of the end product, machine or installation,
according to the respective safety regulations, has to take measures to avoid injuries
caused by burns in the end application. These measures can be, for example: warnings,
guards (shielding or barrier), technical documentation.
Protection During Handling and Mounting
In unfavorable conditions, handling and assembling certain parts and components in an
improper way can cause injuries.
