General information
WARNING
During operation, the motors or gearmotors can have live, bare (in the event of open
connectors/terminal boxes) and movable or rotating parts as well as hot surfaces,
depending on their degree of protection.
Severe or fatal injuries.
•
All work related to transportation, storage, installation, assembly, connection,
startup, maintenance and repair may only be carried out by qualified personnel,
in strict observance of the following points:
– The applicable detailed documentation(s)
– Warning and safety signs on the motor/gearmotor
– All the project planning documents, startup instructions and wiring diagrams
related to the drive
– System-specific regulations and requirements
– National/regional regulations governing safety and the prevention of acci-
dents.
•
Never install damaged drives.
•
Report any damage to the shipping company immediately.
Removing required covers without authorization, improper use or incorrect installation
and operation may result in severe injury to persons, or damage to machinery.
The magnetic forces are always present regardless of the operating status of the sys-
tem.
Keep watches and magnetizable data carriers (such as credit cards, disks, etc.) away
from close proximity (<100 mm) of the SLC synchronous linear motors.
Do not lead any metallic objects that are heavy (> 1 kg) or have a wide surface (> 1
dm²) to the secondary with unprotected hands to the secondary.
The surfaces are hot during operation and during the cool down phase after switch-off.
Do not touch the linear motor during this time.
