1.4 Geared motor with encoder for safety-relevant applications
For a SIMOGEAR geared motor with encoder for safety-relevant applications, it is crucial
that you observe the operating instructions BA 2730. These operating instructions are valid
for the functionally safe encoders that are mounted onto SIMOGEAR geared motors. The
functionally safe encoders are in compliance with the relevant standards for safety-relevant
applications listed in the declaration of conformity of BA 2730.
The SIMOGEAR geared motor with functionally safe encoder has a signal yellow marking on
the fan cover. Marking SI04 for the functionally safe encoder is stamped on the rating plate.
The safety level is marked on the functionally safe encoder.

1.5 Obligations of the user
The operator must ensure that all persons assigned to work on the geared motor have read
and understood these operating instructions and that they follow them in all points in order
to:
● Eliminate the risk to life and limb of users and other persons.
● Ensure the operational safety of the geared motor.
● Avoid disruptions and environmental damage through incorrect use.
Note the following safety information:
Shut down the geared motors and disconnect the power before you carry out any work on
them.
Make sure that the drive unit cannot be turned on accidentally, e.g. lock the key-operated
switch. Place a warning notice at the drive connection point which clearly indicates that work
is in progress on the geared motor.
Carry out all work with great care and with due regard to "safety".
For all work, observe the relevant regulations for work safety and environment protection.
