General
To prevent damage to motors and the driven equipment the procedures laid down in the Operating and Mainte-
nance Instructions must be followed. Especially to avoid risk of injury, the separately enclosed Safety Regulations
must be adhered to strictly.
Since for reasons of clarity the Operating and Maintenance Instructions cannot contain specific information with
regard to all conceivable special applications and areas with special requirements, the user himself has to make
appropriate protection arrangements during the installation process.
1.1 Qualified personnel
Electric motors have dangerous life parts and rotating parts and can also be hot on the surface. It is not
permitted to stand on the motor. All work in connection with transport, storage, installation, connection,
commissioning and maintenance must be done by responsible qualified staff (in accordance with EN
50110-1 / DIN VDE 0105 / IEC 60364). Improper use can result in severe injuries and material damage.
1.2 Intended use
The motors are only approved for the intended use given by the manufacturer in his catalogue and the correspond-
ing technical documentation. This includes consideration of all corresponding product documents. Changes or re-
construction of the motor are not allowed. Other or additional use is not intended. Changes or modifications of the
motor are not permitted. External products and components that shall be used together with the motor must be
approved or recommended by the manufacturer.
The motors comply with the harmonized standard series IEC/EN 60034 / DIN VDE 0530. The use in explosive at-
mosphere is prohibited, if they are not expressly designed for this application.
Delivery of motors complying with special regulations (i.e. classification societies, regulations for explosion protec-
tion) is possible. For these applications special additional manuals are available like for example for roller table
motors and motors in explosion protected design. As scope of delivery the details on the corresponding order con-
firmation are binding.
High-voltage motors are designed for use in industrial plants according to the directive for machine safety
2006/42/EC. The commissioning is prohibited until the final product complies with the directive (please ob-
serve especially the local security and installation regulations i.e. EN 60204).
1.3 Check after delivery
Please check if there was any damage on the motor during transport. Transport damages must be reported imme-
diately to the forwarding agent and the manufacturer.
1.4 Disclaimer
Observance of this manual and the conditions and methods used for installation, operation, use and maintenance
of the electric motor cannot be monitored by the manufacturer. An improper installation can result in property dam-
age and thus result in personal injuries. We therefore do not accept responsibility and liability for losses, damages
or costs resulting from improper installation, improper or wrong use and maintenance or connected with this in any
kind.
We strive to improve our products continuously. Consequently technical data and illustrations remain subject to
change without prior notice. Specifications may only be considered binding after written confirmation by the suppli-
er.
A claim of warranty is excluded in case the operation conditions of the motor were changed, the design of the mo-
tor was modified or repair work was done without prior written agreement from the production site of VEM that has
manufactured the motor.
1.5 Used units
The units used in the manual are based on the SI system (metric system).
