Product Safety Precautions
READ THIS ENTIRE SECTION BEFORE ATTEMPTING TO USE THE CPP-A24V80A-SA-CAN DRIVE!
GIVE SPECIAL ATTENTION TO ALL BOLD PRINT ITEMS.
WARNING!
ElectroCraft products are not authorized for use in safety critical applications. To operate the drive safely,
these minimum precautions MUST be followed to insure proper performance without injury to the operator
and damage to motor or drive.
FAILURE TO OBSERVE THESE SAFETY PRECAUTIONS COULD
RESULT IN SERIOUS BODILY INJURY, INCLUDING DEATH IN EXTREME CASES.
1.1
Operation
1. Do not touch any of the connector pins on connectors J1 (Supply Input) or J2 (Motor Output)
when power has been applied. Bare wires from adjacent connector pins must never be allowed to
touch one another.
2. J1 pin 5 must be connected to an external earth ground. Follow wiring procedures carefully.
3. Read ElectroCraft Life Support Policy in section 1.6 for application limitations.
4. Follow precautionary guidelines as referenced in section 13 of this manual with regard to proper
installation of an optional external brake resistor.
5. Do not operate the drive in an explosive area or near explosive or flammable materials.
6. Do not use the drive in environments where it is likely to be exposed to strong and/or frequent
static discharge.
7. Conduct trial operations on the servo drive alone with the motor shaft disconnected from the load
to avoid any unexpected motion. Motor shaft should be uncoupled and free to rotate without
coming in contact with user or any stationary object during set up and preliminary operation.
8. Under no circumstances should a phase output from the control be connected to anything other
than a passive inductive/resistive motor load. Short circuit protection for the drive is limited to
momentary conditions only! Repetitive short circuits on any of the output pins of J2 may cause
permanent damage to the drive.
9. Never touch any moving parts while the motor is running. Failure to observe this warning may
result in injury.
10. Excessive speed and current can destroy some motors and possibly injure the user. Check the
motor manufacturer's specifications to ensure that the maximum current and voltage for your
drive model, does not exceed motor limitations.
11. Whenever the drive is disabled for any reason or unpowered, the motor will be in free
spinning/coast mode. The user is responsible to analyze the application (especially in case of
servomotor for a vertical axis) and take precautionary safety measures.
12. Provide an appropriate stopping device on the machine side to ensure safety. Failure to observe
this warning may result in injury.
13. Do not parallel multiple motors off the same drive.
