Introduction

assembly, commissioning and operation of motors and who bring their relevant minimum qualifications
to bear on their duties:
•
Transport: only by personnel with knowledge of handling electrostatically sensitive
components
•
Mechanical Installation: only by mechanically qualified personnel.
•
Electrical Installation: only by electrically qualified personnel.
•
Setup: only by qualified personnel with extensive knowledge of electrical engineering and drive
technology
•
The qualified personnel must know and observe IEC 60364 / IEC 60664 and national accident
prevention regulations.
Read the documentation!
Read the available documentation before installation and commissioning. Improper handling of the
motor can cause harm to people or damage to property. The operator must therefore ensure that all
persons entrusted to work on the motor have read and understood the manual and that the safety
notices in this manual are observed.
Pay attention to the technical data!
Adhere to the technical data and the specifications on connection conditions (rating plate and
documentation). If permissible voltage values or current values are exceeded, the motors can be
damaged, for example by overheating.
Perform a risk assessment!
The manufacturer of the machine must generate a risk assessment for the machine, and take appropriate
measures to ensure that unforeseen movements cannot cause injury or damage to any person or
property. Additional requirements on specialist staff may also result from the risk assessment.
Secure the key!
Remove any fitted key (if present) from the shaft before letting the motor run without coupled load, to
avoid the dangerous results of the key being thrown out by centrifugal forces. When delivered, the key is
protected with a plastic cap.
Hot surface!
The surfaces of the motors can be very hot in operation, according to their protection category. Risk of
minor burns! The surface temperature can exceed 100°C.
Measure the temperature, and wait until the motor has cooled down below 40°C before touching it.
Earthing! High voltages!
It is vital that you ensure that the motor housing is safely earthed to the PE (protective earth) busbar in
the switch cabinet. Risk of electric shock. Without low-resistance earthing no personal protection can be
guaranteed and there is a risk of death from electric shock.
Not having optical displays does not guarantee an absence of voltage. Power connections may carry
voltage even if the motor shaft is not rotating.
•
Do not unplug any connectors during operation. There is a risk of death or severe injury from
touching exposed contacts. Power connections may be live even when the motor shaft is not
rotating. This can cause flashovers with resulting injuries to persons and damage to the
contacts.
•
After disconnecting the servo amplifier from the supply voltage, wait several minutes before
touching any components which are normally live (e.g. contacts, screw connections) or
opening any connections.
