LEROY-SOMER reserves the right to modify the characteristics of its products at any
time in order to incorporate the latest technological developments. The information

CAUTION
For the user's own safety, this VARMECA motor must be connected to an approved earth
(
B
terminal).
It is imperative that the equipment is supplied via an isolating device and a circuit-breaking
device (power contactor) which can be controlled by an external safety system (emergency
stop, fault detector).
The VARMECA motor is fitted with safety devices which, in the event of a fault, control
stopping and thus stop the motor. The motor itself can become jammed for mechanical
reasons. Voltage fluctuations, and in particular power cuts, may also cause the motor to
stop.
The removal of the causes of the shutdown can lead to restarting, which may be dangerous
for certain machines or installations. In such cases, it is essential that the user takes
appropriate precautions against the motor restarting after an unscheduled stop.
VARMECA is a component designed to be integrated in an installation or an electrical
machine and can under no circumstances be considered to be a safety device. It is the
responsibility of the manufacturer of the machine, the designer of the installation or the user
to take all necessary precautions to ensure that the system complies with current standards
and to provide devices to ensure the safety of equipment and personnel.
For safety reasons, LEROY-SOMER prohibits the use of VARMECA for lifting applications.
LEROY-SOMER declines all responsibility in the event of the above recommendations
not being observed.
