12 Limitations of Use
This system has been designed to drive a hybrid type stepper motor. Any other use has
not been considered, therefore could damage the drive and could be dangerous for the
users.
Good engineering practices should be employed when using this product.
The operating temperature should be between 0ºC and 30ºC.
Users should take suitable precautions in the application of this product, to ensure that the
overall system complies with EN50081-1 and EN50082-1 (EMC directive).
These products should not be put into service until the machinery in which they are
incorporated has been declared in conformity with the provisions of The Supply of
Machinery (Safety) Regulations 1992 and The Supply of Machinery (Safety) (Amendment)
Regulations 1994 (Machinery Directive).
Motor control systems are inherently hazardous. Even a small motor, if coupled to a
leadscrew, gearbox, or any other form of mechanism that provides a mechanical
advantage, can generate considerable force and could cause serious injury. Incorrect
operation can also lead to damage to the motor or associated machinery.
