• The safety instructions outlined in this document must always be
complied with. Improper handling of this machinery and non-
compliance with the warnings can cause property damage, injury and
possibly even death. INDRAMAT assumes no responsibility for dete-
rimental conditions ensuing from non-compliance with the warnings.
• There can only be a safe and trouble-free operation of these drives if
they have been correctly transported, stored, mounted and installed as
well as if they are carefully operated and maintained.
• Only duly qualified personnel is permitted to work at, on or near them.
Personnel is defined as qualified if it is familiar with mounting, installa-
tion and operation as well as with all warnings and precuationary mea-
sures as outlined in this document. Personnel is also trained if it has
been instructed or if it may switch electric circuits on and off, ground
and label them. Trained personnel must also have appropriate safety
equipment and be instructed in first aid.
• Use only those replacement parts designated as acceptable.
• Safety guidelines and regulations must be complied with.
• The motors are intended for mounting into machines that will be used
commercially.
• Commissioning is not permitted until it has been determined that the
machine meets the EG directives 89/392/EWG for its application as
per the corresponding machine guidelines.
• It may only be operated if it maintains the nawtional EMC reuirements
for the particular application. The EMC guideline 89/336/EWG applies
within the EU.
If parts carrying in excess of 50 volts are touched, then this could be dan-
gerous for human beings. When operating electrical components, they
unavoidably become live and conduct dangerous voltage levels.
