1.2 Safety
This section helps you to recognize and avoid dangers to people and objects.
1.2.1 You should pay attention to this
Specialist staff required!
Only properly qualified personnel are permitted to perform such tasks as transport,
assembly, setup and maintenance. Qualified specialist staff are persons who are familiar
with the transport, installation, 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 com-
l
ponents.
Mechanical Installation: only by mechanically qualified personnel.
l
Electrical Installation: only by electrically qualified personnel.
l
Setup: only by qualified personnel with extensive knowledge of electrical engineering and
l
drive technology
The qualified personnel must know and observe IEC 60364 / IEC 60664 and national acci-
dent 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.
Transport safely!
Lift and move motors with more than 20 kg weight (AKM7 and AKM8) only with lifting tools.
Lifting unassisted could result in back injury. Always observe the hints on (➜ # 8)
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 cat-
egory. Risk of minor burns! The surface temperature can exceed 100°C. Measure the tem-
perature, and wait until the motor has cooled down below 40°C before touching it.
