2.1 Safety Instructions
During operation there are deadly hazards, with the possibility of death, severe
injury or material damage. Do not open or touch the equipment during operation.
Keep all covers and cabinet doors closed during operation. Touching the
equipment is allowed during installation and commissioning for properly qualified
persons only.
— During operation, servo amplifiers may have uncovered live components,
depending on their level of enclosure protection.
— Control and power connections may be live, even though the motor is not
rotating.
— Servo amplifiers may have hot surfaces during operation.
Surface can reach temperatures above 80°C.
There is a danger of electrical arcing with damage to contacts and personal injury.
Never undo any electrical connections to the servo amplifier while it is live.
Wait at least five minutes after disconnecting the servo amplifier from the main
supply power before touching potentially live sections of the equipment (e.g.
contacts) or undoing any connections.
Capacitors can still have dangerous voltages present up to five minutes after
switching off the supply power. To be sure, measure the voltage in the DC Bus link
and wait until it has fallen below 40V.
Incorrect handling of the servo amplifier can lead to personal injury or material
damage. Read this documentation before carrying out the installation and
commissioning. It is vital that you keep to the technical data and information on
connection requirements (nameplate and documentation).
Only properly qualified personnel are permitted to carry out activities such as
transport, installation, commissioning and maintenance. Properly qualified persons
are those who are familiar with the transport, assembly, installation,
commissioning and operation of the product, and who have the appropriate
qualifications for their job. The qualified personnel must know and observe the
following standards:
— IEC 60364 and IEC 60664
— national accident prevention regulations
The manufacturer of the machine must produce a hazard analysis for the machine
and take appropriate measures to ensure that unforeseen movements do not result
in personal injury or material damage.
Check the Hardware Revision Number of the product (see product label). This
revision number must match the Hardware Revision Number on the cover page of
the manual.
The servo amplifiers contain electrostatically sensitive components which may be
damaged by incorrect handling. Discharge your body before touching the servo
amplifier. Avoid contact with highly insulating materials (artificial fabrics, plastic
film etc.). Place the servo amplifier on a conductive surface.
