WARNING

Improper use of these devices, failure to follow the safety instructions in this

document or tampering with the product, including disabling of safety devices, may

result in material damage, bodily harm, electric shock or even death!

⇒ Observe the following safety instructions!

Contact with Electrical Parts

DANGER

High electrical voltage! Danger to life, electric shock and severe bodily injury!

• Follow general construction and safety regulations when working on power installations.

• Before switching on the device, the equipment grounding conductor must have been

non-detachably connected to all electrical equipment and motors in accordance with the

connection diagram.

The equipment grounding conductor of the electrical equipment and the units must be

non-detachably and permanently connected to the power supply unit at all times. The

leakage current is greater than 3.5 mA.

Over the total length, use copper wire of a cross section of a minimum of 10 mm2

 for

this equipment grounding connection!

• Before working with electrical parts with voltage potentials higher than 50 V, the device

must be disconnected from the mains voltage or power supply unit. Provide a safeguard

to prevent reconnection.

• Wait 30 minutes after switching off power to allow capacitors to discharge before

beginning to work. Measure the electric voltage on the capacitors before beginning to

work to make sure that the equipment is safe to touch.

• Never touch the electrical connection points of a component while power is turned on.

• Install the covers and guards provided with the equipment properly before switching the

device on. Before switching the equipment on, cover and safeguard live parts safely to

prevent contact with those parts.

• A residual-current-operated circuit-breaker or r.c.d. cannot be used for electric drives!

Indirect contact must be prevented by other means, for example, by an overcurrent

protective device according to the relevant standards.

Handling and Assembly

CAUTION

Risk of injury by improper handling! Bodily injury by bruising, shearing, cutting, hitting!

• Observe the general construction and safety regulations on handling and assembly.

• Use suitable devices for assembly and transport.

• Avoid jamming and bruising by appropriate measures.

• Always use suitable tools. Use special tools if specified.

• Use lifting equipment and tools in the correct manner.

• If necessary, use suitable protective equipment (for example safety goggles, safety shoes,

safety gloves).

• Do not stand under hanging loads.

• Immediately clean up any spilled liquids because of the danger of skidding.

Dangerous Movements

Dangerous movements can be caused by faulty control of connected

motors. Some common examples are:
