General safety in installation, start-up and maintenance
These instructions are for all personnel that install the drive module and do
maintenance work on it.
WARNING! Obey these instructions. If you ignore them, injury or death, or
damage to the equipment can occur.
• Use safety shoes with a metal toe cap to avoid foot injury. Wear protective gloves
and long sleeves. Some parts have sharp edges.
• Handle the drive module carefully.
• Heavy drive modules with high center of gravity (frames R6…R9)
:
• Lift the drive with a lifting device. Use the lifting eyes of the drive.
• Do not tilt the drive.
• Beware of hot surfaces. Some parts, such as heatsinks of power semiconductors,
remain hot for a while after disconnection of the electrical supply.
• Keep the drive module in its package or protect it otherwise from dust and burr
from drilling and grinding until you install it. Protect also the installed drive against
dust and burr. Electrically conductive debris inside the drive can cause damage or
malfunction.
• Vacuum clean the area below the drive before the start-up to prevent the drive
cooling fan from drawing the dust inside the drive.
• Do not cover the air inlet and outlet of the drive when it runs.
• Vacuum clean the area below the drive before the start-up to prevent the drive
cooling fan from drawing the dust inside the drive.
• Make sure that there is sufficient cooling. See section Losses, cooling data and
noise in the hardware manual.
• Before you connect voltage to the drive, make sure that the cabinet doors are
closed. Keep the doors closed during the operation. Obey the panel builder’s
instructions.
