3.4 OPERATING LIMITS AND CONDITIONS
The applications permitted by the Manufacturer are the industrial applications for which the gearbox
has been designed.
Changes to the gearbox version or mounting position are only permitted if previously authorised by the
manufacturer’s technical assistance service.
Failure to obtain this authorisation invalidates the ATEX certication.
Refer to chapter “ALLOWED TEMPERATURE LIMITS” for the optimum ambient conditions.
The gearbox may not be used in areas and environments:
●
with highly corrosive/abrasive vapours, smoke or dust
●
In direct contact with loose food products.
Do not use the gearbox/gearmotor, if not explicitly intended for the purpose, in a potentially
explosive atmosphere or where the use of explosion-proof equipment is specied.
The maximum surface temperature specied on the nameplate refers to measurements made in
normal ambient and installation conditions.
Even minimal variations in these conditions (e.g. smaller mounting compartments, proximity of
external equipment to the gear unit that generates heat and not provided by the manufacturer) may
have a signicant effect on heat dissipation.
