ctrlX SAFETY "SafeMotion"
Instructions with regard to specific dangers
● Before switching on, the equipment grounding conductor must have been
permanently connected to all electrical components in accordance with the
connection diagram.
●
Even for short measurements or tests, operation is only allowed with the
equipment grounding conductor permanently connected to the specified
points of the components.
●
Before accessing electrical parts with voltage potentials higher than 50 V,
disconnect electrical components from the mains or from the voltge source.
Protect the electrical component against restart.
●
Observe the following aspects in the case of electrical components:
Prior to touching an electrical component, always wait for 30 minutes after
switching off power in order for live capacitors to discharge. Before begin-
ning to work, measure the electrical voltage of live parts to make sure that
the equipment is safe to touch.
● Install the provided covers and safety devices for protection against contact
prior to switch-on.
● Do not touch any electrical connection points of the components while
power is turned on.
● Do not connect or disconnect live parts.
●
Under certain conditions, electric drive systems can be operated at mains
protected by residual-current-operated circuit-breakers sensitive to universal
current (RCDs/RCMs).
●
Secure built-in devices from penetrating foreign objects and water, as well
as from direct contact, by providing an external housing, for example a con-
trol cabinet.
High housing voltage and high leakage current! Danger to life, risk of injury by
electric shock!
●
Prior to switching on and commissioning, ground or connect the electric
drive and control system components to the equipment grounding con-
ductor at the grounding points.
● Connect the equipment grounding conductor of the electric drive and con-
trol system components permanently to the main power supply at all times.
The leakage current is greater than 3.5 mA.
● Establish an equipment grounding connection with a minimum cross sec-
tion according to the table below. With an outer conductor cross section
smaller than 10 mm2 (8 AWG), the alternative connection of two equipment
grounding conductors is allowed, each having the same cross section as the
outer conductors.
