Bosch Rexroth EFC 3600 - Protection against Contact with Hot Parts; Protection During Handling and Mounting

– Areas in which parts of motors with permanent magnets are stored, repaired or
mounted.
● If it is necessary for somebody with a heart pacemaker to enter such an area, a doc‐
tor must be consulted prior to doing so. The noise immunity of implanted heart pace‐
makers differs so greatly that no general rules can be given.
● Those with metal implants or metal pieces, as well as with hearing aids, must con‐
sult a doctor before they enter the areas described above.
1.1.5 Protection Against Contact With Hot Parts
Hot surfaces of components of the electric drive and control system. Risk of burns!
● Do not touch hot surfaces of, for example, braking resistors, heat sinks, supply units
and drive controllers, motors, windings and laminated cores!
● According to the operating conditions, temperatures of the surfaces can be higher
than 60 °C (140 °F) during or after operation.
● Before touching motors after having switched them off, let them cool down for a suf‐
ficient period of time. Cooling down can require up to 140 minutes! The time required
for cooling down is approximately five times the thermal time constant specified in
the technical data.
● After switching chokes, supply units and drive controllers off, wait 15 minutes to al‐
low them to cool down before touching them.
● Wear safety gloves or do not work at hot surfaces.
● For certain applications, and in accordance with the respective safety regulations,
the manufacturer of the machine or installation must take measures to avoid injuries
caused by burns in the final application. These measures can be, for example:
Warnings at the machine or installation, guards (shieldings or barriers) or safety in‐
structions in the application documentation.
1.1.6 Protection During Handling and Mounting
Risk of injury by improper handling! Injury by crushing, shearing, cutting, hitting!
● Observe the relevant statutory regulations of accident prevention.
● Use suitable equipment for mounting and transport.
● Avoid jamming and crushing by appropriate measures.
● Always use suitable tools. Use special tools if specified.
● Use lifting equipment and tools in the correct manner.
● Use suitable protective equipment (hard hat, safety goggles, safety shoes, safety
gloves, for example).
● Do not stand under hanging loads.
