1.7 Compliance with regulations
The installer is responsible for complying with all relevant regulations, such as national
wiring regulations, accident prevention regulations and electromagnetic compatibility
(EMC) regulations. Particular attention must be given to the cross-sectional areas of
conductors, the selection of fuses and other protection, and protective ground
connections.
The FXMP25 User Guide contains instructions for achieving compliance with specific
EMC standards.
Within the European Union, all machinery in which this product is used must comply
with the following directives:
2006/42/EC: Safety of machinery
2004/108/EC: Electromagnetic compatibility
1.8 Motor
Ensure the motor is installed in accordance with the manufacturer's recommendations.
Ensure the motor shaft is not exposed.
Low speeds may cause the motor to overheat because the cooling fan becomes less
effective. The motor should be installed with a protection thermistor. If necessary, an
electric forced ventilation fan should be used.
The values of the motor parameters set in the field controller affect the protection of the
motor. The default values in the field controller should not be relied upon.
1.9 Adjusting parameters
Some parameters have a profound effect on the operation of the field controller. They
must not be altered without careful consideration of the impact on the controlled system.
Measures must be taken to prevent unwanted changes due to error or tampering.
