2 Safety
2.1 Safety Instructions
During operation there are deadly hazards, with the possibility of death, severe injury or
material damage. Do not open or touch the equipment during operation. Keep all covers and
cabinet doors closed during operation. Touching the equipment is allowed during
installation and commissioning for properly qualified persons only.
— During operation, servo amplifiers may have uncovered live components,
depending on their level of enclosure protection.
— Control and power connections may be live, even though the motor is not rotating.
— Servo amplifiers may have hot surfaces during operation.
Surface can reach temperatures above 80°C.
There is a danger of electrical arcing with damage to contacts and personal injury. Never
undo any electrical connections to the servo amplifier while it is live.
Wait at least five minutes after disconnecting the servo amplifier from the main supply
power before touching potentially live sections of the equipment (e.g. contacts) or undoing
any connections.
Capacitors can still have dangerous voltages present up to five minutes after switching off
the supply power. To be sure, measure the voltage in the DC Bus link and wait until it has
fallen below 40V.
Incorrect handling of the servo amplifier can lead to personal injury or material damage.
Read this documentation before carrying out the installation and commissioning. It is vital
that you keep to the technical data and information on connection requirements (nameplate
and documentation).
Only properly qualified personnel are permitted to carry out activities such as transport,
installation, commissioning and maintenance. Properly qualified persons are those who are
familiar with the transport, assembly, installation, commissioning and operation of the
product, and who have the appropriate qualifications for their job. The qualified personnel
must know and observe the following standards:
— IEC 60364 and IEC 60664
— national accident prevention regulations
The manufacturer of the machine must produce a hazard analysis for the machine and take
appropriate measures to ensure that unforeseen movements do not result in personal injury
or material damage.
Check the Hardware Revision Number of the product (see product label). This revision
number must match the Hardware Revision Number on the cover page of the manual.
The servo amplifiers contain electrostatically sensitive components which may be damaged
by incorrect handling. Discharge your body before touching the servo amplifier. Avoid
contact with highly insulating materials (artificial fabrics, plastic film etc.). Place the servo
amplifier on a conductive surface.
