Do not engage with any work unless you possess the necessary skills.
Legal
requirements
Observe any regulation applicable in the country and/or at the site of implementation with regard to
health and safety/accident prevention and/or environmental protection.
Make sure that all associated devices and components are installed according to local regulations.
Additional safety
equipment
Be aware that, by principle, an electronic apparatus can not be considered fail-safe. Therefore, you must
make sure that any machine/apparatus has been fitted with independent monitoring and safety equip-
ment. If the machine/apparatus should break down, if it is operated incorrectly, if the control unit breaks
down or if the cables break or get disconnected, etc., the complete drive system must return – and be
kept – in a safe operating mode.
Repairs Be aware that you are not entitled to perform any repair on components supplied by maxon motor.
Danger to life Touching live wires causes death or serious injuries!
• Consider any power cable as connected to live power, unless having proven the opposite!
• Make sure that neither end of cable is connected to live power!
• Make sure that power source cannot be engaged while work is in process!
• Obey lock-out/tag-out procedures!
• Make sure to securely lock any power engaging equipment against unintentional engagement
and tag it with your name!
Max. supply
voltage
The connected supply voltage must be between 8 VDC and 28 VDC. Permanently applied voltages
above 30 VDC will destroy the unit.

sitive components
The built-in electronics can be destroyed by externally applied electronic discharges during transport,
installation, and during operation.
