2.4 Safety notes
2.4.1 General safety notes
The servo positioning controller corresponds to IP20 degree of protection as well as pollution
degree 2. Make sure that the environment corresponds to this degree of protection and
pollution degree.
Only use replacements parts and accessories approved by the manufacturer.
The devices must be connected to the mains supply as per EN regulations, so that they can
be cut off the mains supply by means of corresponding separation devices (e.g. main switch,
contactor, power switch).
The servo drive controller may be protected using an AC/DC sensitive 300mA fault current
protection switch, type B (RCD = Residual Current protective Device).
Gold contacts or contacts with a high contact pressure should be used to switch the control
contacts.
As a precaution screening measures for switchgears must be met, as e.g. contactors and
relays with RC elements and/or diodes wire.
The safety rules and regulations of the country in which the device will be operated must be
complied with.
The environment conditions defined in the product documentation must be kept. Safety-
critical applications are not allowed, unless specifically approved by the manufacturer.
The compliance with the limits required by national regulations is the responsibility of the
manufacturer of the machine or system.
The technical data and the connection and installation conditions for the servo drive controller
are to be found in this product manual and must be met.
DANGER!
The general setup and safety regulations for work on power installations (e.g. DIN, VDE,
EN, IEC or other national and international regulations) must be complied with.
Non-compliance may result in death, personal injury or serious property damages.
