Order-specific agreements
Observe any order-specific agreements regarding the cooling water specification. These might
deviate from the named cooling-water specification.
Note
Maintenance
The cooling system is maintenance-free provided cooling water of the specified quality is used.
4.5 Thermal motor protection
The machine is equipped with PTC thermistors for direct monitoring of the motor temperature
to protect the machine against overheating during operation. Plan a corresponding circuit for
monitoring.
