Instructions for installation and commissioning
General information
•Observe the safety instructions in EN 60335-2-97. Please note that this list of safety instructions is not
exhaustive, since it would be impossible for the standard to include all sources of danger. For example,
the design of the operated product, the way the drive works in the situation it is installed in or even the
way the end product is mounted in the end user’s place of use cannot be taken into consideration by
the drive manufacturer.
If any questions or uncertainties regarding the safety instructions contained in the standard arise,
please contact the manufacturer of the part or end product in question.
•All applicable standards and regulations for electrical installation must be complied with.
•All work, including maintenance and cleaning, on electrical installations as well as other system parts
must always be performed by authorised specialists, in particular qualified electricians.
•Only use spare parts, tools and accessory devices which have been approved by the drive manufac-
turer.
Unapproved third-party products or modifications to the system and its accessories represent a risk to
your safety and the safety of others. This means that the use of unapproved third-party products, or
modifications which have not been agreed with or approved by us, are prohibited. We do not accept li-
ability for damage or injury arising from such actions.
•Position control devices within sight of the driven product, but away from moving parts, at a height of
over 1.5m.
•Permanently mounted control devices must be positioned where they can be seen.
•Rated torque and duty cycle must be suitable for the requirements of the driven product.
Technical data – rated torque and service life can be found on the type plate of the tubular drive.
