2.2 General safety and application instructions for Lenze motors
(According to: Low-Voltage Directive 73/23/EEC)
Low-voltage machines have hazardous live and rotating parts and possibly
also hot surfaces.
Synchronous machines induce voltages at open terminals during operation.
All operations concerning transport, connections, commissioning and
maintenance must be carried out by qualified, skilled personnel (EN 50110-1
(VDE 0105-100) and IEC 60364 must be observed). Inappropriate use creates
the risk of severe injury to persons and damage to material assets.
Low-voltage machines may only be operated under the conditions that are
indicated in the section ”Application as directed”.
The conditions at the place of installation must comply with the data given
on the nameplate and in the documentation.
Low-voltage machines are intended for commercial i nstallations. They
comply with the harmonised standards of the series EN 60034 (VDE 0530).
Their use in potentially explosive atmospheres is prohibited unless they are
expressly intended for such use (follow additional instructions).
Low-voltage machines are components for installation into machines as
defined in the Machinery Directive 98/37/EC. Commissioning is prohibited
until the conformity of the end product with this directive has been
established (follow i. a. EN 60204-1)
Low-voltage machines with IP23 protection or less are only intended for
outdoor use when applying special protective features.
The integrated brakes must not be used as safety brakes. It cannot be ruled
out that factors which c annot be influenced, such as oil ingress due to a
defective A-side shaft seal, cause a brake torque reduction.
Damages must be reported immediately upon receipt to the forwarder; if
required, commissioning must be excluded. Tighten screwed-in ring bolts
before transport. They are designed for the weight of the low-voltage
machines, do not apply extra loads. If necessary, use suitable and adequately
dimensioned means of transport (e. g. rope guides).
Remove transport locking devices before commissioning. Reuse them for
further transport. When storing low-voltage machines, ensure a dry,
dust-free and low-vibration (v
eff
≤ 0.2 mm/s) environment (damages while
being stored).
