Measures before commissioning

NOTICE
Damage to the machine
In order to avoid material damage, check the following points before commissioning
the motor:
Using appropriate measures, check whether the correct direction of rotation of
•
the motor has been set by the customer, e.g. by decoupling from the driven
load.
Ensure that temperature-sensitive parts (cables, etc.) are not in contact with the
•
machine enclosure.
Ensure that the condensation drain holes are always located at the lowest part
•
of the motor.
NOTICE
Damage caused by insufficient cooling
Effective cooling is no longer possible if air guidance of the machine is not provided
as intended. This can damage the machine.
Before commissioning, attach the covers to guarantee the intended air
•
guidance.
Measures
Once the system has been correctly installed, you should check the following prior to
commissioning:
● Ensure that the machine has been correctly installed and aligned.
● Connect the machine corresponding to the specified direction of rotation.
● Ensure that the operating conditions match the data specified on the rating plate.
● Lubricate the bearings, depending on the version. Ensure that machines with
roller bearings, which have been stored for longer than 24 months, are
relubricated.
Also observe the notes in Chapter Preparation for use (Page 89).
● Ensure that any optional supplementary machine monitoring equipment has been
connected correctly and is functioning as it should.
● For versions with bearing thermometers, check the bearing temperatures when
the machine starts to run for the first time. Set the values for alarm and shutdown
at the monitoring device. Also observe the notes in Chapter Setting values for
monitoring the bearing temperature (Page 123).
