Danger From Strong Magnetic Fields - Siemens SIMOTICS L-1FN3 Configuration Manual

Underwriters Laboratories
SIMOTICS motors are generally in compliance with UL and cUL as components of motor
applications, and are appropriately listed.
Specifically developed motors and functions are the exceptions in this case. Here, it is
important that you carefully observe the contents of the quotation and that there is a cUL
mark on the rating plate!
Quality systems
Siemens AG employs a quality management system that meets the requirements of
ISO 9001 and ISO 14001.

Danger from strong magnetic fields

Occurrence of magnetic fields
Motor components with permanent magnets generate very strong magnetic fields. In the
no-current condition, the magnetic field strength of the motors comes exclusively from the
magnetic fields of components equipped with permanent magnets. Additional
electromagnetic fields occur in operation.
