Preparations for use
Good planning and preparation of machine applications are essential in terms of keeping
installation simple and avoiding errors, ensuring safe operation, and allowing access to the
machine for servicing and corrective maintenance.
This chapter outlines what you need to consider when configuring your plant in relation to this
machine and the preparations you need to make before the machine is delivered.
4.1
Safety-related aspects to consider when configuring the plant
A number of residual risks are associated with the machine. These are described in the chapter
titled "Safety information" and in related sections.
Take appropriate safety precautions (covers, barriers, markings, etc.) to ensure the machine
is operated safely within your plant.
Observing the operating mode
Observe the machine's operating mode. Use a suitable control system to prevent overspeeds,
thus protecting the machine from damage.
4.2
Machines without final paint coating
For machines, which are only delivered with primer, you must paint them to comply with the
applicable guidelines for the specific application. The primer alone does not provide adequate
corrosion protection.
The paint applied must conform to the requirements to avoid electrostatic charging, see
EN 60079-0.
Note
Please contact the Service Center for recommendations relating to the paint finish.

Thermal motor protection
The machine can optionally be equipped with PTC thermistors, PT100 or micro-thermal NC
contacts. Thermal motor protection by directly monitoring the winding temperature is
permissible if this is certified and indicated on the rating plate.
