NOTICE
Overheating of the motor through jumpering the temperature sensor connections
Jumpering temperature sensor connections "+Temp" and "-Temp" results in incorrect
measurement results. Damage to the motor can result if the overheating is not detected.
● When using several temperature sensors, separately connect the individual sensors to
NOTICE
Device failure as a result of unshielded or incorrectly routed cables to temperature sensors
Unshielded or incorrectly routed cables to temperature sensors can result in interference
being coupled into the signal processing electronics from the power side. This can result in
significant disturbance of all signals (fault messages) up to failure of individual components
(destruction of the devices).
● Only use shielded cables as temperature sensor cables.
● If temperature sensor cables are routed together with the motor cable, use separately
● Connect the cable shield at both ends to ground potential through a large surface area.
● Recommendation: Use suitable MOTION-CONNECT cables.
Note
Incorrect temperature measured values as a result of cables with an excessively high
resistance
An excessively long cable length or an excessively small cable cross-section can falsify the
temperature measurement (for a Pt100, a 10 Ω cable resistance can falsify the result of the
measurement by 10%). As a consequence, excessively high measured values are output,
which could lead to the motor being unnecessarily tripped prematurely.
● Use only cable lengths ≤ 300 m.
● For cable lengths >100 m, use cables with a cross-section of ≥1 mm
