Danger to life through electric shock when using third-party motors
VPM can be used with third-party motors. If, when using third-party motors, the VPM does
not limit the DC link voltage, this can result in death or severe injury.
• Please observe the following when using third-party motors:
Danger to life when the drive automatically starts up in an uncontrolled fashion
If a drive inadvertently starts, this can result in accidents and possibly death.
• Take the appropriate measures to prevent the drive automatically starting up in an
NOTICE
Damage when using motors that are not short-circuit proof
Using motors that are not short-circuit proof in conjunction with a Voltage Protection Module
can result in their destruction.
• Only use motors that are short-circuit proof.
Danger of fire through overheating due to insufficient ventilation clearances
Insufficient ventilation clearances can result in overheating with danger to persons as a
result of smoke and fire. Further, increased failures can occur and the service life of
components shortened.
• Maintain 200 mm ventilation clearances above and below the component.
NOTICE
Damage to devices as a result of incorrect connecting cables
Using incorrect connecting cables for Voltage Protection Modules can damage the
connected components.
• Use shielded MOTION-CONNECT 800PLUS motor cables, type 6FX8.
