Basic safety notes • Never rely solely on the response of the monitoring function to avert danger. Until the installed monitors become effective, it must be assumed that the drive movement is faulty, with its action being dependent on the control unit and the current operating condition of the drive.
Basic safety notes Possible electrostatic energy Components or assembly groups may become electrostatically charged. When the electrostatic charge is touched, the discharge may trigger a shock reaction leading to injuries. • The operator must ensure that all components and assembly groups are included in the local potential equalisation in accordance with the applicable regulations.
