General safety instructions

These operating instructions contain all the necessary information concerning the trans-
port, installation, initial start up, maintenance etc. of geared motors.
This operating manual applies in conjunction with the SIEMENS project planning guide
and the operating manual "Three-Phase Servomotors".
The fulfilment of any rights under the warranty is conditional upon exact compliance with
the specifications and instructions in these operating instructions.
To prevent hazards of any kind arising during transport, storage, mounting, start
up, maintenance etc., the instructions relating to safety and hazards in these op-
erating instructions and the operating instructions for three-phase servomotors
(1FK7.) must be complied with, without fail. Failure to observe the instructions can
lead to serious personal injuries or property damage.
Ensure that your end product conforms to all currently valid legal requirements.
Follow the compulsory national, local and installation-specific regulations.
These motors must not be brought into use until it has been established that the
end product conforms to the currently valid directives.
Mechanical hazards, arising for example from a freely revolving transmission shaft,
must be prevented by suitable protective devices. All the keys in the shafts must be se-
cured.
Electrical hazards must be prevented by precisely following the instructions in the
"Initial start up" section.
The motors' rotors contain permanent magnets with high magnetic flux densities which
exert strong attractive forces on ferromagnetic bodies.
People fitted with a heart pacemaker are at risk in the vicinity of a disassembled
rotor.
Data stored on electronic data media may be destroyed.
It is forbidden to use these servomotors in areas at risk of explosion, unless this is ex-
pressly authorized.
The drive must be specially equipped by the manufacturer for operation outside the per-
missible temperature range.
Hazards with high temperature. Do not touch the hot gearbox/motor casing with your
bare hands. A high operating temperature may cause burns or nervous reactions. The
surface temperature of the motors can reach 140°C, that of the gear 90°C.
Do not touch hot surfaces!
Temperature-sensitive components (electric lines, electronic components) must not
touch hot surfaces. Overheating in the motors may destroy the windings and bearings,
and demagnetize the permanent magnets.
Only operate the motors with effective temperature control.
Intended Usage
Usage for the intended purpose includes observing all the specifications in the operating
manual and the project planning guide "Three-phase servomotors".
The gears/geared motors have been designed for the permissible outputs and loads stat-
ed in the catalog.
The geared motors may only be used for the purpose for which they have been designed,
taking all operating factors into account. Any overload of the drives is deemed as not be-
ing use for the intended purpose. The manufacturer shall not be liable for any damage
ensuing from any unauthorized modifications to any part of the drive.
