Special safety instructions for AM8100
The safety instructions are designed to avert danger and must be followed during installation,
commissioning, production, troubleshooting, maintenance and trial or test assemblies.
The servomotors of the AM8100 series are not designed for stand-alone operation and are always installed
in a machine or system. After installation the additional documentation and safety instructions provided by
the machine manufacturer must be read and followed.
Serious risk of injury through high electrical voltage!
• Never open the servomotor when it is live. Opening the device would invalidate any warranty and liability
claims against Beckhoff Automation GmbH.
• It must be ensured that the protective conductor has been firmly connected.
• The machine manufacturer must prepare a hazard analysis for the machine, and must take appropriate
measures to ensure that unexpected movements cannot lead to injury to persons or to objects.
• Before working on the AM8100 the servomotor must be disconnected from the servo terminal and se-
cured against switching on again.
Serious risk of injury through hot surfaces!
• The surface temperature may exceed 100 °C, resulting in a risk of burns.
• Avoid touching the housing during or shortly after operation.
• Leave the servomotor to cool down for at least 15 minutes after it is switched off.
• Use a thermometer to check whether the surface has cooled down sufficiently.
Danger for persons, the environment or equipment
• Carefully read this manual before using the servomotor thoroughly, paying particular attention to the
safety instructions. In the event of any uncertainties please notify your sales office immediately and re-
frain from working on the servomotor.
• Only well trained, qualified electricians with sound knowledge of drive equipment may work on the de-
vice.
• During installation it is essential to ensure that the specified ventilation clearances and climatic condi-
tions are adhered to. Further information can be found in the technical data and mechanical installation
sections.
• If a servomotor is installed in a machine it must not be commissioned until proof of compliance of the
machine with the latest version of the EC Machinery Directive has been provided. This includes all rele-
vant harmonised standards and regulations required for implementation of this Directive in national legis-
lation.
