Safety Instructions for Electric Drives and Controls
⇒ Secure vertical axes against falling or dropping after
switching off the motor power by, for example:
- mechanically securing the vertical axes
- adding an external braking/ arrester/ clamping
mechanism
- ensuring sufficient equilibration of the vertical axes
The standard equipment motor brake or an external
brake controlled directly by the drive controller are not
sufficient to guarantee personal safety!
Disconnect electrical power to the equipment using a
⇒
master switch and secure the switch against
reconnection for:
- maintenance and repair work
- cleaning of equipment
- long periods of discontinued equipment use
Prevent the operation of high-frequency, remote
⇒
control and radio equipment near electronics circuits
and supply leads. If the use of such equipment cannot
be avoided, verify the system and the installation for
possible malfunctions in all possible positions of
normal use before initial startup. If necessary, perform
a special electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) test on
the installation.
Magnetic and electromagnetic fields generated near current-carrying
conductors and permanent magnets in motors represent a serious health
hazard to persons with heart pacemakers, metal implants and hearing
aids.
Health hazard for persons with heart
pacemakers, metal implants and hearing aids in
proximity to electrical equipment!
Persons with heart pacemakers, hearing aids and
⇒
WARNING
metal implants are not permitted to enter the following
areas:
- Areas in which electrical equipment and parts are
mounted, being operated or started up.
- Areas in which parts of motors with permanent
magnets are being stored, operated, repaired or
mounted.
If it is necessary for a person with a heart pacemaker
⇒
to enter such an area, then a doctor must be
consulted prior to doing so. Heart pacemakers that
are already implanted or will be implanted in the
future, have a considerable variation in their electrical
noise immunity. Therefore there are no rules with
general validity.
Persons with hearing aids, metal implants or metal
⇒
pieces must consult a doctor before they enter the
areas described above. Otherwise, health hazards will
occur.
