Fitting

Observe the instructions in section 3, "Safety instructions"!
DANGER
Risk of explosion
Danger to life through ignition of any potentially explosive atmosphere while fitting the gear unit.
The gear unit must not be installed whilst the environment is potentially explosive.
6.1

General information on fitting

When transporting the gear unit, observe the notes in section 4, "Transport and storage".
Fitting work must be done with great care by authorised, trained and qualified personnel. Siemens cannot
be held liable for damage caused by incorrect assembly and installation.
As early as during the planning phase sufficient free space must be allowed around the gear unit for later
care and maintenance work.
Note
Free convection through the surface of the housing must be ensured by suitable measures.
If the gear unit is fitted with a fan, sufficient space for air intake should be ensured.
Adequate lifting equipment must be available before beginning the fitting work.
NOTICE
Material damage
Risk of damage to the gear unit.
Care must be taken to ensure that no electric current can flow through gear units that are operated
together with electrical equipment that generate electric current or in which electric current flows
(e.g. motors, generators). Electric current flow can cause irreparable damage to bearings and teeth.
Electric­current flow can be caused by e.g. short circuiting, voltage flash­overs and conductive dust
layers.
Suitable measures may be:
– Use of insulators
– The gear unit must be properly earthed
DANGER
Risk of explosion
Danger to life through overheating of the gear unit through external influences and thus through ignition
of a potentially explosive atmosphere possible.
During operation the unit must not be allowed to heat up through exposure to sunlight or through heat
from other external sources, and suitable measures must be taken to prevent this.
Suitable measures may be:
– fitting a sunshade roof
– fitting an additional cooling unit
– fitting the oil sump with a temperature­monitoring device with a shut­off function.
Heat concentration must be avoided.
The ambient­temperature range indicated on the rating plate must be adhered to.
