General information Note The safety instructions contained in this operating manual must be observed! Special designs and structural variants may differ from the basic type in terms of technical details. If there are any uncertainties, we strongly advise you to contact EMOD Motoren GmbH.
List of safety and installation notes Caution Electric motors have dangerous, live and rotating parts. All work during connection, commissioning, maintenance and disposal may only be carried out by qualified professionals. (Observe EN50110-1 and IEC 60364) Before beginning any work, any in particular before opening covers, the drive must be isolated according to regulations.
The obligations agreed in the supply contract, the general terms and conditions, as well as the manufacturer’s delivery conditions, and the applicable statutory provisions at the time of signing of the contract apply. We reserve the right to make technical changes within the context of the performance characteristics and further development.
Installation and commissioning Danger Installations and work may only be carried out with the device deenergised (separated from the mains) and the motor shut down. Death, cardiac arrhythmia ► Observe the 5 safety rules, see chapter List of safety and installation notes on page 5 Positioning 3.1.1 Location...
insulation resistance at a winding temperature of 25 °C is smaller than 30 MΩ, or smaller than 1 MΩ at a winding temperature of 75 °C, the motor winding should be dried until the required minimum insulation resistance is reached. The winding temperature should not exceed 80 °C in this regard! Loosen the bearing plate, so that an air exchange can be carried out with closed motors.
• Additional devices which are present (e.g. brakes) are functional, • The coolant supply is not restricted, • Measures have been taken to protect against contact with moving and live parts. Maintenance Danger Installations and work may only be carried out with the device deenergised (separated from the mains) and the motor shut down.
Caution When re-lubricating the bearings, the grease drain screws on the DE side and NDE side bearing plate, where present, must always be opened! Cleaning intervals The regular removal of old grease is necessary in order not to negatively affect the expected service life of the bearings.
