Safety information

2 Safety information
The servomotors have been developed based on the state of the art for electronics and electrical engineering, as well as
recognized guidelines for the safety and protection of users. See also chapter "2.4 Legal requirements".
The drive may only be operated, installed, maintained, and put into operation by authorized specialist personnel who have read
and understood these operating instructions in full. The drive must be used with due care and in compliance with the safety
information outlined in these operating instructions and the country-specific applicable regulations.

2.1 General safety information

Always observe the following safety information, regardless of the specific operating conditions:
• Before you start working with the drive, switch it off and secure it from switching itself on again.
• Before opening the drive or entering the danger zone, bring all of the drives to a standstill and secure them from switching
themselves on again.
• Do not modify or convert the drive, or fit any attachments to it, without approval from ebm-papst.
• Commissioning may only take place following full verification of compliance with all relevant legal requirements, guidelines
and application-related safety regulations (e.g. accident prevention regulations).
• The safety hazards associated with the drive must be reassessed following installation in the end application.
• Keep the workplace clean and tidy. Untidiness in the work area increases the risk of accidents.

2.2 Documentation

When using the drive in conjunction with the components from the Siemens product partner range for SIMATIC MICRO-DRIVE
for the safety extra-low voltage range, the relevant operating instructions must also be observed. In addition to these operating
instructions, the "TIA Selection Tool" from Siemens is required for setting and parameterization.
You can find further information on the products from the Siemens product partner range in the product catalog "Drive Concept
for SIMATIC MICRO-DRIVE" on our homepage:
