Installing the machine

5.3.1

Preparing the assembly area

1. Prepare a suitable assembly area (e.g. assembly stands). Make sure that the assembly area
has sufficient clearance from the floor for the DE shaft end. The necessary data is provided
in the machine dimension drawing.
2. Refer to the shipping documents to check that all motor components are available for
assembly.
5.3.2

Lift the machine to where it will be mounted and position it

• For vertical installation, use all the eyebolts provided and when necessary, hoisting straps
according to EN 1492-1 and/or lashing straps according to EN 12195-2 to stabilize the
position.
• Prevent foreign bodies from falling into the fan cover. For vertical machine installation with
the shaft end facing downwards, attach a protective canopy.
• If the shaft extension is facing upwards, the user must prevent liquid from moving along the
shaft and entering the motor.
• Clean bare metal surfaces with anti-corrosion agent using mineral spirits to ensure proper
installation and/or machine mounting.
• Do not obstruct the ventilation. Do not draw in the hot discharged air directly – also from
adjacent equipment.
• Avoid exposing them to direct, intense solar radiation, rain, snow, ice, or also dust for
extended periods. Attach a covering structure or an additional cover when using or storing
outdoors.
• Do not exceed the permissible axial and radial forces.
• When clouds or layers of dust are present, strictly maintain the temperature limits according
to EN/IEC 60079-14. The maximum surface temperature is stamped on the rating plate for
dust explosion-proof motors.
• Only use explosion-proof machines in the appropriate areas in accordance with
directive 1999/92/EC or in accordance with the appropriate country regulations.
If the certification is supplemented by an X, comply with the special conditions in the EC type
examination certificate or the IECEx Certificate of Conformity. AUTOHOTSPOT
• When installing electrical systems in hazardous zones, comply with EN/IEC 60079-14 and the
corresponding country regulations.
• Take into account thermal transfer between the driven load and the machine. Carefully
ensure that permissible temperatures are maintained.
• The machine temperature class specified on the rating plate must be equal to or greater than
the temperature class of any combustible gases that may develop.
• Select optional mounted equipment according to the requirements of Directive 2014/34/EU,
IECEx scheme or in accordance with the appropriate country regulations.
