Introduction2.5 Safety instructions2.5.1. General hazardsGeneral Hazards on Non-Compliance with the Safety InstructionsThe device described in this manual is designed in accordance with the latesttechnology and is safe in operation. Nevertheless, the device can entail certainhazards if used improperly or for purposes other than those explicitly intended.Electronic, moving and rotating components can cause danger for life and limb of the operator and material damageDesignated useThe device is designed for operation in electric power drive systems (VDE0160).Motion sequences can be automated with this device. Several motion sequencescan be can combined by interconnecting several of these devices. Mutualinterlocking functions must be incorporated for this purpose.2.5.2. Working safely / qualificationThis device may be operated only by qualified personnel.Qualified personnel in the sense of these operating instructions consists of: Persons who, by virtue to their training, experience and instruction, and theirknowledge of pertinent norms, specifications, accident prevention regulations andoperational relationships, have been authorized by the officer responsible for thesafety of the system to perform the required task and in the process are capableof recognizing potential hazards and avoiding them (definition of technicalpersonnel according to VDE105 or IEC364), who have a knowledge of first-aid techniques and the local emergency rescueservices, who have read and will observe the safety instructions, who have read and observe the manual or help (or the sections pertinent to thework to be carried out).This applies to all work relating to setting up, commissioning, configuring,programming, modifying the conditions of utilization and operating modes, and tomaintenance work.This manual and the help information must be available close to the device duringthe performance of all tasks.2.5.3. Special dangersDanger!Due to movable machine parts and high voltages, the device can pose a lethaldanger. Danger of electric shock in the case of non-respect of the followinginstructions. The device corresponds to DIN EN 61800-3, i.e. it is subject tolimited sale. The device can emit disturbances in certain local environments. Inthis case, the user is liable to take suitable measures. Check that all live terminals are secured against contact. Perilous voltage levelsof up to 850V occur. Do not bypass power direct current.Caution - Risk of Electric Shock!Always switch off devices before wiring them!Dangerous voltages are still present until 10 min. after switching off the powersupply. The device must be permanently grounded due to high earth leakage currents. The drive motor must be grounded with a suitable protective lead. The devices are equipped with high voltage DC condensers. Before removing theprotective cover, the discharging time must be awaited. After switching off thesupply voltage, it may take up to 10 minutes (with additional capacity modules itmay take up to 30 minutes) to discharge the capacitors.Danger of electric shock in case of non respect.8 192-120148N13 2019-06Multi-axis devices
