Safety Procedures and Warnings
IMPORTANT: This manual tells you how to carefully and correctly use and operate the
PRO165SL/SLE stage.
lRead all parts of this manual before you install or operate the PRO165SL/SLE stage or
before you do maintenance to your system.
lTo prevent injury to you and damage to the equipment, obey the precautions in this
manual.
lAll specifications and illustrations are for reference only and were complete and accurate
as of the release of this manual. To find the newest information about this product,
refer to www.aerotech.com.
If you do not understand the information in this manual, contact Aerotech Global
Technical Support.
IMPORTANT: This product has been designed for light industrial manufacturing or
laboratory environments. If the product is used in a manner not specified by the
manufacturer:
lThe protection provided by the equipment could be impaired.
lThe life expectancy of the product could be decreased.
DANGER: To decrease the risk of electrical shock, injury, death, and damage to the
equipment, obey the precautions that follow.
lRestrict access to the PRO165SL/SLE when it is connected to a power source.
lDo not connect or disconnect electrical components, wires, and cables while this product
is connected to a power source.
lBefore you do maintenance to the equipment, disconnect the electrical power.
lUncouple or otherwise prevent motor-coupled machinery movement when you do ser-
vice to the equipment.
lMake sure that all components are grounded correctly and that they obey the local elec-
trical safety requirements.
lMake sure that the motor frame is safety grounded with a conductor equal in size to the
phase conductors.
lThe drive must contain a properly-sized fuse, matched to the motor cable wire size.
lSupply each operator with the necessary protection from live electrical circuits.

DANGER: Hot surfaces. The case temperature could exceed 70°C.
lDo not touch the motor while it is in operation.
lWait until the motor has cooled before you touch it.
DANGER: The motor is not rated for use in explosive atmospheres. Do not operate the
motor in the presence of potentially explosive mixtures of air-borne dust or combustible
vapors.
IMPORTANT: Equipment grounds must be in place and maintained to reduce the risk of
serious or potentially fatal injury from electric shock.
DANGER: Strong Magnets / Electromagnetic Fields
lMotors and their associated drive, cables, and components are sources of elec-
tromagnetic fields. Persons with implanted medical devices need to evaluate the risks
associated with these devices before they can enter an area where the devices are in use.
lStrong rare-earth magnets are present in the motor. Interaction with metallic objects
(tools, watches, or keys, for example) could produce pinch injuries or damage to the
equipment.
lUse non-magnetic tools when you do service to the motor.
DANGER: System travel can cause crush, shear, or pinch injuries. Restrict access to all
motor and stage parts while your system is connected to a power source.
lDo not put yourself in the travel path of machinery.
lMotors are capable of very high speeds and acceleration rates.
