⇒ All national standards must be followed for SERVO-DRIVE for AVENTOS
assembly. This includes, in particular, those related to the mechanical
safety of moving parts and electrical cabling.
⇒ Only qualified technicians may install/replace Blum components, modify
the position of the Blum transformer or modify any cabling.
⇒ The device may only be connected to a power supply that corresponds to
the type and frequency listed on the serial tag (see Blum transformer).
⇒ The outlet must be freely accessible.
⇒ To ensure that lift elements cannot be activated unintentionally, we recom-
mended connecting the Blum transformer to a switched outlet.
⇒ Only 1 Blum transformer may be used per distribution cable.
⇒ Maintain safety distances to the Blum transformer unit listed in the installa-
tion instructions.
⇒ Make sure that moisture cannot penetrate the Blum transformer and drive
unit.
⇒ Before starting repair or maintenance work, unplug the Blum transformer
to disconnect the power.
⇒ The drive unit, Blum transformer and SERVO-DRIVE switch should only
be cleaned with a moist cloth because penetrating moisture and aggres-
sive cleaning materials can damage the electronics of the drive unit, Blum
transformer and SERVO-DRIVE switch.
⇒ Do not touch the area around the lever during the opening and closing
motion.
Safety information
⇒ Never take apart a drive unit or a SERVO-DRIVE switch.
⇒ Damaged parts should not be used.
⇒ Sharp edges may damage the cable.
⇒ Neither the Blum transformer nor any cabling should come into contact
with moving parts.
DANGER
Danger of electric shock
⇒ Never open a Blum transformer. There is a danger of electric shock.
WARNING
There is a danger of injury if the lever springs upward.
There is a danger of injury from the lever springing upwards when the front is
