products, the connected extra-low voltage circuits must comply with the re‐
quirements for PELV ("Protective Extra-Low Voltage").
3.3.3 Protection Against Dangerous Movements
Dangerous movements can be caused by faulty control of connected motors.
Some common examples are:

Safety Instructions for Electric Drives and Controls

● Improper or wrong wiring or cable connection
● Operator errors
●Wrong input of parameters before commissioning
● Malfunction of sensors and encoders
● Defective components
● Software or firmware errors
These errors can occur immediately after equipment is switched on or even
after an unspecified time of trouble-free operation.
The monitoring functions in the components of the electric drive and control
system will normally be sufficient to avoid malfunction in the connected drives.
Regarding personal safety, especially the danger of injury and/or property dam‐
age, this alone cannot be relied upon to ensure complete safety. Until the
integrated monitoring functions become effective, it must be assumed in any
case that faulty drive movements will occur. The extent of faulty drive move‐
ments depends upon the type of control and the state of operation.
Dangerous movements! Danger to life, risk of injury, serious injury or property
damage!
A risk assessment must be prepared for the installation or machine, with its
specific conditions, in which the components of the electric drive and control
system are installed.
As a result of the risk assessment, the user must provide for monitoring func‐
tions and higher-level measures on the installation side for personal safety. The
safety regulations applicable to the installation or machine must be taken into
consideration. Unintended machine movements or other malfunctions are pos‐
sible if safety devices are disabled, bypassed or not activated.
To avoid accidents, injury and/or property damage:
● Keep free and clear of the machine’s range of motion and moving machine
parts. Prevent personnel from accidentally entering the machine’s range
of motion by using, for example:
– Safety fences
– Safety guards
– Protective coverings
– Light barriers
● Make sure the safety fences and protective coverings are strong enough
to resist maximum possible kinetic energy.
● Mount emergency stopping switches in the immediate reach of the oper‐
ator. Before commissioning, verify that the emergency stopping equip‐
ment works. Do not operate the machine if the emergency stopping switch
is not working.
● Prevent unintended start-up. Isolate the drive power connection by means
of OFF switches/OFF buttons or use a safe starting lockout.
● Make sure that the drives are brought to safe standstill before accessing
or entering the danger zone.
● Additionally secure vertical axes against falling or dropping after switching
off the motor power by, for example,
– mechanically securing the vertical axes,
– adding an external braking/arrester/clamping mechanism or
– ensuring sufficient counterbalancing of the vertical axes.

Safety Instructions for Electric Drives and Controls

● The standard equipment motor holding brake or an external holding brake
controlled by the drive controller is not sufficient to guarantee personal
safety!
● Disconnect electrical power to the components of the electric drive and
control system using the master switch and secure them from reconnec‐
tion ("lock out") for:
– Maintenance and repair work
– Cleaning of equipment
– Long periods of discontinued equipment use
● Prevent the operation of high-frequency, remote control and radio equip‐
ment near components of the electric drive and control system and their
supply leads. If the use of these devices cannot be avoided, check the
machine or installation, at initial commissioning of the electric drive and
control system, for possible malfunctions when operating such high-fre‐
quency, remote control and radio equipment in its possible positions of
normal use. It might possibly be necessary to perform a special electro‐
magnetic compatibility (EMC) test.
3.3.4 Protection Against Magnetic and Electromagnetic Fields During Oper‐
ation and Mounting
Magnetic and electromagnetic fields generated by current-carrying conductors
or permanent magnets of electric motors represent a serious danger to persons
with heart pacemakers, metal implants and hearing aids.
Health hazard for persons with heart pacemakers, metal implants and hearing
aids in proximity to electric components!
● Persons with heart pacemakers and metal implants are not allowed to
enter the following areas:
– Areas in which components of the electric drive and control systems
are mounted, commissioned and operated.
– Areas in which parts of motors with permanent magnets are stored,
repaired or mounted.
● If it is necessary for somebody with a heart pacemaker to enter such an
area, a doctor must be consulted prior to doing so. The noise immunity of
implanted heart pacemakers differs so greatly that no general rules can
be given.
● Those with metal implants or metal pieces, as well as with hearing aids,
must consult a doctor before they enter the areas described above.
3.3.5 Protection Against Contact With Hot Parts
Hot surfaces of components of the electric drive and control system. Risk of
burns!
● Do not touch hot surfaces of, for example, braking resistors, heat sinks,
supply units and drive controllers, motors, windings and laminated cores!
● According to the operating conditions, temperatures of the surfaces can
be higher than 60 °C (140 °F) during or after operation.
● Before touching motors after having switched them off, let them cool down
for a sufficient period of time. Cooling down can require up to 140 mi‐
nutes! The time required for cooling down is approximately five times the
thermal time constant specified in the technical data.

Safety Instructions for Electric Drives and Controls

● After switching chokes, supply units and drive controllers off, wait 15 mi‐
nutes to allow them to cool down before touching them.
● Wear safety gloves or do not work at hot surfaces.
● For certain applications, and in accordance with the respective safety reg‐
ulations, the manufacturer of the machine or installation must take meas‐
ures to avoid injuries caused by burns in the final application. These
measures can be, for example: Warnings at the machine or installation,
guards (shieldings or barriers) or safety instructions in the application
documentation.
3.3.6 Protection During Handling and Mounting
Risk of injury by improper handling! Injury by crushing, shearing, cutting, hitting!
● Observe the relevant statutory regulations of accident prevention.
● Use suitable equipment for mounting and transport.
● Avoid jamming and crushing by appropriate measures.
● Always use suitable tools. Use special tools if specified.
● Use lifting equipment and tools in the correct manner.
● Use suitable protective equipment (hard hat, safety goggles, safety shoes,
safety gloves, for example).
● Do not stand under hanging loads.
● Immediately clean up any spilled liquids from the floor due to the risk of
falling!
3.3.7 Battery Safety
Batteries consist of active chemicals in a solid housing. Therefore, improper
handling can cause injury or property damage.
Risk of injury by improper handling!
● Do not attempt to reactivate low batteries by heating or other methods (risk
of explosion and cauterization).
● Do not attempt to recharge the batteries as this may cause leakage or
explosion.
● Do not throw batteries into open flames.
● Do not dismantle batteries.
● When replacing the battery/batteries, do not damage the electrical parts
