1Important Safety Instructions
When using an EFKA drive and accompanying devices (e g
for sewing machines), basic safety precautions should always
be followed, including the following:
§Readall instructions thoroughlybefore using thisdrive.
§Drive, its accessories and accompanying devices should be
mounted and put into operation by qualified personnel in
accordance with the guidelines provided in the instruction
manual.
To reduce the risk of burns, fire, electric shock, or
personal injury:
§Use this drive only for its intended use as described in the
instruction manual.
§Use only attachments recommended by the manufacturer or
as contained in the instruction manual.
§Donot operatewithout corresponding protectivedevices.
§Never operate this drive if one or more parts (e. g. cables,
plugs) are damaged, if it is not working properly, if any
damages can be identified or are to be suspected (e. g. after
it has been dropped). Only qualified personnel are
authorized to make adjustments, eliminate faults and
complete repair work.
§Never operate the drive with the air openings blocked. Keep
ventilation openings of the drive free from the accumulation
of lint, dust and loose cloth.
§Never drop or insert any object into any opening.
§Donotusedriveoutdoors.
§Do not operate where aerosol (spray) products are being
used or where oxygen is being administered.
§To disconnect, turn off main switch, then remove plug from
outlet.
§Do not unplug by pulling on cord. To unplug, grasp the
plug, not the cord.
§Keep fingers away from all moving machine parts. Special
care is required e. g. around the sewing machine needle and
the V-belt.
§Before mounting and adjusting accompanying devices, i.e.
position transmitter, reversing device, light barrier, etc.,
disconnect drive from mains (turn off main switch, remove
mains plug from outlet [DIN VDE 0113 part 301; EN
60204-3-1; IEC 204-3-1]).
§Always switch off (0) machine and remove plug from outlet,
when removing covers, mounting accompanying devices,
position transmitter especially, light barrier, etc., or any
other devices mentioned in the instruction manual.
§Only qualified personnel are authorized to work on the
electricalcomponents.
§Work on high voltage circuit areas is forbidden, except as
stated in the respective regulations, e.g. DIN VDE 0105 part
1.
§Only specially trained personnel are authorized to complete
repair work.
§Cables to be wired must be protected against expectable
strain and fastened adequately.
§Cables near moving machine parts (e. g. V-belts) must be
wired ata aminimum distance of 25 mm (see DIN VDE
0113 part 301; EN 60204-3-1; IEC 204-3-1).
§For safety it is preferred to wire the cables separately from
eachother.
§Before connecting the mains line make sure that the mains
voltage corresponds to the specifications on the motor rating
plateand on thenameplate of the powerpack.
§Connect this drive to a properly grounded outlet only. See
Grounding Instructions.
§Electric accompanying devices and accessories must only be
connected to safety low voltage.
§EFKA DC drives are protected according to overvoltage
class 2 (DIN VDE 0160 § 5.3.1).
§Observe all safety guidelines before undertaking
conversions or modifications.
§For repair and maintenance use only original replacement
parts.
Warnings in the instruction manual which
point out particular risks of personal
injury or risk to the machine are marked
with this symbol wherever applicable.
This symbol is a warning on the control
and in the instruction manual. It indicates
hazardousvoltage.
CAUTION – In the case of failure this
area can be current-carrying even after
having turned the power off (non
dischargedcapacitors).
§The drive is not an independently operating unit, but is
designed to be incorporated into the machinery. It must not
be put into service until the machinery into which it is to be
incorporated has been declared in conformity with the
provisions of the EC Directive.
Save these instructions for future reference.
