3.1
Forced ventilation (optional)
Forced ventilation (optional): Type of cooling IC 416 in accordance with EN / IEC 60034-6
Cooling that does not depend on the speed is achieved by means of a unit that is
independent of the motor operating state (forced ventilation). This unit is closed to the
outside by a fan cover. It has its own main drive with fan impeller which creates the cooling
air flow required for cooling the motor.
3.2
External fan units
IL and IL I series
The units are generally supplied ready for installation. The bearings are designed to be
maintenance-free for the service life of the units.
3.3
Degree of protection
The machine has a type of protection as stamped on the rating plate, and can be installed in
dusty or humid environments.
3.4
Certification
The external fans are certified in accordance with UL and CSA.

Preparing for use
4
Good planning and preparation of machine applications are essential in terms of keeping
installation simple and avoiding errors, ensuring safe operation, and allowing access to the
machine for servicing and corrective maintenance.
This chapter outlines what you need to consider when configuring your plant in relation to
this machine and the preparations you need to make before the machine is delivered.
4.1
Safety-related aspects to consider when configuring the plant
A number of residual risks are associated with the machine. These are described in the
chapter titled "Safety information" and in related sections.
Take appropriate safety precautions (covers, barriers, markings, etc.) to ensure the machine
is operated safely within your plant.
4.2
Observing the operating mode
Observe the machine's operating mode. Use a suitable control system to prevent
overspeeds, thus protecting the machine from damage.
4.3
Delivery
Checking the delivery for completeness
The drive systems are put together on an individual basis. When you take receipt of the
delivery, please check immediately whether the items delivered are in accordance with the
accompanying documents. Siemens will not accept any claims relating to items missing from
the delivery and which are submitted at a later date.
●Report any apparent transport damage to the delivery agent immediately.
●Report any apparent defects/missing components to the appropriate SIEMENS office
immediately.
Archive the safety and commissioning notes provided in the scope of delivery as well as the
optionally available operating instructions so that these documents are always easily
accessible.
The rating plate optionally enclosed as a loose item with the delivery is provided to enable
the motor data to be attached on or near the machine or installation.

When carrying out any work on the machine, observe the general safety instructions and the
specifications contained in EN 50110-1 regarding safe operation of electrical equipment.
5.1
Ventilation
WARNING
Overheating and failure of the motor
Death, severe injury or material damage can occur if you do not carefully observe the
following points.
•Do not obstruct ventilation.
•Prevent the air expelled by neighboring equipment from being immediately sucked in
again.
•For machines with a vertical type construction with air entry from above, prevent the
ingress of foreign bodies and water in the air entry openings (standard IEC / EN 60079-
0).
•If the shaft extension is facing upwards, liquid must be prevented from entering by
moving along the shaft.
WARNING
Damage caused by small parts falling in
Material damage and injury can occur if the fan is destroyed and therefore the motor
overheats.
•
For types of construction with the shaft extension facing downwards, prevent small parts
from falling into the fan cover by providing suitable covers (standard IEC / EN 60079-0).
•Prevent the cooling airflow from being reduced as a result of covers that might be in
place.

5.2
Preparing for installation
5.2.1
Requirements for installation
The following requirements must be satisfied prior to starting installation work:
●Staff have access to the operating and installation instructions.
●The machine is unpacked and ready for mounting at the installation location.
Note
Measure the insulation resistance of the winding before starting installation work
Wherever possible, measure the insulation resistance of the winding before starting
installation work. If the insulation resistance lies below the specified value, take
appropriate reme
dial measures. These remedial measures may necessitate the machine
being removed again and transported.
Note
Note also the technical data on the rating plates on the motor enclosure.
NOTICE
Damage to the motor
To avoid material damage, before commissioning, check whether the correct direction of
rotation of the machine has been set on the customer side, e.g. by decoupling from the
driven load.
5.2.2
Notes regarding installation
NOTICE
Damage during installation
Avoid unbalance in order to prevent negative effects on the service life.
Prior to installation, ensure that the fan impeller rotates freely and that the impeller blades
do not become deformed or bent.
5.3
Installing protective cover
Installing protective cover
●Loosen the flange screws (Instar screws)
●Slide in the mounting brackets
●Retighten the flange screws.

DANGER
Hazardous voltages
Death, injury or material damage can occur. Note the following safety information before
connecting-up the machine:
•Only qualified and trained personnel should carry out work on the machine while it is
stationary.
•Disconnect the machine from the power supply and take measures to prevent it being
reconnected. This also applies to auxiliary circuits.
•Check that the machine really is in a no-voltage condition.
•Establish a safe protective conductor connection before starting any work.
•If the incoming power supply system displays any deviations from the rated values in
terms of voltage, frequency, curve form or symmetry, such deviations will increase the
temperature and influence electromagnetic compatibility.
•Operating the machine on a line supply system with a non-
grounded neutral point is only
permitted over short time intervals that occur rarely, e.g. the time leading to a fault being
eliminated (ground fault of a cable, EN 60034-1).
Circuit diagram
The electrical connection should be performed according to the circuit diagram based on the
operating mode (single-phase or three-phase).
