ATEX Installations
If your motor has an ATEX rating for hazardous environments, complete the following step. The
catalog number on ATEX motor nameplates ends with H, for example MPL-
xxxxx-xxxxH.
Verify the continuity and functionality of the thermal switch signals, TS+ and TS-, transmitted
through the feedback cable that connects the motor to its controlling drive.
ATTENTION: It is mandatory that the motion system monitor the thermal switch signals from a motor
requiring an ATEX rating.
The intrinsic safety protection concepts in the ATEX Direction 94/9/EC must be enabled by connecting the
thermal switch signals from the motor to the motion control system.
