Safety
3.2 Special safety instructions for AM8100
The safety instructions are designed to avert danger and must be followed during installation,
commissioning, production, troubleshooting, maintenance and trial or test assemblies.
The servomotors of the AM8100 series are not designed for stand­alone operation and are always installed
in a machine or system. After installation the additional documentation and safety instructions provided by
the machine manufacturer must be read and followed.
WARNING
Serious risk of injury through high electrical voltage!
• Never open the servomotor when it is live. Opening the device would invalidate any
warranty and liability claims against Beckhoff Automation GmbH.
• It must be ensured that the protective conductor has been firmly connected.
• The machine manufacturer must prepare a hazard analysis for the machine, and must
take appropriate measures to ensure that unexpected movements cannot lead to injury
to persons or to objects.
• Before working on the AM8100 the servomotor must be disconnected from the servo
terminal and secured against switching on again.
WARNING
Serious risk of injury through hot surfaces!
• The surface temperature may exceed 100 °C, resulting in a risk of burns.
• Avoid touching the housing during or shortly after operation.
• Leave the servomotor to cool down for at least 15 minutes after it is switched off.
• Use a thermometer to check whether the surface has cooled down sufficiently.
Attention
Danger for persons, the environment or equipment
• Carefully read this manual before using the servomotor thoroughly, paying particular at­
tention to the safety instructions. In the event of any uncertainties please notify your
sales office immediately and refrain from working on the servomotor.
• Only well trained, qualified electricians with sound knowledge of drive equipment may
work on the device.
• During installation it is essential to ensure that the specified ventilation clearances and
climatic conditions are adhered to. Further information can be found in the Technical
data [
} 27] and Mechanical installation [ } 19] sections.
• If a servomotor is installed in a machine it must not be commissioned until proof of com­
pliance of the machine with the latest version of the EC Machinery Directive has been
provided. This includes all relevant harmonised standards and regulations required for
implementation of this Directive in national legislation.
