If you want to operate an AX5000 in the USA or Canada, be sure to observe chapter 3.3.

Electrical installation 2:

Drive system with UL approval

Please consult our applications department with respect to the requirements for a drive system with UL approval.

DANGER

Serious risk of injury from electric shock

Due to the DC link capacitors dangerous voltage may persist at the DC link contacts DC+ and DC- after the servo drive has been disconnected from the supply network. Wait 15 minutes for the AX5160/AX5172, 30 minutes for the AX5190/AX5191 and 45 minutes for the AX5192/AX5193 after disconnecting and measure the voltage at the DC link contacts DC+ and DC-. The device is safe once the voltage has fallen below 50 V.

DANGER

Serious risk of injury from electric shock

Before installation, wiring and commissioning it is essential to read the chapter "Safety".

Before installing, uninstalling or wiring the servo drives and the motors please note the following:

  • Remove all relevant fuses in the supply network.
  • Switch off the main system switch and secure it with a lock.
  • Put up a warning sign.
  • The control and power connections for the motors may be live, even if the motor is prevented from rotating by the internal brake.

CAUTION

Destruction of the devices

Check the rated voltage and current of the servo drive and the connected motors.

Once the AX5000 has been disconnected from the supply network, (emergency shutdown, mains contactor etc.), wait at least 3 minutes before switching it on again or query the status of IDN "P-0-0205" (see "IDN description" in the documentation).
