Electrical installation

UL approval

If you intend to operate an AX5000 in a region that requires UL approval, please refer to the chapter "Guidelines and Standards".

Caution - Risk of injury!

• The servo drives may only be installed by trained, qualified personnel. The qualified personnel must know and comply with the national accident prevention regulations.
• Safety boots must be worn.

Caution – Risk of injury through electric shock!

De-energize all electrical components (servo drive, control cabinet, etc.) before commencing the installation or deinstallation.

Serious risk of injury through electric shock!

Due to the DC link capacitors dangerous voltage may persist at the DC link contacts "X02" after the servo drive has been disconnected from the mains supply. Wait 5 minutes after disconnection and measure the voltage on the DC link contacts DC+ and DC-. The device is safe once the voltage has fallen below 50 V.

Caution – Risk of injury through electric shock!

• Before installation, wiring and commissioning it is essential to read the section on "Safety".
• Before installing, uninstalling or connecting the servo drive and the motors please note the following: - Remove all relevant mains fuses. - 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.

Destruction of the AX5000!

• Check the rated voltage and current of the servo drive and the connected motors.
• Once the AX5000 has been disconnected from the mains supply, (emergency off, 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).
