Safety regulations

The responsible staff must ensure that the application or use of the products described satisfy all the requirements for safety, including all the relevant laws, regulations and guidelines.

DANGER

Caution - Danger of death!

Even when the AX5000 is disconnected from the mains voltage, dangerous voltage continues to be present at the "X02" terminals of the DC link for at least 5 minutes. Wait until the DC link capacitors are discharged before touching live terminals. The voltage measured between the DC+ and DC- terminals (X02) must have dropped to below 50 V.

WARNING

Caution - Risk of injury!

Electronic equipment is not fail-safe. The machine manufacturer is responsible for ensuring that the connected motors and the machine are brought into a safe state in the event of a fault in the drive system.

Notice

Caution – Destruction of the optional encoder card through electrostatic charging!

The optional encoder card is an ESD-sensitive component. Follow the usual ESD safety procedures when handling the card (anti-static wrist straps, earthing of the relevant components etc.).
