AKD Safety Guide | 1 English
Observe electrostatically sensitive components!
The drives contain electrostatically sensitive components which may be damaged by incor-
rect handling. Electrostatically discharge your body before touching the drive. Avoid contact
with highly insulating materials (artificial fabrics, plastic film etc.). Place the drive on a con-
ductive surface.
Hot surface!
Drives may have hot surfaces during operation. The heat sink can reach temperatures above
80°C. Risk of minor burns! Measure the temperature, and wait until the heat sink has cooled
down below 40 °C before touching it.
Earthing!
It is vital that you ensure that the drive is safely earthed to the PE (protective earth) busbar in
the switch cabinet. Risk of electric shock. Without low-resistance earthing no personal pro-
tection can be guaranteed.
High voltages!
The equipment produces high electric voltages up to 900V. Risk of electric shock. Do not
open or touch the equipment during operation. Keep all covers and cabinet doors closed.
During operation, drives may have uncovered live sections, according to their level of enclos-
ure protection. Wait at least seven minutes after disconnecting the drive from the main sup-
ply power before touching potentially live sections of the equipment (such as contacts) or
removing any connections.
Capacitors can have dangerous voltages present up to seven minutes after switching off the
supply power. Always measure the voltage in the DC bus link and wait until the voltage is
below 50 V before handling components.
Never undo any electrical connections to the drive while it is live. There is a danger of elec-
trical arcing with damage to contacts and personal injury.
Reinforced Insulation
Thermal sensors, motor holding brakes and feedback systems built into the connected motor
must have reinforced insulation (according to IEC61800-5-1) against system components
with power voltage, according to the required application test voltage. All Kollmorgen com-
ponents meet these requirements.
Never modify the drive!
It is not allowed to modify the drive without permission by the manufacturer. Opening the
housing causes loss of warranty.
