1. Usage
WARNING
The MELIPM series motor is a synchronous motor with high-performance magnets built in
its rotor. Therefore, after the drive unit is powered off, there are high voltages at the motor
terminals while the motor is running. Before starting wiring or maintenance and inspection,
make sure that the motor has stopped. In any application where the motor is rotated by a
load such as a fan or blower, connect a low-voltage manual switch on the drive unit's
output side, open the switch, and start wiring or maintenance and inspection. Not doing so
can cause an electric shock.
Never disassemble or modify the unit. Doing so can cause an electric shock, fire or injury.
Do not use the unit with any load other than the specified motor. Doing so can cause a fire
or injury.
Provide safety devices for the whole system, e.g. emergency brakes, to ensure that the
machine or device is not placed in hazardous conditions when the drive unit fails.
CAUTION
If a holding brake is required, prepare it separately. The brake function of the drive unit
cannot keep holding the load. Injury may result.
Before operating the drive unit which had been stored for an extended period of time,
perform inspection and test operation on the unit before using. Not doing so may cause
accidents.
2. Transportation
CAUTION
Do not stack the drive unit boxes higher than the number indicated on the package. Doing
so can cause injury.
Confirm the weight before carrying the drive unit. Not doing so can cause injury.
When carrying the drive unit, do not exert a force partially, i.e. do not hold the front cover
operation panel. Doing so can cause the unit to drop, leading to injury.
The drive unit is precision piece of equipment. Do not drop it or subject it to impact, this
may damage the drive unit.
3. Installation
CAUTION
Do not install or operate the drive unit if it is damaged or has parts missing. Such
installation or operation can cause accidents.
Always install the drive unit in the specified orientation and environment. Not doing so can
cause a fire or accidents.
Install the drive unit on an incombustible material such as metal. Not doing so can cause a
fire.
Do not place combustible materials nearby. Doing so can cause a fire.
Install the drive unit in a load-bearing place. Not doing so can cause accidents.
Prevent screws, metal pieces or other conductive foreign matter, or wood scrap, oil or
other flammable foreign matter from entering the drive unit. They can cause a fire or
accidents.
