RCs)SAFETY FIRST
PITTS e Ligh votage and rotating pars can cause serious or fatal injury.
Safe installation, operation and maintenance must be performed by
qualified personnel. Familrization with, and adherence to, NEMA MG2, the National
Electrical Code (NEC), and local codes is required. It is important to observe safety
precautions fo protect personnel from possible injury.
PERSONNEL SHOULD BE INSTRUCTED TO:
1. _ Be familiar withthe equipment and read al instructions thoroughly before instalng or working
‘on equipment.
Avoid conact wth energized cirais or rotating part.
Disconnect al power sources before iitating any maintenance or rep.
‘Act with cae in aocordance with presrbed procedures in handing and lng this equipment
Be sure untis electrically grounded in aoordance wit code requirements
Be sure equipment is properly enclosed or protected to prevent access by cidren or ther
unauthorized personnel to prevent possible accidents
7. Be sure shaft key is uly captive before units energized.
8. Avoid contact with capacitors uni safe discharge procedures have been completed
9, Provide proper guarding for personne! aginst rotating parts and applications invoking high
inertia loads which can cause overspeed
410. Avoid extended exposure to equipment with high noise levels
INSPECTION AND HANDLING
Inspect unit to make sure no damage has occured during shipment. Check nameplate for corect
speed, horsepower, voltage, hertz and phase for conformance with power supply and equipment.
Units shouldbe lied using all eyebolts or gs if provided. These
AWARNING} eyeboits or lugs are provided for iting this unit only and must not
be used to ft any additional weight. Lifting angle, from shank of eyebolt, must not exceed
‘30 degrees for machines with single and 45 degrees for machines with multiple lifting means.
Replacement eyebolts must be per ASTM A489 or equivalent. All eyebolts must be securely
tightened Be careful not fo touch overhead powerlines wit iting equipment. Faure fo
observe this wamng may result in serious personal nur
STORAGE
Units shoud be stored indoors, in clean, dry location & winding shouldbe protected from exces-
sive moisture absorption, NOTE: If motors ae tobe stored for over one year, refer to Nidec Motor
Corporation (NMC). I motors are tobe stored for over one year and if gear and bet transmission
units ae tobe stored for over six mnths, refer to Nidec Motor Corporation.

should be located in a clean, well-ventilated area, Units should be located in a suitable
enclosure or protected to prevent access by children or other unauthorized personnel to
prevent possible accidents.

Mount unit ona fim, fat surface sufcientl rgd to prevent vioraton, Drive belts and chains should
bbe tensioned in accordance with supplier recommendations. Couplings should be property aligned
‘and balanced. For belt, chain and gear drive selection refer to the drive or equipment manufactur-
er. For application of drive equipment refer to applicable information in NEMA M1.
Motors have been dynamically balanced using a half Key the same length asthe fl key shipped

of excess length between pulley and end of key to maintain balance.
Do not restrict motor ventlafon. Unless otherwise spectied on nameplate, motor is designed for
operation in aocordance with NEMA MGt “Usual Service Conditions’ which states an ambient tem
perature range of 15° C to 40°C (5° F to 104° F). Standard grease lubricated units are suitable for
‘operation wii hs temperature range. Special lubricants may be required for ambient temperatures
culsideof this range. Note: Motors operating underrated load and alowable ambient conditions may
feel hot when touched; his is normal and should not be cause for concer. When in doubt, measure
frame surface temperature and confer wit nearest ofice Enclosed motors normaly have conden-
sation drain openings. Insure that drain operings are propery located and open (plugs removed) for
the motor mounting poston. Drain openings should be at lowest point of end brackets, ame hous-
ing and terminal housing when the motor is instaled. This may require modification of motor to
‘accomplish. If unit appears wet, andlor has been stored in a damp location, dry out thoroughly and
check for adequate insulation resistance to ground before operating,
Guards should be provided for all exposed rotating parts to

POWER SUPPLY AND CONNECTIONS
The power supply must agree wih values on nameplate, Terminal voltage should not vary more
than #10% of nameplate volage at rated frequency. Unbalanced line voltage, greater than one per-
cent, can cause overheating, Do not exceed the ratedioad amperes onthe nameplate. Stating con-
trols and overoad protecton should be properly sized in accordance with the NEC andthe control
manufacturer's recommendations.
Motor connections shoul be made by folowing instructions on connection ciagram. Determine drec-

USE OF VARIABLE FREQUENCY DRIVES
Elecic motors can be detimentallyafeted when applied with variable fequency dives (VFD').
The non-sinusoidal waveforms of VFD's have harmonic content which causes additonal motor
heating: and high voltage peaks,
