Safety precautions

The precautions described below are intended to prevent danger or
injury to the user and other personnel through safe, correct use of the
product. Use the product only after carefully reading and fully
understanding these instructions.

Note

Handling the product without observing the
instructions that accompany a “Warning” symbol may
result in serious injury or death.

Handling the product without observing the
instructions that accompany a “Caution” symbol may
result in injury or property damage.

The items under this heading contain important
handling instructions that the user should observe to
ensure safe use of the product.

 Do not use the product in explosive or corrosive environments,

in the presence of flammable gases, in water, or near
combustibles. Doing so may result in fire, electric shock or
injury.

 Assign qualified personnel the task of installing, wiring,

operating/controlling, inspecting and troubleshooting the
product. Failure to do so may result in fire, electric shock or
injury.

 Do not transport, install the product, perform connections or

inspections when the power is on. Always turn the power off
before carrying out these operations. Failure to do so may
result in electric shock.

 Turn off the power in the event the overheat protection device

(thermal protector) is triggered. Failure to do so may result in
injury or damage to equipment, since the motor will start
abruptly when the overheat protection device (thermal
protector) is automatically reset.

 To prevent the risk of electric shock, use the motor for class I

equipment only.
Motore zur Verwendung in Geräten der Schutzklasse I.

 When installing the motor, ground the motor using a protective

grounding wire. Failure to do so may result in electric shock.

Erden Sie den Motor bei der Installation mit einem
Schutzerdungskabel. Nichtbeachtung dieses Hinweises könnte einen
elektrischen Schlag verursachen.

 If the product is used in a place where it may come in contact

with water during operation, provide an earth leakage breaker.
Failure to do so may result in electric shock.

 Keep the input-power voltage within the specification to avoid

fire and electric shock.

 Connect the cables securely according to the wiring diagram in

order to prevent fire and electric shock.

 Do not forcibly bend, pull or pinch the cables. Doing so may

result in fire and electric shock.

 Be sure to insulate the connection terminal of the capacitor.

Failure to do so may result in electric shock.

 Turn off the power in the event of a power failure, or the motor

will suddenly start when the power is restored and may cause
injury or damage to equipment.

 Do not touch the connection terminal of the capacitor

immediately after the power is turned off (for a period of 30
seconds). The residual voltage may cause electric shock.

 Do not disassemble or modify the motor. This may cause

electric shock or injury.

 Do not use the motor beyond its specifications, or electric

shock, injury or damage to equipment may result.

 Do not touch the motor during operation or immediately after

stopping. The surface is hot and may cause a burn.

 Do not hold the motor output shaft or motor cable. This may

cause injury.

 Keep the area around the motor free of combustible materials

in order to prevent fire or a burn.

1

To prevent the risk of damage to equipment, leave nothing



around the motor that would obstruct ventilation.

 To prevent bodily injury, do not touch the rotating parts (output

shaft) of the motor during operation.

 When an abnormality is noted, turn off the power immediately,

or fire, electric shock or injury may occur.

 The motor’s surface temperature may exceed

70 °C, even under normal operating conditions.
If a motor is accessible during operation, post
the warning label shown in the figure in a
conspicuous position to prevent the risk of

Warning label

burns.

 To dispose of the motor, disassemble it into parts and

components as much as possible and dispose of individual
parts/components as industrial waste.

 Attaching Load

To shaft of the gearhead has been machined to an outer diameter
tolerance of h7 and is provided with a key slot for connecting the
transmission parts. When connecting the transmission parts, ensure that
the shaft and parts have a clearance fit, and always fix the parallel key to
the output shaft with a screw to prevent the parts from rattling or
spinning.

Note

Do not use excessive force, or hammer the transmission parts
onto the gearmotor shaft as damage may occur.

 Mounting the capacitor (only for single-phase motors)

Before mounting the provided capacitor, check
that the capacitor’s capacitance matches that
stated on the motor’s name plate.
Mount the capacitor securely by using M4
screws (not provided).

Ø4.3 mm
(0.169 in.)

Note

 Do not let the screw fastening torque exceed 1 N·m (8.8 lb-in)

to prevent damage to the mounting foot.

 Mount capacitor at least 10 cm (3.94 in.) away from the

motor. If it is located closer, the life of the capacitor will be
shortened.

Connection and operation

Insulate all the wire connections, such as the connection between the
motor and the capacitor connection.
Ground the motor using a protective grounding wire.

Note

 When removing the sheath of the cable, be careful not to

damage the inside lead wire.

 Insulation class of this motor is B. Make sure that the motor

case temperature does not exceed 90 °C (194 °F) during
operation of the motor. Operation exceeding case
temperature 90 °C (194 °F) may significantly deteriorate the
coils and ball bearings of the motor and shorten the motor’s
life span. Motor case temperature can be measured by fixing
a thermometer on the motor surface. It can also be
measured using thermo tape or a thermocouple.

 To change rotation direction of the single-phase motor, wait

until the motor completely stops. Otherwise its direction may
not change or may take much time to change.

 Single-phase motors use a capacitor and keep it connected

even after rotation of the motor has started.

 Be sure not to splash water on the cable terminal, otherwise

water could seep inside the motor through the lead wire or
the fabric covering.

Time rating

This motor can be operated continuously (continuous rating).

Locked rotor burnout protection

This motor is equipped with the feature listed below to prevent the
motor from burning out as a result of abnormal heating which may be
caused by misapplication.

 Thermal protection

“TP” is stamped on the motor nameplate. The motor has an “auto reset”
type thermal protector built into its motor coil. When the motor reaches
a predetermined temperature, the internal thermal protector is activated
and the motor is stopped.
Always turn the power off before performing inspections.

Thermal protector activation range:

Power is turned off at 130±5 °C (266±9 °F)
Power is turned back on at 82±15 °C (180±27 °F)
