2 Safety Instructions
The VDC-3-49.15-K4 and ECI-63.XX-K4 drive systems have been developed to the latest electronic and electrical engineering standards as
well as recognised guidelines for the safety and protection of users.
The drive systems may only be operated and serviced by authorised skilled personnel, who have read through and understood the complete
operating manual. The drive systems must be used with the necessary care, in compliance with all safety instructions described in this
operating manual and the local company-specific regulations.
Read all safety information and instructions and keep notices and the operating manual in the same place as the drive systems.
2.1 general safety instructions
• Before starting work, disconnect the drive system or the design application using suitable devices provided and secure it against being

• Before opening the units or entering the danger zone, safely bring all drives to a standstill and secure them against being switched back
on again.
• Do not make any changes, add attachments or make modifications to the drive system without ebm-papst's approval.
• If the motor is subjected to unapproved loads, check it for damage and if necessary repair or replace it.
• Do not commission or start up the design application until it has been fully checked for compliance with all relevant legal requirements,
