Gearmotor/Motor Safety,Installation,Use, and
Maintenance Information - Hazardous Location
Thank you for selecting a gearmotor/motor from
Bodine Electric Company. With your new drive unit
you will find yourself enjoying the same high
performance and trouble free operation that has
been characteristic of Bodine products since 1905.
Bodine Electric Company prides itself on the
quality of design and manufacture of its products.
Great care is taken in an attempt to provide
products free of defects in workmanship, or
materials.
Safety
"The use of electric machines, like that of all
other utilization of concentrated power, is potentially
hazardous. The degree of hazard can be greatly
reduced by proper design, selection, installation,
and use, but hazards cannot be completely
eliminated. The reduction of hazard is the joint
responsibility of the user, the manufacturer of the
driven or driving equipment, and the manufacturer
of the machine".
Bodine products are designed and manufactured
to comply to applicable safety standards and, in
particular, to those issued by ANSI (American
National Standards Institute), NEMA (National
Electrical Manufacturers Association), and U.L.
(Underwriters Laboratories, Inc.).
Bodine products suitable for Hazardous
Locations Class I, Division 2, Groups A,B,C,D or
unclassified locations are U.L. Listed, file number
E474208. Bodine products suitable for Hazardous
Locations Class I, Division 1, Groups C and D are
U.L. Listed, file number E318315.
If you need specific information regarding the "third
party approval" of Bodine products, contact your
Bodine Representative, or the Corporate
Headquarters.
However, since even well built apparatus can be
installed or operated in a hazardous manner, it is
important that the users observe safety
considerations. With respect to the load and
environment, the user must properly select, install,
and use the apparatus—for guidance on all three
aspects see safety standards publication No.

Selection
Before proceeding with the installation, the user
should review the application to confirm that the
proper drive has been selected. This should be
done after reading this notice and all applicable
safety standards. If in doubt, contact your Bodine
Representative or the Corporate Headquarters if
there is no Representative in your area. Any
selection or application suggestions made by
Bodine or their Representatives are only to assist
the customer—and in all cases, determination of
fitness for purpose or use is solely the customer's
responsibility.
All nameplate ratings are based on the following
normal operating conditions :
1. Duty: 8 hours per day; 5 days per week if
nameplated continuous duty (CONT), without
frequent reversals or starts and stops.
2. Ambient temperature 0°C to 40°C, unless
otherwise noted on the product nameplate.
3. Load: Uniform and free from shock or high
inertia.
4. Voltage: Within 10% of nameplate rating.
5. Frequency: Within 5% of nameplate rating.
6. Combined variation of voltage and frequency—
Within a total of 10% providing frequency
variation does not exceed 5%.
Variations from the above conditions may be
hazardous.
Installation
It is the responsibility of the equipment
manufacturer or individual installing the apparatus
to take diligent care in installing it. The National
Electrical Code (NEC), sound local electrical and
safety codes, and when applicable, the
Occupational Safety and Health Act (OSHA) should
be followed when installing the apparatus to reduce
hazards to persons and property.
Inspection
Examine the apparatus for damage from
shipment before connecting. Any claim(s) for
shipping damage should be made to the freight
carrier. Do not attempt to turn the output shaft of a
gearmotor with an externally applied torque arm.
Paint thickness of .006 maximum does not apply to
published dimensional values.
Mounting
Any screws or similar devices, that penetrate
the motor frame either for mounting the Bodine
product or mounting something to the product,
should be limited in length so as not to come in
contact with, or in close proximity to, intended
features that conduct electricity.
Bodine stock products are designed for
universal horizontal mounting. Vertical mounting,
with gearhead above motor is not normally
recommended. Consult the factory for custom
mounting requirements.
Connection
Follow nameplate for voltage, frequency, and
phase of power supply. See accompanying wiring
diagram as to connections for rotation (and
capacitor, resistor, relay, protector, if required).
When connecting, make sure that your
motor/gearmotor is securely and adequately
grounded—failure to ground properly may cause
serious injury to personnel. Wiring diagrams are
available at:
www.bodine-electric.com
Wiring
For wire sizes and electrical connections refer to
the National Electrical Code (NEC), Article 430,
"Motors, Motor Circuits, and Controllers" and/or
applicable local area codes. Extension cords
should not be used.
Use
Additional Safety Considerations
The chance of electric shock, fires, or
explosions can be reduced by giving proper
consideration to the use of grounding, thermal and
over current protection, type of enclosure, and
good maintenance procedures.
The following information supplements the
foregoing safety considerations: This information is
not purported to be all-inclusive and the
aforementioned references should be consulted.
1. Bodine standard totally enclosed products for
Hazardous Location are certified for Class I,
flammable gases, flammable liquid-produced
vapors, or combustible liquid-produced vapors.
Division 1 certification is for an environment where
ignitable concentrations of flammable gases or
flammable liquid-produced vapors can exist under
normal operating conditions. Division 2 certification
is for an environment where ignitable
concentrations of flammable gases or flammable
liquid-produced vapors are not likely to exist under
normal operating conditions.
2. Enclosed motors/gearmotors for Hazardous
Location CID2 are suitable for dirty, damp locations
with an environmental rating of IP44 with 1/2" NPT
conduit installed per NEC specifications.
Motors/gearmotors for Hazardous Location CID1
have been tested by a third party to demonstrate
compliance with IP66.
3. Moisture will increase the electrical shock
hazard of electrical insulation. Therefore,
consideration should be given to the avoidance
of (or protection from) liquids in the area of
motors. Use of totally enclosed
motors/gearmotors will reduce the hazard if all
openings are sealed.
4. Motors/gearmotors that employ capacitors can
develop more than nameplate voltage across
the capacitor and/or capacitor winding
(depending on design). Suitable precautions
should be taken when applying such motors.
5. Do not rely upon self-locking gears or
permanent magnet, or energized motors to hold
a load in place if movement could result in
personal injury. Mechanical locking devices
should be used in such applications.
6. For motors driven by electronic controls, do not
use a function of the control for safety interlock
purposes. An independent switch or relay
should be used.
Before Starting
1. Before attempting to start, check all connections
and fuses.
2. Proper consideration should be given to rotating
members: Before starting, be sure keys,
pulleys, etc. are securely fastened. Proper
guards should be provided to prevent hazards
to personnel while rotating.
3. Other mechanical considerations include proper
mounting and alignment of products and safe
loads on shafting and gearing.
Starting
1.
The motor/gearmotor should be test-started in
an unloaded state (because of possible reaction
torque, the drive should be securely mounted
when starting—even when unloaded).
2.
If the drive unit does not start promptly and run
smoothly, disconnect immediately.
3.
If unable to correct the problem, contact your
purchase source, or a Bodine Authorized
Service Center, describing the trouble in detail.
Include the serial number, type, and other
nameplate data. Do not dismantle the
product—tampering or disassembly voids the
warranty.
Maintenance
IMPORTANT— Before servicing or working on
equipment, disconnect power source (this
applies especially to equipment using automatic
restart devices instead of manual restart devices
and when examining or replacing brushes on
brush-type motors/gearmotors).
Clean regularly to prevent dirt and dust from
interfering with ventilation or clogging moving
parts.
Products Employing Capacitors— Before
servicing motors/gearmotors employing
capacitors, always discharge the capacitor by
placing a conductor across its terminals before
touching the terminals with any part of your body.
Lubrication
All Bodine products are lubricated for life, and
do not require re-lubrication.
