Introduction
The PD4-E-M is a brushless motor with integrated controller in protection class
IP65. The integrated absolute encoder makes immediate operation possible in
closed loop mode without homing.
This instruction describes the installation and commissioning of the motor. You
can find the detailed documentation for the product and motor data sheets on
us.nanotec.com. The short instructions do not replace the technical manual of
the motor.

Safety and warning notices
NOTICE
Damage to the controller!
Changing the wiring during operation may damage the
controller.
►Only change the wiring in a de-energized state. After
switching off, wait until the capacitors have discharged.
NOTICE
Damage to the controller due to excitation voltage of the
motor!
Voltage peaks during operation may damage the controller.
►Install suitable circuits (e. g., charging capacitor) that reduce
voltage peaks.
NOTICE
Damage to the electronics through improper handling of
ESD-sensitive components!
The device contains components that are sensitive to
electrostatic discharge. Improper handling can damage the
device.
►Observe the basic principles of ESD protection when
handling the device.
NOTICE
Damage to the electronics if the supply voltage is
connected with reversed polarity!
Polarity reversal results in a short-circuit between supply
voltage and GND (earth) via the power diode.
►Install a line protection device (fuse) in the supply line.

Protection circuit Overvoltage and undervoltage protection
Overtemperature protection (> 68° Celsius on rear
cover)
Polarity reversal protection: In the event of a polarity
reversal, a short-circuit will occur between supply
voltage and GND over a power diode; a line protection
device (fuse) is therefore necessary in the supply
line. The values of the fuse are dependent on the
application and must be dimensioned
• greater than the maximum current consumption
of the controller,
• less than the maximum current of the voltage
supply.
If the fuse value is very close to the maximum current
consumption of the controller, a medium / slow
tripping characteristics should be used.

Overtemperature protection
Above a temperature of approx. 75°C on the power board (corresponds to 65–
72°C outside on the back cover), the power part of the controller switches off
and the error bit is set After cooling down and confirming the error , the controller
again functions normally.
LED signaling
Power LED
The power LED indicates the current status.
Normal operation
In normal operation, the green power LED L1 flashes briefly once per second.
Case of an error
If an error has occurred, the LED turns red and signals an error number.
The following table shows the meaning of the error numbers.
