General Safety Instructions
- ▶The system must not be installed or operated in potentially explosive areas.
Crushing, shearing, scraping, pulling in or impact injuries of body parts may occur.
- ▶Never reach into the area containing moving rollers or machine components.
- ▶Do not wear necklaces, scarves or similar near moving rollers/machine components.
- ▶Never stay within the swivel/movement range of moving machine components or reach into these areas.
- ▶Prior to set-up/operation of the system, ensure that no persons are in the operating range of moving machine components.
Fatal injuries due to incomplete shut-down or residual currents.
- ▶If insulation defects or defects on live components occur, immediately shut down the power supply and have the system repaired by a qualified electrician.
- ▶Completely switch off the system, disconnect it from the power supply and wait for ten minutes before carrying out any maintenance, repair, cleaning or assembly work.
- ▶Secure the system against being switched on again.
Severe cutting injuries caused by the edges of the moving material web.
- ▶Never touch the edges of moving material webs.
Body parts could be crushed, sheared or impacted.
- ▶Never reach into the positioning range of the sensor slides.
- ▶Prior to set-up/operation, ensure that no persons are in the positioning range of the sensor slides.
There is a danger of crushing during the sensor slide movement, in particular when reaching into the hazard zones identified below.
The operator must ensure that suitable protective devices are installed to prevent reaching into the positioning range of the sensor slides.
The remote-controlled movement of the sensor slides may push persons off elevated locations (e.g. ladders or platforms). This can lead to serious injuries or death.
- ▶Only remain near the sensor positioner if you are in a safe location or the sensor positioner has been disconnected from the power supply.
Stepping/climbing onto components (e.g. traverse bars or camera housing) can lead to life-threatening falling accidents and to the destruction of the components.
- ▶Never climb or step onto components.
Severe injuries may occur, if no Emergency Stop device (Emergency Stop button) is installed on the overall machine line. Only an Emergency Stop device permits an immediate stop of the machine line in emergencies. It is not permitted to operate the overall machine line without an Emergency Stop device.
- ▶If one is not already installed, have an Emergency Stop button and Emergency Stop systems installed by the owner/user/machine manufacturer prior to using the machine line.
- ▶Prior to starting work, familiarize yourself with the Emergency Stop and rescue devices of the overall machine line, e.g. Emergency Stop button.
- ▶Prior to starting work, ensure that all safety regulations and instructions are observed.
Destruction/loss of capacity of electronic assembly elements caused by contact with electro-statically charged persons/objects.
- ▶Only open system components at ESD-compliant workplaces (according to 61340-5-1).
- ▶If there is no ESD-compliant workplace, take ESD protection measures (according to DIN EN 61340-5-1) to discharge electrostatic charges in a controlled manner.
- ▶When returning electronic assembly elements, adhere to DIN EN 100015 (“Protection of protection of electrostatic-sensitive devices”).
- ▶To transport electronic components, only use suitably marked, electrically conductive ESD packaging.
Moving the sensor slides by hand may lead to damage to the sensor slides.
- ▶Do not move the sensor slides by hand.
