GENERAL SAFETY
The user of an ABB robotic system has the final responsibility for the safety of
personnel working with the system. The safety procedures used should be a p-
propriate to the level of danger and risk associated with the particular install a-
tion. These safety procedures should include all of the precautions described
below and any additional safety measures appropriate to the particular insta l-
lation, including the shop or plant safety rules normally in effect .
The robot should be approached with the same caution as any other industrial
machine. Although ABB robots are designed for the greatest possible safety,
no machine is completely safe and it is impossible to entirely eliminate the h u-
man factor.
This robot was designed with safety in mind. It has a dedicated safety system
based on a two-channel circuit which is monitored continuously. If an error o c-
curs, the electrical power supplied to the motors shuts off and the brakes e n-
gage.
For additional information about robot safety, see American National Standard
for Industrial Robots and Robot Systems, ANSI/RIA R15.06-1992 .
WARNING! LOCK-OUT PROTECTION SHOULD BE USED
WHENEVER POWER IS NOT REQUIRED ON THE ROBOT SYS-
TEM!
