Light barriers need to be installed so that the risk zone cannot be crossed from behind. If
this cannot be guaranteed, further safety devices must be installed.
During all phases of the work it must be possible to check control of the machine electrically,
so that a dangerous machine movement can be averted immediately.
The safety distance between the risk zone and the light field need to be sufficient to ensure
that a dangerous machine movement is interrupted, before a person can reach the risk
zone.
Mechanical and electrical installations need to be carried out by trained and qualified per-
sonnel.
Installation and commissioning of the equipment need to be carried out by trained and
qualified personnel.
Repairs, especially those concerning optics and circuit cards, must only be carried out by
