IMPORTANT NOTICE
THE IMS 100 MUST BE USED IN CONJUNCTION WITH A DOOR PROTECTION SYSTEM (E.G.
LIGHT CURTAIN, MECHANICAL EDGE, ETC.). WHEN THE IMS 100 IS USED WITH THESE DEVICES,
IT IS THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE INSTALLER TO ENSURE THAT, ON COMPLETION, THE
INSTALLATION COMPLIES WITH ALL THE RELEVANT CODES AND REGULATIONS THAT
PERTAIN TO INFRARED AND PHOTOELECTRIC DOOR PROTECTION DEVICES!
FAIL SAFE OPERATION:
BECAUSE DOOR SYSTEM DESIGNS ARE NOT INHERENTLY FAIL SAFE, THERE ARE RARE
SITUATIONS WHEN DOORS CAN CLOSE, EVEN WITH AN OBSTACLE OR PERSON PRESENT.
THEREFORE, THERE MUST BE, BY CODE, OTHER SAFETY MEANS TO PREVENT PASSENGERS
FROM BEING HURT BY THE ELEVATOR DOORS. DANGEROUS SITUATIONS, SUCH AS
DESCRIBED, SHOULD BE DETECTED BY THE ELEVATOR CONTROL SYSTEM, WHICH, IN TURN,
SHOULD CAUSE THE ELEVATOR TO BE TAKEN OUT OF SERVICE.
IN GENERAL, DOOR PROTECTION SYSTEMS CANNOT PROVIDE ABSOLUTE SAFETY FOR
ELEVATOR PASSENGERS PASSING THROUGH THE DOORWAY. THEY CANNOT BE USED AS
FAIL-SAFE DEVICES OF THE DOOR MECHANISM. THIS SAFETY FUNCTION MUST BE PROVIDED
BY A FAIL-SAFE FORCE AND KINETIC ENERGY LIMITER.
DO NOT USE THIS PRODUCT FOR THE PROTECTION OF DANGEROUS MACHINERY OR IN
EXPLOSIVE ATMOSPHERES OR RADIOACTIVE ENVIRONMENTS! USE ONLY SPECIFIC AND
APPROVED TYPES OF SAFETY DEVICES FOR SUCH APPLICATIONS, OTHERWISE SERIOUS
INJURY OR DEATH OF PERSONNEL MAY OCCUR!
WARNING
DOOR SENSOR DEVICES CAN ONLY ACHIEVE THEIR GIVEN FUNCTION, IF THE INSTRUCTIONS
GIVEN IN THIS INSTRUCTION MANUAL AND THE DOCUMENTS MENTIONED WITHIN ARE
FOLLOWED EXACTLY, AS WELL AS COMPLYING WITH APPLICABLE CODES AND
REGULATIONS AT THE TIME OF INSTALLATION.
THE INSTALLER AND/OR SYSTEM INTEGRATOR IS FULLY RESPONSIBLE FOR THE SAFE
INSTALLATION AND INTEGRATION OF THIS PRODUCT.
THIS INSTRUCTION MANUAL MUST BE KEPT ACCESSIBLE TOGETHER WITH THE OTHER
ELEVATOR DOCUMENTATION DURING ITS ENTIRE LIFE CYCLE FOR ALL PERSONNEL
RESPONSIBLE FOR ASSEMBLY, INSTALLATION, OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE.
