Inclinometer
Used only in bearing bridge confi gurations, the inclinometer is located on the twin mast
adapter and must
absolutely
be connected to the control panel. The inclinometer will
detect any ± 2-degree or ± 5-degree slope of the structure and the screen will display an
alert message to warn the operator and stop the operation. For more information on the
installation and use of a twin mast adapter, see p. 52 of the
Bridges
section. For more
information about alert messages, see p. 77 of the
Control Panel
section.

Safety Devices
Overspeed Safety Device
Every Hydro Mobile F2 Series motorized unit (models F200 and F300) is equipped with
two overspeed safety devices. This safety feature is designed to prevent the motorized
unit from falling and is triggered automatically. This device will immobilize the motorized
unit instantly.
The overspeed safety device is protected by two safety seals to guarantee the end user
that the safety device has not been tampered with or altered in any way by an unauthorized
person. Each manufactured safety seal is given a unique serial number which is kept
on record by Hydro Mobile. These seals can only be removed for recertifi cation of the
overspeed safety device by Hydro Mobile and will be replaced by new seals once the
recertifi cation is complete.
The overspeed safety device cannot be engaged on at will, except for inspection purposes
by a qualifi ed technician. Any other activation of the overspeed safety device must be
investigated by a qualifi ed technician. For the defi nition of a qualifi ed technician, refer to
p. 7 of the
Performance and Safety Rules
section.
WARNING
Once the overspeed safety device is engaged, all precautions must be taken to ensure the
safe return of all workers to the nearest evacuation point, according to the evacuation plan.
Operation of the motorized unit can only be resumed after a qualifi ed technician has inspected
the motorized unit and performed all the necessary actions to allow safe operation to resume.
In the event of an activation of an overspeed safety device, the operator must contact a
qualifi ed person. For the defi nition of a qualifi ed person, refer to p. 7 of the
Performance
and Safety Rules
section.
All precautions must be immediately taken to ensure the safe return of all workers to the
nearest evacuation point, according to the evacuation plan (see step 20 on p. 8 of the
Performance and Safety
section).
Once an overspeed safety device is engaged, the motorized unit will stop. The screen
on the control panel will display an alert and prevent operation until a qualifi ed technician
has inspected the motorized unit and performed all the necessary actions to allow safe
operation to resume.

Inspection and maintenance of an overspeed safety device
Each overspeed safety device must be inspected and tested following the appropriate
inspection schedule. For more information on inspection and maintenance schedules,
refer to p. 133 of the
Transport, Storage and Maintenance
section.
