Safety rules and general precautions
The
RADIOSAFE (RS)
“wireless safety logic signal transmission system”
is considered as a control and a safety
component ensuring an emergency stopping function under the terms of the European Machinery Directive. The following safety
rules apply to installation and use of the Radiosafe (RS) system.
For maximum safety when using the system, the instructions given in this manual must be strictly observed.
Radiosafe (RS) system operators must be appropriately trained and authorised to use the product.
Radiosafe (RS) system operators must have uninterrupted visibility at all times when performing manoeuvres.
Where several systems are implemented on a single site, different radio frequencies must be used. These should be
spaced by at least 2 channels (for example, channel
s 5, 7, 9, …) or by 5 channels when several systems are
operating within a radius of 10 meters.
Please contact us for the case of dense installations.
It is not advisable to install the safety transmitter
RSEF
and safety receiver
RSRD
in the same cabinet to prevent
disruption of the receiver. If need to install these two elements in the vicinity, please contact us.
In the event of a malfunction, the installation should be immediately shut down by pressing any emergency stop
palmswitch and particulary that connected to the safety transmitter
RSEF
.
If an
enabling handle
is used for the application, this device must comply with the requirements of EN 60947-5-
1:2004/A1:2009, EN ISO12100 and EN 60204-1:2016 standards.
All
emergency stop plamswitches
used for the application, must comply with the requirements of EN 60947-5-
1:2004/A1:2009 and EN 60204-1:2016 standards
The product described in this manual is designed to satisfy the requirements of Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC based on
