2.1
Correct Use
The ATD 50 Actuator
®
is designed for operating automatic doors on machine tools
and industrial equipment. It is intended to automatically open and close doors,
detect obstructions, and hold the door when closed. Vertical doors must be
installed using a counter-weight system since the ATD 50 Actuator
®
is not intended
to lift or hold the weight of a door.
Any other use for the ATD 50 Actuator
®
is the judgement and risk of the installer.
The brake on the ATD 50 Actuator
®
is intended to help prevent
accidental opening of the door. The brake is not an absolute
positive lock and can be overcome by a strong pull of the door.
The machine designer and/or installer must decide if additional
positive latches are required to insure proper machine safety.
Use the ATD 50 Actuator
®
system only when it is operating properly and as
designed. Any problems or malfunctions should be repaired immediately. The
safety systems of the ATD 50 Actuator
®
unit depend upon correct operation.
2.2
Design and Installation Personnel Requirements
The design and installation of the guard door system, including the ATD 50
Actuator
®

technical practices.
2.3
