WARNING
The system administrator should select and train qualified persons to
be responsible for the correct installation, operation, and
maintenance of all machinery and protective devices.
The OS3101 should only be installed, checked out, and maintained
by a qualified person. A qualified person is defined by ANSI B30.2-
1983 as a person or persons who, by possession of a recognized
degree or certificate of professional training, or who, by extensive
knowledge, training and experience, has successfully demonstrated
the ability to solve problems relating to the subject matter and work.
Compliance with the safety standards for the OS3101's specific
application and installation is possible only when it is used, installed,
maintained, and operated safely. Each of these steps should be fully
confirmed by the customer who purchases the OS3101, the person or
persons who install it, and the employer of the operator of the
OS3101.
After the OS3101 parameters have been set, test the protective area
and warning area to confirm that they have been set correctly before
operating any hazardous parts of the machinery.
Do not try to disassemble the OS3101. Doing so may cause the safety
functions to stop working properly.
Be sure to observe the following conditions when using the OS3101.
•
The machine for which protection is being provided should be
capable of being stopped at any time within its operating cycle. Do
not use the OS3101 for presses that are equipped with a
full-revolution clutch.
•
The OS3101 cannot protect a person from an object flying from a
hazardous area. Install protective covers or fences.
•
The machine for which protection is being provided should be
stoppable within a constant length of time, and should be equipped
with appropriate control mechanisms.
•
The OS3101 is not capable of accurate detection in smoky or dusty
environments. Using the OS3101 in these environments may
cause the machine to suddenly stop.
•
Do not use mirror-like objects on surfaces in the protective area.
Their use may make it impossible to detect parts of the protective
area.
•
Comply with all laws and regulations of the country or region where
the OS3101 is used. This is the employer's responsibility.
•
Design all safety-related machine control elements so that a
hazardous condition will not result from control circuit failures or
similar problems.
•
Additional protective measures should be taken if it is possible for
a person to approach the hazardous area without being detected
by the OS3101.
•
Conduct the test described in the Instruction Manual when
installing the OS3101, when a change is made to the machine for
which protection is being provided, or when a change is made to
the OS3101 parameters.
•
Follow the procedures given in the Instruction Manual for tests and
repairs.
•
Be sure to thoroughly read the Instruction Manual and understand
the procedures for installation, operation, and maintenance before
use.
•
An additional tolerance for measurement error may be necessary
due to the type of background with which the OS3101 is used.
The employer is responsible for observing all requirements described
herein, as well as the procedures and requirements for each machine
and device that is used.
