4.1
Manufacturer of the machine
The manufacturer of the machinery must carry out a risk assessment and apply appro‐
priate protective measures. Further protective measures may be required in addition to
the product.
The product must not be tampered with or changed, except for the procedures descri‐
bed in this document.
The product must only be repaired by the manufacturer of the product or by someone
authorized by the manufacturer. Improper repair can result in the product not providing
the expected protection.
Observe EN ISO 14119 for using interlocking devices associated with physical guards.
4.2
Operating entity of the machine
Changes to the electrical integration of the product in the machine controller and
changes to the mechanical mounting of the product necessitate a new risk assess‐
ment. The results of this risk assessment may require the entity operating the machine
to meet the obligations of a manufacturer.
After each change to the configuration, it is necessary to check whether the protective
measure provides the necessary protection. The person making the change is responsi‐
ble for ensuring that the protection measure provides the necessary protection.
The product must not be tampered with or changed, except for the procedures descri‐
bed in this document.
The product must not be repaired. Defective products must be replaced.
Restrict access to replacement actuators, so they cannot be used for bypassing.
