General safety notes
The profiling system has been designed in a way that allows for safe operation. Protective
devices reduce potential risks to the maximum possible extent. However, a certain level of
risk will always remain.
Awareness of potential hazardous points in the system will help you to work in a safer
manner and thus prevent accidents.
To avoid risks, please also observe the special warnings in each of the individual
chapters.
WARNING
Safety notes
Observe the following to ensure the safe use of the profiling system as intended.
•
The notes in these operating instructions (e.g., regarding use, mounting, installation,
or integration into the machine controller) must be observed.
•
All official and statutory regulations governing the operation of the profiling system
must be complied with.
•
National and international legal specifications apply to the installation and use of the
profiling system, to its commissioning, and to recurring technical inspections, in
particular:
– Work safety regulations and safety rules
– Any other relevant safety provisions
•
The checks must be carried out by qualified safety personnel or specially qualified and
authorized personnel, and must be recorded and documented to ensure that the tests
can be reconstructed and retraced at any time.
•
These operating instructions must be made available to the operator of the system in
which the profiling system is used.
•
The operator of the profiling system must be instructed by qualified safety personnel
and must read the operating instructions.
WARNING
Risk resulting from improper operation
Improper installation and commissioning, damaged components, and unsuitable ambient
conditions such as excessively cold or warm temperatures and high levels of dust, fog or
spray, may cause faults and faulty alarms and may result in a complete system crash.
WARNING
System does not comply with safety standards
The profiling system is not suitable for the protection of humans within the meaning of
the applicable safety standards for machines. The system therefore does not comply with
safety standards.
WARNING
