WARNING
Unexpected movement of machines caused by inactive safety functions
Inactive or non-adapted safety functions can trigger unexpected machine movements
that may result in serious injury or death.
•
Observe the information in the appropriate product documentation before
commissioning.
•
Carry out a safety inspection for functions relevant to safety on the entire system,
including all safety-related components.
•
Ensure that the safety functions used in your drives and automation tasks are
adjusted and activated through appropriate parameterizing.
•
Perform a function test.
•
Only put your plant into live operation once you have guaranteed that the functions
relevant to safety are running correctly.
Note
Important safety notices for Safety Integrated functions
If you want to use Safety Integrated functions, you must observe the safety notices in
the Safety Integrated manuals.
WARNING
Active implant malfunctions due to electromagnetic fields
Electromagnetic fields (EMF) are generated by the operation of electrical power
equipment, such as transformers, converters, or motors. People with pacemakers or
implants are at particular risk in the immediate vicinity of this equipment.
•
If you have a heart pacemaker or implant, maintain the minimum distance specified
in chapter "Correct usage" from such motors.
WARNING
Active implant malfunctions due to permanent-magnet fields
Even when switched off, electric motors with permanent magnets represent a potential
risk for persons with heart pacemakers or implants if they are close to
converters/motors.
•
If you have a heart pacemaker or implant, maintain the minimum distance specified
in chapter "Correct usage".
•
When transporting or storing permanent-magnet motors always use the original
packing materials with the warning labels attached.
•
Clearly mark the storage locations with the appropriate warning labels.
•
IATA regulations must be observed when transported by air.
