INSTALLATION/PREPARATION TO START
5.1.
Environment
The machine works inside a covered factory, with steady temperature, limitedly esposed to
dust and humidity.
Except for different specification in order established, the machine has been designed and
tested to regularly work in the environmental conditions reported below.
If the conditions are very unsteady, the means and characteristics of air-conditioning will have
to be fixed.
ALTITUDE
The altitude of the place where the machine will be installed have not to be higher than 1000
m from sea level.
TEMPERATURE
Minimum room temperature:
+10°C
Maximum room temperature:
+40°C
ATMOSPHERIC CONDITIONS
The electric equipment can correctly work in atmospheric conditions with relative humidity
not higher than 50% and temperature of 40°C, and at 90% with temperature not higher than
20°C (without condensate).
LIGHTING
The factory lighting system is considered very important for the safety of people and of work
quality. It is for the customer to know the standards regarding accident prevention and work
health in force in his country. These standards define the responsibilities of the work place
manager, who must guarantee a good efficiency of plants and consequently of machines.
In Italy this argument is regulated by a ministerial decree which clearly fix the average level
of prescribed lighting.
The lighting is measured in lux (1lux = 1lumen/mq).
Minimum necessary lighting: it has to guarantee the correct perception of symbols and marks
(from 300 to 500 lux).
Maximum lighting: it has to avoid the operator dazzling.
ATMOSPHERE WITH EXPLOSION AND/OR FIRE RISK
When machinery used in atmosphere with explosion and/or fire risk are is requested, the
necessary procedures must be previously agreed between the parties, in compliance with
regulations (CEI 62.2, CEE n° 89/392 + subsequent amendments).
The standard machine SE 40C is not arranged to work in environments with atmosphere with
explosion and/or fire risk.
The customer/user must absolutely specify, during negotiation, if the risk is present.
An environment different from the prescribed one can cause dangerous situation for people.
