HS-105P Safety & Introduction
1-2 User Manual
Safety
Safety issues including important warnings, risks and related topics are covered
in this section of the manual. It is very important that this information be avail-
able to all personnel who will work on or near the Autocam equipment.
Very Important Information
To avoid personal injury, always exercise caution when work-
ing in the vicinity of energized heads as they can start to move
without any warning.
Unless it is impossible, you should always de-energize the
head before working on any part of the head, the camera/lens,
or any associated equipment.
Know the location of the HS-105P power On/Off switch so
that you can power down the head in an emergency.
Customer Responsibility
It is the customer’s responsibility to ensure that the workplace is safe. In normal
operation, the remote controlled heads and payloads in an Autocam system can
move suddenly and without warning. Since audible warnings are out of the
question in normal television applications, it is recommended that only trained
personnel be allowed to work in the active areas where the remote controlled
heads and payloads are located. As part of the training, personnel must be made
aware of the hazards of working in a robot environment, including the specific
hazards listed below. The forces are sufficient to cause personal injury, or injury
to others and therefore, caution is essential.
Safe Working Environment
Each of the remote control heads should be within the view of the operator of
the Autocam system at the control panel. Before and during remote operation,
the operator must verify visually that the active area is clear. If personnel are too
close to one of the heads that is about to move, the operator can prevent the
motion from starting, or stop the motion after it has started.
