Appendix B. Specifications for User-built
Operator Stations
If you build your own Operator Station, be sure that it meets all the safety requirements in this
manual and in the applicable safety regulations. Minimum requirements are shown in
Table B-1.
Run Button Installation
Install the Run buttons on the Operator Station according to the following requirements:
•
The Run buttons must be protected against unintended operation and placed so that the
concurrent use of both hands is required.
•
A ring guard must be installed for each run button.
•
If the buttons are in the same plane, they must be separated by a distance of at least 24 in.
(610 mm). If the Run buttons are not in the same plane, they may be placed closer together.
For examples of correctly designed operator stations, see the illustrations of Wintriss
operator stations, starting on page 2-15.
NON-WINTRISS OPERATOR STATION MAY NOT MEET SAFETY REQUIREMENTS
• Ensure that the Operator Station meets the requirements of all applicable safety regulations.
• Ensure that the Operator Station is wired correctly.
• Ensure that on any non-Wintriss Operator Station the Run buttons are placed so that two hands
are required to push them at the same time and that buttons cannot be pushed simultaneously
with one hand or with one hand and one elbow.
• Ensure that on any non-Wintriss Operator Station the Run buttons comply with the requirements
specified in Table B-2, page B-2.
• Ensure that on any non-Wintriss Operator Station the Run buttons have ring guards or other
means in place to prevent unintentional operation.
• Run all necessary tests to verify that each Operator Station is wired correctly and provides
proper anti-tie-down and anti-repeat protection. Test procedures are provided at the end of
chapters 2 and 3.
Failure to comply with these instructions will result in death or serious injury.
