General safety instructions
In the commissioning and programming of positioning systems, the safety regulations in this descrip
tion and in the documentation for the other components must always be observed.
The user must ensure that nobody is within the sphere of influence of the connected planar surface
gantry. Access to the possible danger zone must be prevented by suitable measures such as shut-offs
and warning signs.
Warning
Planar surface gantries travel with great force and speed. Collisions can lead to serious
injury to people and damage to components.
Make sure that nobody can grasp into the sphere of influence of the planar surface
gantry as well as other connected actuators – e.g. through protective guards – and
no items are located in the travel range as long as the system is connected to energy
sources.
Caution
Parameterisation errors can cause injury to people and damage to property.
Enable the controller only if the planar surface gantry has been professionally in
stalled and parameterised.
Note
Damage to the product from incorrect handling.
Switch off the supply voltage before mounting and installation work. Switch on sup
ply voltage only when mounting and installation work are completely finished.
Never unplug or plug in a product when powered!
Observe the handling specifications for electrostatically sensitive devices.
