1.2.6 Controls
1.2.6.1. The control panel must be located such that it is easily accessible for all sizes and
capacities of people, and allows the operator to move freely (whenever applicable).
1.2.6.2. Control devices must be located outside of danger zones, such that any exposed persons
in danger zones are visible from the control station.
1.2.6.3. An acceptable means must be provided to monitor the status and movement of the load.
1.2.6.4.
The floor can generate enormous horizontal force which can destroy improperly designed
surroundings. The floor module must not be allowed to compact material against an end
wall or door, or end walls and doors must be designed to absorb these forces.
1.2.6.5.
Do not allow the floor to move material toward the front of the trailer when material is
contacting the front wall. KEITH recommends installing limit switches to prevent this.
In the absence of a sensor switch, the operator must be keenly aware of the load
position, and the control system must require the operator to hold the run signal in the on
position to continue running, such that releasing the run signal causes the floor to stop
(momentary signal).
1.2.6.6. Material compacted against closed doors can force the doors open dangerously fast when
the door latch is released. The impact can cause serious injury or death. Do not allow
the floor to run when the doors are closed. Do not open a door when it is possible that
material may be compacted against it. KEITH strongly recommends installing a control
interlock switch to prevent the floor from running when the door is closed. KEITH also
recommends a door latch that can be remotely actuated by someone away from the door
area unload zone.
