Safety instructions
•
For a fail-safe function install redundant safety systems to prevent that loads or system parts
fall uncontrolled. Install (if necessary) protection from system parts that move. Obey the
applicable national and/or local standards and guidelines of the related type of operated
system.
•
Use (if applicable) personal protective-equipment for protection which agrees with the different
types of work.
•
Do not let persons and not approved personnel be near controls and systems in operation.
•
Damaged systems must be stopped immediately until they are repaired.
•
Use safety barriers for system parts that move. Refer to the applicable standards and guidelines.
•
The safety distance to the danger zone (if applicable) must agree with applicable standards and
guidelines (for example ISO 13857:2008).
•
Do not operate systems when the motor gearbox (internally and/or externally) is frozen in cold
and moist conditions (for example because of snow or ice).
•
Do not operate systems when persons are in the danger zone and can touch the system.
•
Monitor the danger zone when you work with or near the system.
•
Stop and de-energize systems during maintenance and cleaning work on or near the system.
•
Make sure that there is sufficient space between parts that move and adjacent objects.
•
Stay away from or safety areas where there is a risk to become caught in a system that moves.
•
The torque and the duty cycle of the system must be in the range of the motor gearbox
parameters.
2.3 Residual risks
Automatic controls
The Ridder drive-units are usually used in automatic controlled systems. Persons who do work or
stay near the system must know about that. If persons or their clothes touch the system during
operation, it can be dangerous.
Forces
Ridder cannot be sure that there will be no injury to persons or damage to the system because of
the forces in the systems (in which the drive unit is installed).
If you do not obey the safety instructions that follow it can be
dangerous and cause injury.
Persons can be in danger of life if they touch a system that is in
operation.
