Sources of danger
The driver assistance system is designed in a way that allows for safe operation.
Protective devices reduce potential risks to the maximum possible extent.
WARNING!
RISK OF INJURY FROM LASER RADIATION
The TiM351 2D LiDAR sensor used in the driver assistance system conforms to laser
class 1 (eye-safe) in accordance with EN 60825-1:2014.
The radiation emitted in normal operation is harmless to human skin and eyes if the
following points are observed:
▸
Do not open the housing.
▸
Current national regulations regarding laser protection must be observed.
WARNING!
RISK OF INJURY DUE TO ELECTRICAL CURRENT
The driver assistance system is connected to the battery of the industrial truck.
Touching live devices, which may still be energized, can lead to death, burns or
electrical shock.
▸
Only qualified specialist personnel are permitted to perform electrical work on the
driver assistance system.
▸
Before working on electrical components, observe the five safety rules:
▸
Disconnect.
▸
Secure against being switched back on.
▸
Ensure that there is no voltage.
▸
Ground and short-circuit.
▸
Cover or enclose live parts in the vicinity.
WARNING!
RISK OF INJURY DUE TO EQUIPOTENTIAL BONDING CURRENTS
Due to equipotential bonding currents, incorrect earthing can lead to the following
dangers and faults: Voltage is applied to the metal housing, cable fires due to cable
shields heating up, the product and other devices become damaged.
▸
Generate the same ground potential at all grounding points.
▸
Ground the equipotential bonding via the functional ground connection with a low
impedance.
WARNING!
RISK OF INJURY DUE TO SOUND PRESSURE
The signal light bar features a buzzer that can generate sound pressure of 75, 85 and
98 dB(A) at a distance of 1 meter.
▸
Wear hearing protection when the noise level is above LEX, 8 h=80 dB(A)
(EU regulation) to reduce noise exposure and risk of hearing loss.
▸
Current national regulations regarding laser protection must be observed.
