General protective notes and protective measures
Observe the protective notes!
Please observe the following points in order to ensure the correct and safe use of the EFI
gateway.
The national/international rules and regulations apply to the installation, commissioning
and periodic technical inspections of the EFI gateway and the safety components
connected to it, in particular:
–
Machinery Directive
–
Provision and use of Work Equipment Directive
–
The work safety regulations/safety rules
–
Other relevant health and safety regulations
–
EMC directive
Manufacturers and operators of the machine on which the EFI gateway is used are
responsible for obtaining and observing all applicable safety regulations and rules.
The notices of these operating instructions (e.g. on use, mounting, installation or
integration into the existing machine controller) must be observed.
The test regulations in the operating instructions of all the connected components are
to be observed.
Changes to the configuration of the devices can impair the protective function. After
every change to the configuration you must therefore check the effectiveness of the
protective device.
The person carrying out the changes is also responsible for maintaining the protective
function of the device. When making configuration changes, please always use the
password hierarchy provided by SICK to ensure that only authorised persons make
changes to the configuration. The SICK service team is available to provide assistance if
required.
The system must be tested by qualified safety personnel or specially qualified and
authorised personnel and the test must be recorded and documented to ensure that
the tests can be reconstructed and retraced at any time.
The operating instructions must be made available to the operator of the machine
where the EFI gateway is fitted.
To meet the requirements of the relevant product standards, the external voltage supply
for the device (SELV) must be able to withstand the brief mains failure of 20 ms allowed
in EN 60
204-1.
