AdeptModules Instructrion Handbook, Volume 1: Adept MV Controller Interface, Rev. A 23
1.7 Working Areas
AdeptModules have both a Manual and an Automatic operating mode. While an
AdeptModules is in Automatic Mode, no personnel are allowed in the workcell.
Operators with additional safety equipment (see Section 1.10) are allowed to work in the
AdeptModules workcell when it is in Manual Mode. For safety reasons the operator
should, whenever possible, stay outside of the working envelope of the AdeptModules to
prevent injury. The maximum speed and power of the AdeptModules is reduced, but it
could still cause injury to the operator.
Before performing maintenance in the working envelope of the AdeptModules, High
Power must be switched off and the power to the PA4 power chassis must be
disconnected. After these precautions, a skilled person is allowed to maintain the
AdeptModules. See Section 1.8 for the personnel specifications.
Warning:
Electrical Hazard!
Impact Hazard!
Never remove any safeguarding and never make changes in the system
that will decommission a safeguard.
1.8 Qualification of Personnel
This manual assumes that personnel have attended an Adept MV Controller training
course and have a working knowledge of the system. The user must provide the
necessary additional training for all personnel who will be working with the system.
As noted in this handbook, certain procedures should be performed only by skilled or
instructed persons. For a description of the level of qualification Adept uses the standard
terms:
• Skilled persons have technical knowledge or sufficient experience to enable them to
avoid the dangers which electricity may create (engineers and technicians).
• Instructed persons are adequately advised or supervised by skilled persons to enable
them to avoid the dangers which electricity may create (operating and maintenance
staff).
All personnel must observe sound safety practices during the installation, operation and
testing of all electrically powered equipment. To avoid injury or damage to equipment,
always remove power by disconnecting the AC power cord from the source before
attempting any repair or upgrade activity.
Warning: The user is obligated to get confirmation of the following
points from all entrusted personnel before they start working with the
AdeptModules.
1) The person has received the Instruction Handbook, has
read it and has understood it.
2) The person will work in the described manner.
