can cause severe electric shock and/or burns and could be lethal.
Extreme care is necessary at all times when working with or adjacent to
the product. The installation must comply with all relevant safety
legislation in the country of use. The forces created by actuator could be
lethal or cause severe injury if proper protection is not provided to keep
personnel away from moving components.
System Design and safety for personnel
The actuator is intended as a component for professional
incorporation into complete equipment or a system.
If installed incorrectly, the actuator may present a
safety hazard.
The actuator uses high voltages and currents, carries a high level of
stored electrical energy, and is used to control equipment which can
cause injury. Close attention is required to the electrical installation and
the system design to avoid hazards either in normal operation or in the
event of equipment malfunction. System design, installation,
commissioning, and maintenance must be carried out by personnel who
have the necessary training and experience. They must read this safety
information and this manual carefully.
None of the functions or features of the Tritex actuator may be
used to ensure safety of personnel, i.e. they must not be used for
safety-related functions. For example the actuators enable / disable,
brake, stop/start and forward/reverse functions are not sufficient for use
in safety-critical applications without additional independent channels of
protection. Careful consideration must be given to the functions of the
actuator which might result in a hazard, either through their intended
behavior or through incorrect operation due to a fault. In any application
where a malfunction of the actuator or its control system could lead to or
allow damage, loss or injury, a risk analysis must be carried out, and
where necessary, further measures taken to reduce the risk.- for
example a failsafe brake in case of loss of actuator braking power.
Never attempt to connect or disconnect the actuator
with power applied.
Dangerous voltages may be present. Damage to
equipment and injury to personnel can result. Many
amplifiers have voltage present for a considerable time period after
incoming power is removed. Take care to insure that the amplifier has
discharged all power.
