Protection against dangerous movements
Unexpected movements
Residual energy in the system may cause serious injuries while
working with the product.
• Switch off the energy supply, ensure that no residual energy
remains and secure against inadvertent reactivation.
• Never rely solely on the response of the monitoring function to
avert danger. Until the installed monitors become effective, it
must be assumed that the drive movement is faulty, with its action
being dependent on the control unit and the current operating
condition of the drive. Perform maintenance work, modifications,
and attachments outside the danger zone defined by the
movement range.
• To avoid accidents and/or material damage, human access to
the movement range of the machine must be restricted. Re-
strict unintentional access by persons to this range e.g. via a
protective cover, protective fence or photoelectric barrier. The
protective cover and protective fence must be rigid enough to
withstand the maximum possible movement energy. EMERGENCY
STOP switches must be easily and quickly accessible. Check the
function of the EMREGENCY STOP before starting up the machine
or system. If this protective equipment is not working properly,
prevent the operation of the machine.
Notes on particular risks
Risk of fatal injury from suspended loads!
Falling loads can cause serious injuries and even death.
• Stand clear of suspended loads and do not step within their
swiveling range.
• Never move loads without supervision.
• Do not leave suspended loads unattended.
• Wear suitable protective equipment.
