SICK i110RP User Manual

2 On safety
This chapter deals with your own safety and the safety of the machine operators.
►
P
lease read this chapter carefully before working with the i110RP or with the
machine protected by the i110RP.
The national/international rules and regulations apply to the installation, commission‐
ing, use and periodic technical inspections of the rope-operated switch, in particular
•
the Machinery Directive,
•
the Low Voltage Directive,
•
the Work Equipment Directive,
•
the safety regulations as well as
•
the work safety regulations/safety rules.
Manufacturers and operators of the machine on which the rope-operated switches are
used are responsible for obtaining and observing all applicable safety regulations and
rules.
2.1 Qualified safety personnel
The i110RP rope-operated switch must be mounted, installed and commissioned only
b
y qualified safety personnel. Qualified safety personnel are defined as persons who
•
have undergone the appropriate technical training
and
•
have been instructed by the responsible machine owner in the operation of the
machine and the current valid safety guidelines
and
•
who have access to these operating instructions.
2.2 Applications of the rope pull switches
Rope pull switches of the i110RP series are electromechanical emergency stop devices
t
hat are actuated using a rope. They are not intended as a substitute for safety guards.
The switched off state is retained until the blue reset lever is actuated, i.e. it is set to
“1” position.
For the control this means that
•
the dangerous state of the machine must stop as soon as the switch is actuated,
•
switch on commands that cause dangerous conditions are only allowed to become
effective when the blue reset lever on the rope-operated switch has been actuated
(„1“ position).
Prior to the use of rope-operated switches, a risk assessment must be performed on
the machine.
Important:
The user is responsible for the safe integration of the rope pull switch in a safe overall
system. For this purpose the overall system must be validated, e.g. in accordance with
EN ISO 13849-2.
If the simplified procedure in accordance with section 6.3 EN ISO 13849-1 is used for
validation, the Performance Level (PL) may be reduced if several devices are connected
one after the other.
To determine the necessary reliability (Performance Level PL, SIL) for the safety func‐
tion the related standards should be used:
