WARNING!
Read and understand this section prior to installing an MS4800 system.
An MS4800 system is a general purpose presence sensing device designed to guard personnel working
around moving machinery.
Whether a specific machine application and MS4800 system installation complies with safety
regulations depends on the proper application, installation, maintenance and operation of the MS4800
system. These items are the responsibility of the purchaser, installer and employer.
The employer is responsible for the selection and training of personnel to properly install, operate, and
maintain the machine and its safeguarding systems. An MS4800 system should only be installed,
verified and maintained by a person. A qualified person is defined as "an individual who
qualified
understands, is trained on, and demonstrates competence with the construction, operation or
maintenance of the machinery and the hazards involved." (ANSI/PMMI B155.1-2006)
To use an MS4800 system the following requirements must be met:
— The guarded machine be able to stop anywhere in its cycle. Do not use a safety light curtain on
must
a press with a full-revolution clutch.
— The guarded machine must not present a hazard from flying parts.
— The guarded machine must have a consistent stopping time and adequate control mechanisms.
— Severe smoke, particulate matter and corrosives may degrade the efficiency of a safety light curtain.
Do not use an MS4800 system in this type of environment.
— All applicable governmental and local rules, codes, and regulations must be satisfied. This is the
employer's responsibility.
— All safety-related machine control elements must be designed so that an alarm in the control logic
or failure of the control circuit does not lead to a failure to danger.
— Additional guarding may be required for access to dangerous areas not covered by the MS4800
system.
— Perform the Omron STI test procedure at installation and after maintenance, adjustment, repair or
modification to the machine controls, tooling, dies or machine, or the MS4800 system.
— Perform only the test and repair procedures outlined in this manual.
— Follow all procedures in this manual for proper operation of the MS4800 system.
The enforcement of these requirements is beyond the control of Omron STI. The employer has the sole
responsibility to follow the preceding requirements and any other procedures, conditions and
requirements specific to his machinery.
