Make sure to install the F3S-TGR-CL system at a safe distance from the haz-
ardous part of the equipment. Otherwise, the machine may not stop before a
person reaches the hazardous part, resulting in serous injury.
Install a protective structure so that the hazardous part of a machine can only
be reached by passing through the sensor's detection zone. Install the sen-
sors so that part of the person is always present in the detection zone when
working in a machine's hazardous areas. If a person is able to step into the
hazardous area of a machine and remain behind the F3S-TGR-CL system's
detection zone, configure the system with an interlock function that prevents
the machine from being restarted. Failure to do so may result in serious injury.
Install the interlock switch in a location that provides a clear view of the entire
hazardous area and where it cannot be activated from within the hazardous
area.
The F3S-TGR-CL system cannot protect a person from a projectile exiting the
hazardous zone. Install protective cover(s) or fence(s).
To prevent personnel approaching a dangerous part of the machine through a
zone disabled by the blanking function, you must install a protective structure
to cover the whole disabled zone. Failure to do so may cause failure of human
body detection, resulting in a serious injury.
You must ensure that a test rod is detected for all detection zones except
where the blanking function is used. Failure to do so may cause failure of
human body detection, resulting in a serious injury.
Detection capability gets larger if blanking function is used. You must use the
detection capability for blanking functions. Failure to do so may cause failure
of machine stop before reaching the machine's dangerous part, resulting in a
serious injury.
The muting and override functions disable the safety functions of the device.
You must ensure safety using other method when these functions are operat-
ing.
Install muting sensors so that they can distinguish between the object that is
being allowed to pass through the detection zone and a person. If the muting
function is activated by the detection of a person, it may result in serious
injury.
Muting lamps (external indicators) that indicate the state of the muting and
override functions must be installed where they are clearly visible to workers
from all the operating positions.
A sufficiently trained and qualified person must properly configure muting
related timings for its specific application, and that person must have respon-
sibility for settings, especially when the muting time limit is infinite.
Use two independent input devices for muting inputs.
You must install F3S-TGR-CL system muting sensor, and physical barrier, and
configure time settings for muting so that an operator can not enter hazardous
zone.
