1.2.4.6. Safe use of the Teach Pendant Unit
NOTE!
The enabling device is a push button located on the side of the Teach Pendant Unit (TPU)
which, when pressed halfway in, takes the system to MOTORS ON. When the enabling
device is released or pushed all the way in, the robot is taken to the MOTORS OFF state.
To ensure safe use of the Teach Pendant Unit, the following must be implemented:
32
• The enabling device must never be rendered inoperative in any way.
• During programming and testing, the enabling device must be released as soon as
there is no need for the robot to move.
• The programmer must always bring the Teach Pendant Unit with him/her, when
entering the robot's working space. This is to prevent anyone else taking control over
the robot without the programmer knowing.
