Mechanical installation

Acute risk of injury or death by electric shock!
Before assembly or disassembly of the XTS, make sure all electrical components are in a
de-energized idle state! Failure to observe this instruction may result in serious bodily injury
DANGER
or death!
Danger from magnetic fields!
In particular, the magnetic field poses a danger to:
• Persons with cardiac pacemakers (the magnetic field may cause the pacemaker to
switch to test mode and thus cause a cardiac arrest!)
• Persons with magnetically conductive implants
• Magnetic data storage devices
• Chip cards with magnetic strips, and
• Electronic devices
• Also keep in mind that the magnetic fields can influence implanted defibrillators and
make external defibrillators inoperable.
• Ensure a safety distance of 500 mm to all magnetic parts. Also, make sure that there is
no direct contact with magnetic components near parts that are susceptible to interfer-
ence.
The national regulations and guidelines applicable in other countries must be followed!
Also note the requirements of BGV B 11 in connection with magnetic fields (BGV B 11
Section 14).
Danger from magnetic attraction forces!
The Beckhoff XTS is equipped with permanent magnets at the guide rails and movers. Dur-
ing the installation and commissioning of components, magnetic attraction forces may re-
sult in bruising or injuries of body parts. Therefore, please observe the following safety in-
formation:
• Move the magnetic components together slowly. Never leave magnetic components un-
secured next to each other. Wear protective gloves.
• Avoid shocks or jerky contact between magnets. This could lead to splintering and eye
injuries. Wear safety goggles.
• Make sure that your working environment is free from ferrous tools or materials. These
could be attracted by the magnetic field and cause injuries to body parts. Do not wear
magnetisable objects such as watches, necklaces, earrings, etc.
• Always work in pairs
• Always wear personal protective equipment (PPE)!
Changes to system components
Machining (milling, drilling, etc.) of individual components of the XTS and associated modi-
fication of the overall configuration can lead to deformation of system components.
Attention
Please note: Any unauthorized modifications of the XTS would void any warranty claims
against Beckhoff Automation GmbH & Co. KG.
