Before attempting to use the system, carry out the following basic checks to ensure that it is in a
safe condition and ready to be used:
Check that the electrical power, and air supply if being used, are connected correctly
l
and are working normally.
Check that there is no metal or other items resting on top of the metal detector,
l
particularly around the search head.
Check that the conveyors are clean and clear of any products or other items.
l
Check that all panels, inspection hatches and the Electrical Cabinet are closed and
l
locked.
Check the area in front of the system to ensure that it is clean and clear of any potential
l
trip or slip hazards.
Check the control panel to ensure that the system is working correctly and no warning or
l
error messages are being displayed.
In addition, the following points should be observed for safe operation of the system:
Installation, commissioning, operation and maintenance of the system should only be
l
carried out by Loma trained personnel, following the applicable safety measures.
Any attempts at servicing and/or repair of the system by unqualified personnel may result
l
in damage which could result in the introduction of a safety hazard and the loss of
warranty cover.
Care should be taken when carrying out tasks in areas of the system that are potentially
l
hazardous; as identified with an appropriate safety label.
Removal of any guards, covers and other protective devices must only be carried out by
l
authorized or qualified personnel after first switching off and removing any power from the
system.
Interlocking devices are fitted to all inspection covers to automatically stop the
conveyor when a cover is opened.
For the protection of operating personnel, safety switches are installed in easily accessible
l
places on the system, all of which trigger an EMERGENCY STOP.
All safety devices must be functional at all times! Damaged protective devices or
covers must be repaired or replaced immediately!
When safety components are replaced, the protective devices are to be properly
l
attached and tested by the operator.
