Page 8: Description And Working Principle
Description and working principle Definition: GAMMA SYSTEM PRESSURE-SENSITIVE BUMPER is a “safety device" used as an "electro-sensitive protective device designed to detect persons or parts of person. It is described in Annex IV of the Machinery Directive 2006/42/CE. In particular, it is classified as a "safety device equipped with a sensor, capable of detecting a pressure, and a control circuit having a verification function according to the specified category and an output interface”. -
Page 9: Description Of The Product
Description of the product Bumpers are made of a polyurethane material (foam) exhibiting appropriate elasticity and are coated with protective fabric. Inserted inside the bumpers is a sensitive element (“sensor”) properly secured inside the foam. The whole is closed by a frame that is glued to the foams and the aluminum plates. Inserted inside the bumpers is a sensitive element (“sensor”) properly secured inside the foam. -

If signs of damage are noted, please immediately notify this situation to the carrier and inform GAMMA SYSTEM. While opening the package, care should be taken not to damage the content. DO NOT USE cutters or sharp objects. Bumpers are delivered to the Customer packed in cardboard boxes. -
Page 22: Installation
Installation WARNING! Please read this Manual carefully and completely before doing any work on the sensor or on the control device. This Manual is intended for the qualified, technical personnel charged with the installation works. The global safety of the machine and safety device depends on the quality, reliability and correct installation of the interface GAMMA SYSEM pressure-sensitive bumpers and the relevant control devices do not need any adjustment at the time of installation. - Page 23 The mounting surface should be suitable for the sensor you intend to use. If mounting surface is not sufficiently rigid, or if it exhibits irregularities, this can adversely affect the sensitivity and reliability of the device. If the sensor repeatedly or regularly comes into contact with a surface, try to avoid contact with sharp angles or irregularities which could result in damage.

Page 27: Testing Procedure
10.3 Testing Procedure The testing procedure shall be carried out by qualified personnel whilst installing one or more pressure- sensitive bumpers with one or more control unit and after each maintenance work, adjustment or modification to the machinery and/or machinery control circuit. Check the values of the sensor ohmic resistance as shown in the following points. -
Page 28: Control Unit Or Control Device For Bumpers
Control unit or control device for bumpers The control unit is used to constantly control the correct operation of a sensor (safety mat, safety edge or safety bumper) through blade contacts. Blade contact is an NO contact (normally open) which makes in case of actuation thereby causing the break of the output contact of the control unit. -
Page 29: Maintenance
In case of deep cuts and/or abrasions, the sensor should be sent to GAMMA SYSTEM for repair and verification that the internal contacts have not been damaged. GAMMA SYSTEM pressure-sensitive bumpers are resistant to all common mineral oils or emulsions used in the workshop and to all chemical cleaning products (see chemical compatibility table). - Page 30 WARNINGS: Only parts approved by Gamma System are to be replaced by the user. If non-approved spare parts are used or non-approved modifications are carried out, the device operation could be compromised. Failure to comply with these directions will void the certification and the warranty. Always contact GAMMA SYSTEM.
