!WARNING
Read and understand this section prior to installing an F3S-TGR-CL system.
A F3S-TGR-CL system is a general purpose sensing device designed to
guard personnel working around moving machinery.
Whether a specific machine application and F3S-TGR-CL system installation
complies with safety regulations depends on the proper application, installa-
tion, maintenance and operation of the F3S-TGR-CL system. These items are
the responsibility of the purchaser, installer and employer.
The employer is responsible for the selection and training of personnel to
properly install, operate and maintain the machine and its safeguarding sys-
tems. A F3S-TGR-CL system should only be installed verified and maintained
by a qualified person. A qualified person is defined as "an individual who
understands, is trained on, and demonstrates competence with the construc-
tion, operation or maintenance of the machinery and the hazards involved."
To use the F3S-TGR-CL system the following requirements must be met:
• The national/international rules and regulations apply to the installation,
use and periodic technical inspections of the safety light curtain, in partic-
ular:
• Observe the instructions in this manual regarding test regulations (e.g. on
use, mounting, installation or integration into the existing machine control
system) carefully.
• The tests must be carried out by specialist personnel or specially qualified
and authorized personnel and must be recorded and documented to
ensure that the tests can be reconstructed and retraced at any time.
• Check the effectiveness of the protective device after every change
because a change may degrade the safety function.
• The operating instructions must be made available to the operator of the
machine where the F3S-TGR-CL system is installed.
• The machine operator is to be instructed in the use of the device by spe-
cialist personnel and must be instructed to read the operating instructions.
• The guarded machine must not present a hazard from flying parts.
• The guarded machine must have a consistent stopping time and ade-
quate control mechanisms.
• Additional guarding may be required for access to dangerous areas not
covered by the F3S-TGR-CL system.
