    1.1. HEALTH AND SAFETY INSTRUCTION The safety of Qubic System users is top priority. To protect users and bystanders from injuries caused by mechanical parts movement and electric shock, the following in- structions MUST BE followed. WARNING As with any mechanical device, user is the one responsible for inspecting the condition of the machine before using it and ensuring safe working conditions.
  • Page 10 QS-S25 How to safely turn on and use the QS-S25: Ensure that everyone around is aware of cockpit’s rapid movements. ■ Ensure that no one stands in the range of the motion (minimum of 1.5 m [5 feet]). ■ WARNING In order to perform a start-up calibration QS-S25 will move automatically after turning it on.
  • Page 11 WARNING Motion Lock input is not SIL/PL (safety integrity level/performance level) rated DOES NOT guarantee safety. If you wish to achieve specific SIL/PL rank- ing, consider introducing a power cut-off device that is controlled by an external safety relay and cuts off the power to all Power Cabinets. Example application of the power cut-off contactor can be found in section 7.3.2 and 7.3.3 on pages 86 and 88.
