Qualified Personnel For the protection of personnel and equipment, a qualified person mustperform the procedures detailed in this bulletin.

A qualified person is one who has skills and knowledge related to the

construction and operation of this electrical equipment and the installation,

and has received safety training to recognize and avoid the hazards

involved. Refer to the most current release of NFPA 70E, Standard for

Electrical Safety in the Workplace, for safety training requirements.

In addition, the person must be:

Able to read, interpret, and follow the instructions and precautions in this

data bulletin and the other documentation referenced.

Able to use the required tools listed in this data bulletin in a safe and

correct manner.

Before You Begin Do not use this product on machinery lacking effective point-of-operationguarding. Lack of effective point-of-operation guarding can result in serious

injury to the operator.

.

This automation equipment and related software is used to control a variety of

industrial processes. The type or model of automation equipment suitable for

each application will vary depending on factors such as the control function

required, degree of protection required, production methods, unusualconditions, and government regulations. In some applications, more than one

processor may be required, as when backup redundancy is needed.

Only the user can be aware of all the conditions and factors present during

setup, operation, and maintenance of the machine; therefore, only the user can

determine the correct automation equipment and the related safeties and

interlocks to be used. When selecting automation and control equipment and

related software for a particular application, refer to the applicable local and

national standards and regulations. The National Safety Councils Accident

Prevention Manual (nationally recognized in the United States of America) also

provides much useful information.

In some applications, such as packaging machinery, additional operator

protection such as point-of-operation guarding must be provided. This is

necessary if the operators hands and other parts of the body are free to enterthe pinch points or other hazardous areas and serious injury can occur.

Software products by themselves cannot protect an operator from injury. For

this reason, the software cannot be substituted for, or take the place of,

point-of-operation protection.

WARNINGUNGUARDED MACHINERY CAN CAUSE SERIOUS INJURY

Do not use this software and related automation equipment on

equipment which does not have point-of-operation protection.

Do not reach into machinery during operation.

Failure to foll ow these instructions can result in death, serious

injury, or equipment damage.

Operation and Adjustments The following precautions are from the NEMA Standards PublicationICS 7.1-1995 (English version prevails):

Regardless of the care exercised in the design and manufacture of

equipment or in the selection and rating of components, there are

hazards that can be encountered if such equipment is improperly

operated.

It is sometimes possible to misadjust the equipment and thus produce

unsatisfactory or unsafe operation. Always use the manufacturers

instructions as a guide for functional adjustments. Personnel who have

access to these adjustments should be familiar with the equipment

manufacturers instructions and the machinery used with the electrical

equipment.

Only those operational adjustments actually required by the operator

should be accessible to the operator. Access to other controls should be

restricted to prevent unauthorized changes in operating characteristics.
