Safety Warning

Serious injury may possibly occur due to loss of required safety functions.
When building the system, observe the following warnings to ensure the integrity of the safety-related components.

The process of selecting these products should include the development and execution of a risk assessment system early in the design development stage to help identify potential dangers in your equipment and optimize safety product selection.

When developing a safety system for the equipment and devices that use safety products, make every effort to understand and conform to the entire series of international and industry standards available, such as the examples given below.

Safety products incorporate standardized safety functions and mechanisms, but the benefits of these functions and mechanisms are designed to attain their full potential only within properly designed safety-related systems. Make sure you fully understand all functions and mechanisms, and use that understanding to develop systems that will ensure optimal usage.

Qualified engineers must develop your safety-related system and install safety products in devices and equipment. Prior to machine commissioning verify through testing that the safety products works as expected.

Safety products must conform to pertinent laws, regulations, and standards. Make sure that they are installed and used in accordance with the laws, regulations, and standards of the country where the devices and equipment incorporating these products are distributed.

Carefully read the specifications and precautions as well as all items in the Instruction Manual for your safety product to learn appropriate usage procedures. Any deviation from instructions will lead to unexpected device or equipment failure not anticipated by the safety-related system.

When transferring devices and equipment, be sure to retain one copy of the Instruction Manual and supply another copy with the device or equipment so the person receiving it will have no problems with operation and maintenance.
