AL675-PF ACTUATOR LIFT WITH PUSH FLAP High Risk - Crushing Crush Risk between the base panel and the General Mitigations: INTEGRATION CONSIDERATIONS cabinet top as the lift opens. • Implement a hold to run/dead man switch operation. • Control methods should be located within direct line of site of the mechanism. • Implement password or key switch protected operation. High Risk - Crush Hazard Crush hazard between the base panel and the cabinet top as the lift opens. Mitigation A pressure switch can be added to stop the mechanism before injury. Keep the gaps between Low Risk - Falling Objects Hazard the cabinet aperture and the moving panels to a Falling objects hazard if items are left on top minimum (no smaller than 3mm [1/8”]) to reduce of the flap panel during deployment. the risk of obstruction (see detail B). B Mitigation Flap See general mitigations. Tapeswitch TS16S X panel Sensing Edge Activation travel 0.39 approx. 3.5mm @ 10 <120N (12Kg) Screen clearance Cabinet Low Risk - Impact Hazard Impact hazard if the flap panel closes in an uncontrolled manner. Mitigation Install a soft close damper to ensure the flap panel closes in a controlled manner. Screen Base panel DETAIL B Low Risk - Cable Snagging Hazard High Risk - Crush Hazard Cables could be snagged if not properly Crush hazard between the mechanism and the X managed through and around the mechanism, base panel as the lift closes. causing damage to the mechanism and electronics. Mitigation Ensure area below the mechanism is kept clear Mitigation at all times when the mechanism is being used. Ensure all cables are fully restrained within If installing or maintaining the mechanism do so suitable cable trunking. with the mechanism turned off.
