LSM-PF LIFT SYSTEM MEDIUM WITH PUSH FLAP General Mitigations: INTEGRATION CONSIDERATIONS • 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. Tapeswitch TS16S Sensing Edge Flap Panel High Risk - Crushing Crush hazard at the cabinet aperture when mechanism is opening. FIG A Mitigation The cabinet top should be floating on locator I dowels to allow vertical movement if an Low Risk - Falling Objects obstruction is caught between it and the base J Falling object hazard if objects are left on top panel. of the top panel. A tapeswitch is another useful method to prevent fingers getting crushed (see Fig A). Mitigation See general mitigations. Base Panel High Risk - Crushing Crush hazard below the mechanism when Low Risk - Crushing mechanism is closing. Cables could be snagged if not properly managed through and around the mechanism, causing Mitigation damage to the mechanism and electronics. Ensure area below the mechanism is kept clear at all times when the mechanism is being used. Mitigation If installing or maintaining the mechanism do so Ensure sufficient cable slack is allowed around with the mechanism turned off. movement joints to prevent stretching and/ or damage to the cables and/ or mechanism.
