LSM-EFA LIFT SYSTEM MEDIUM WITH ELECTRIC FLAP ACTUATOR 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 FIG A B High Risk - Crushing Crush hazard at the cabinet aperture when Low Risk - Falling Objects mechanism is opening. Falling object hazard if objects are left on top H of the top panel. Mitigation The cabinet top should be floating on locator Mitigation dowels to allow vertical movement if an See general mitigations. obstruction is caught between it and the base panel. A tapeswitch is another useful method to prevent fingers getting crushed (see Fig A). Base Panel Low Risk - Crushing Cables could be snagged if not properly managed High Risk - Crushing through and around the mechanism, causing Crush hazard below the mechanism when damage to the mechanism and electronics. mechanism is closing. Mitigation Mitigation Ensure sufficient cable slack is allowed around Ensure area below the mechanism is kept clear movement joints to prevent stretching and/ or at all times when the mechanism is being used. damage to the cables and/ or mechanism. If installing or maintaining the mechanism do so with the mechanism turned off. SECTION B-B B CONSIDERATIONS SHEET UK +44 (0) 1438 833577 US +1 (603) 742 9181 ISSUE 001 WWW NET . .
