LSH-S-BE LIFT SYSTEM HEAVY SWIVEL & BOX ENCLOSURE 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. High Risk - Crushing Crush hazard between the top panel and the cabinet top as the lift closes. Top Panel Mitigation Low Risk - Falling Objects Install a pressure switch below the top panel to Falling object hazard if objects are left on top detect any obstructions. A pressure switch can be of the top panel. installed between two timber panels to allow the vertical movement required for switching. Mitigation See general mitigations. Box Enclosure Low Risk - Crushing Low Risk - Impact Crush hazard at the cabinet aperture when Impact hazard around mechanism when mechanism is opening. swivelling. Mitigation Mitigation Keep the gaps between the cabinet aperture and Set swivel limits to prevent impact with the moving panels to a minimum (no smaller than surrounding objects/ structures. Ensure 3mm [1/8”]) to reduce the risk of obstruction. Install sufficient space is left between the screen and a pressure switch below the cabinet top to detect any obstructions. any obstructions. 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. CONSIDERATIONS SHEET UK +44 (0) 1438 833577 US +1 (603) 742 9181 ISSUE 001 WWW NET . . SHEET 1 FUTUREAUTOMATION
