LSM-TU-HF LIFT SYSTEM MEDIUM WITH TELESCOPE AND HEAVY 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 High Risk - Mechanism Damage Hazard Items left above the mechanism can be crushed and/or cause damage to the mechanism as it opens. Mitigation FIG A Ensure the area above the mechanism is kept clear at all times when operating. See also general mitigations. High Risk - Crushing Crush hazard at the cabinet aperture when B mechanism is opening. Base Panel Mitigation Flap Panel H The cabinet top should be floating on locator Low Risk - Falling Objects dowels to allow vertical movement if an Falling object hazard if objects are left on top obstruction is caught between it and the base of the flap panel. panel. A tapeswitch is another useful method to prevent Mitigation fingers getting crushed (see Fig A). See general mitigations. High Risk - Crushing Low Risk - Crushing Crush hazard below the mechanism when Cables could be snagged if not properly managed mechanism is closing. through and around the mechanism, 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 sufficient cable slack is allowed around If installing or maintaining the mechanism do so movement joints to prevent stretching and/ or with the mechanism turned off. damage to the cables and/ or mechanism.
