PLF PLASMA LIFT FLAP General Mitigations: INTEGRATION CONSIDERATIONS • Implement a hold to run/dead man switch operation. High Risk - Crush Hazard • Control methods should be located within direct line of site of the mechanism. Screen Crush hazard between the screen and the floor • Implement password or key switch protected operation. as the lift closes. Mitigation Ensure the mount is not installed in a high traffic High Risk - Falling Hazard area where the risk of accidental impact is high. Falling hazard when the mechanism is closing. See also general mitigations. Fallen items may also cause damage to the Floor mechanism during operation. Mitigation High Risk - Crush Hazard See general mitigations. Crush hazard between the base panel and the floor when the mechanism is opening. B B Mitigation Ensure the mount is not installed in a high traffic area where the risk of accidental impact is high. See Base panel also general mitigations. High Risk - Crush Hazard Crush hazard between the floor flap and the floor when the mechanism is closing. Mitigation Ensure the mount is not installed in a high traffic area where the risk of accidental impact is high. See Floor flap also general mitigations. Low Risk - Cable Snagging Hazard Cables could be snagged if not properly managed through and around the mechanism, causing damage to the mechanism and electronics. High Risk - Crush Hazard Crush hazard below the mechanism when the Mitigation mechanism is closing. Ensure sufficient cable slack is allowed around movement joints to prevent stretching and/ or Mitigation damage to the cables and/ or mechanism. Ensure area below the mechanism is kept clear

at all times when the mechanism is being used. If installing or maintaining the mechanism do so with the mechanism turned off. Floor pit CONSIDERATIONS SHEET UK +44 (0) 1438 833577 US +1 (603) 742 9181 ISSUE 001 WWW NET . . SHEET 1 FUTUREAUTOMATION SECTION B-B
