TSLM TELESCOPIC SCREEN LIFT MEDIUM 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. High Risk - Crush Hazard • Implement password or key switch protected operation. Crush hazard between the top panel and the Top panel cabinet top as the lift closes. Mitigation The top panel can also be floating/not permanently fixed to allow vertical movement if an obstruction is caught between it and the cabinet top. Keep all shadow gaps to a minimum (no smaller than 3mm [1/8"]) to reduce the risk of obstruction. Low Risk - Falling Objects Hazard Falling objects hazard if items are left on the top panel. Mitigation High Risk - Crush Hazard See general mitigations. Crush hazard between the cabinet top and the base panel when the mechanism is opening. Mitigation Box enclosure Keep all shadow gaps to a minimum (no smaller than 3mm [1/8”]) to reduce the risk of obstruction. Cabinet Low Risk - Cable Snagging Hazard Cables could be snagged if not properly managed through and around the mechanism, High Risk - Crush Hazard causing damage to the mechanism and Crush hazard below the mechanism when 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
