Danger from magnetic fields

Magnetic fields on individual components of the XPlanar unit pose a risk to:

• people fitted with cardiac pacemakers
• persons with magnetically conducting implants
• implanted and external defibrillators
• magnetic data storage devices, chip cards with magnetic strips and other electronic devices

Maintain a safety distance to all magnetic parts and prevent direct contact between magnetic parts and parts that are sensitive to interference.

Observe the requirements of BGV B 11 for electromagnetic fields (Germany) and applicable national regulations in other countries.

Follow the Mover handling instructions

The risks due to magnetic fields referred to above particularly relate to handling of the movers. The movers can be attracted uncontrollably by contact with magnetic objects. Read the chapter on Mechanical installation before handling the movers.

Keep the immediate environment clean

Keep your workplace and the surrounding area clean. Ensure safe working.

Shut down and secure the machine or plant

Shut down the machine or plant. Secure the machine or plant against being inadvertently started up.

Do not use damaged components

Adhere to the specifications from the technical data for storage, transport and operation. Do not use damaged components.

Check safety pictograms

Check whether the designated pictograms are on the product. Replace missing or illegible stickers.

Observe tightening torques

Mount and repeatedly check connections and components, complying with the prescribed tightening torques.

Correctly ground electrical components or modules

Avoid electric shocks due to improper grounding of electrical components or modules. Ground all conductive components according to the specifications in the chapters "Electrical Installation" and "Mechanical Installation".

Use the original packaging only

When shipping, transporting, storing and packing, use the original packaging or non-conductive materials.
