Startup and operation
6.1
Startup
Uncontrolled system movement
During commissioning, the system may perform
uncontrolled movements. This could result in personal
injury and equipment damage.
► Persons must keep away from the system's
hazardous zones.
► Startup must be performed only by trained technical
personnel.
► Observe the safety instructions of the equipment or
system manufacturer.
1. Check connections for tightness and correct polarity.
Replace damaged connections.
2. Check installation specifications, pay attention to
cooling of the system.
3. Pay attention to the working clearance and consider
the movements of the system and their tolerances.
4. Switch on the system and integrate the diagnostic
channel into the control system accordingly.
5. Take into account power-on times or delays of the BIC
system when creating the system control software.
Check for the correct values, especially after
replacing the BIC system or after repair by the
manufacturer.
6.2
Operation
Electromagnetic fields
At a distance of 300 mm, the magnetic field strength of
a BIC is less than 0.092 µT. Based on the EU Council
recommendation 1999/5/EC, this distance applies as a
basic limit value or reference value for personal safety in
electromagnetic fields according to EN 62311:2008.
Additional (operational) limits may apply to persons with
active medical implants.
► At-risk persons must keep away from the system's
hazardous zones.
► Observe any other existing operational limit values.

DANGER
DANGER
CAUTION
Danger of burns from hot surfaces
The housing and especially the active surface will heat up
under normal operating conditions. Metallic objects in
front of and on the active surface cause a strong heating
effect. There is a risk of burn injuries!
► Keep hands and objects away from the housing and
active surface.
► Make sure that no metallic objects come between
the distances to be maintained and between
the active surfaces of the Base and Remote
components (see chapter 5.1 and 5.2 from
page 11).
If the BIC system is operated under a high
overload, the output voltage of the Remote
component collapses.
Depending on the ambient temperature, the continuously
transmittable power of the system is reduced during
operation. To protect against damage due to overheating,
power and data transmission is switched off in case of
overtemperature.
Fig. 6-1 on page 15 shows the path of a typical derating
curve of the BIC system with a supply voltage of 24 V on
the Base side and without lateral offset between Base and
Remote. To illustrate an extreme situation, no mounting
bracket was used to mount the BIC system when
recording this curve and the airflow around the system was
greatly reduced. Better values can be achieved with
suitable cooling.
If a higher average output current is required at a higher
ambient temperature, the continuous output power at the
Remote component can be increased by heat dissipation
(e.g. via a heat sink or by fixing it on material with good
thermal conductivity).
