1.2.1 Safety features
Emergency stops
The machine has 2 Emergency stops. When activated the Emergency stops switch off the
power to the motor controller after the machine has come to a complete stop.
The Emergency stops must be disengaged before a restart is possible.
Optical safety devices
The machine has an optical safety device at the input side of the nip at the main rollers.
This device performs a check of the operation between transmitter and receiver.
When an error is detected (e.g. the signal is interrupted) the motor controller will be
disabled and the motor will stop.
The stop signal from the optical device is overruled when:
• The machine is running in reverse direction,
• The slow mode has been activated and the footswitch is pressed.
Safety footswitch
The safety footswitch is used as remote control to start and stop the machine in the normal
and the slow mode.
WARNING:
THE OPTICAL SAFETY DEVICE IS DISENGAGED WHEN USING THE
SAFETY FOOTSWITCH IN SLOW MODE.
SO, KEEP CLEAR OF THE NIP WHEN PRESSING THE FOOTSWITCH,
WHILE SLOW MODE IS ACTIVE.
The safety footswitch is protected with a safety lock to prevent accidental switching.
Insert the forefoot completely to disengage this lock.
Slow mode
The slow mode is used when setting up the machine with new films or images.
In slow mode the machine is started with the footswitch and will then run at slow speed so
that the operator has both hands free to position and feed new film or image correctly into
the machine.
