SAFETY DEVICES

We urge on you again that all safety devices are installed for the safety of the operator etc. and should not be bridged and put out of operation.

Refer to the drawing below for the applied references.

Survey control panel



A = Acoustic signal

B = Emergency stop

C = Main switch

D=crush-proof guard

E=crush-proof roll guard

C = Lockable main switch

The main supply (1x230V) is switched on and off with the main switch. The supply voltage for the control part (24VAC) is thus equally switched on and off.



D = crush-proof guard

This is a mobile crush-proof guard, interlocked by means of a micro switch. Any time underlying foreign matter comes into contact with the guard, it inverts the film carriage's motion for approximately 3 seconds and causes the turntable to stop in phase



E = crush-proof roll guard

This is a mobile crush-proof guard, interlocked by means of a micro switch. Any time foreign matter comes into contact with the guard, it will cause the error E8:SWITCH FILM ROLLES, and the motors will stop. After the cause is reset, it’s necessary to press the reset button to reset the normal machines operations thus the control voltage is activated again
