Introduction and Warnings

MAP-6 is a pneumatic magnet meant for attaching ferromagnetic parts in lifting, work holding or
automation applications. The magnet’s state, attached or detached, can be changed pneumatical­ly. MAP-6 pneumatic magnet doesn’t need compressed air to keep its state. Air pressure is needed
only to change the state from attached to detached or vice versa.

• Please read this manual carefully before deployment to ensure safe use of the device.

• This device includes a source of magnetic field. A fluctuating magnetic field is produced

during the use in the proximity of the device.

• This device produces a magnetic field that may interfere with medical devices such as

metallic implants or cardiac pacemakers. Do not use this device and keep out of close
proximity unless you have approval from the manufacturer of the medical device or from

your physician.

• Do not disassemble or replace the device parts. Only pneumatic connectors are user
changeable.

• The device must not be used for lifting or transporting people.

• Always pay special attention to the factors that may decrease the holding force of the

magnet.

• The permitted holding force must not be exceeded.

• Do not operate a damaged or malfunctioning device.

• The designer and manufacturer of other systems should always ensure that systems where

this device will be integrated to meet local and national safety regulations.

Information related to medical implants

- Safety distance for a person with active implanted device is 50 cm of air or other non­magnetic material. The distance is measured from the magnet or magnetic material
attached to it.

o Maximum static magnetic field of MAP-6 is 200 mT on the gripping surface.
o Interference with active implanted devices, e.g. cardiac pacemakers – Action level for expo-

sure to static magnetic fields is 0,5 mT [Directive 2013/35/EC].
