recycling or proper disposal.
2.12 Fundamental dangers
General
• Observe safety distances.
• Never deactivate safety devices.
• Before commissioning the product, take appropriate protective
measures to secure the danger zone.
• Disconnect power sources before installation, modification,
maintenance, or calibration. Ensure that no residual energy
remains in the system.
• If the energy supply is connected, do not move any parts by
hand.
• Do not reach into the open mechanism or movement area of
the product during operation.
2.12.1 Protection during handling and assembly
Incorrect handling and assembly
Incorrect handling and assembly may impair the product's safety
and cause serious injuries and considerable material damage.
• Have all work carried out by appropriately qualified personnel.
• For all work, secure the product against accidental operation.
• Observe the relevant accident prevention rules.
• Use suitable assembly and transport equipment and take

10.00 | SRU | Assembly and Operating Manual | en | 389439
Page 15
2.12.2 Protection during commissioning and operation
Falling or violently ejected components
Falling and violently ejected components can cause serious injuries
and even death.
• Take appropriate protective measures to secure the danger
zone.
• Never step into the danger zone during operation.
2.12.3 Protection against dangerous movements
Unexpected movements
Residual energy in the system may cause serious injuries while
working with the product.
• Switch off the energy supply, ensure that no residual energy
remains and secure against inadvertent reactivation.
• Never rely solely on the response of the monitoring function to
avert danger. Until the installed monitors become effective, it
must be assumed that the drive movement is faulty, with its
action being dependent on the control unit and the current
operating condition of the drive. Perform maintenance work,
modifications, and attachments outside the danger zone
defined by the movement range.
Basic safety notes
• To avoid accidents and/or material damage, human access to
the movement range of the machine must be restricted. Limit/
prevent accidental access for people in this area due through
technical safety measures. The protective cover and protective
fence must be rigid enough to withstand the maximum possible
movement energy. EMERGENCY STOP switches must be easily
and quickly accessible. Before starting up the machine or
automated system, check that the EMERGENCY STOP system is
working. Prevent operation of the machine if this protective
equipment does not function correctly.

2.12.4 Protection against electric shock
Possible electrostatic energy
Components or assembly groups may become electrostatically
charged. When the electrostatic charge is touched, the discharge
may trigger a shock reaction leading to injuries.
• The operator must ensure that all components and assembly
groups are included in the local potential equalisation in
accordance with the applicable regulations.
• While paying attention to the actual conditions of the working
environment, the potential equalisation must be implemented
by a specialist electrician according to the applicable
regulations.
• The effectiveness of the potential equalisation must be verified
by executing regular safety measurements.

5.1 Assembling and connecting
WARNING
Risk of injury due to unexpected movements!
If the power supply is switched on or residual energy remains in
the system, components can move unexpectedly and cause
serious injuries.
• Before starting any work on the product: Switch off the power
supply and secure against restarting.
• Make sure, that no residual energy remains in the system.
NOTICE
Material damage due to faulty settings and assembly.
If the end position is approached too aprubtly, the product may
be damaged.
• Ensure the turning / swiveling movement is carried out
without bouncing or bumping.
• Therefore provide sufficient throttling and damping.
• Please observe the information in the catalog data sheet.
NOTICE
Risk of damage to the product!
If during first actuation the exhaust throttle valves are open, the
product may move in an uncontrolled manner.
• Before actuation, check that the exhaust throttle valves are
closed and if necessary close any open ones completely.
NOTE
• Observe the requirements for the compressed air supply,
Technical data [}19].
• In case of compressed air loss (cutting off the energy line), the
product loses its dynamic effects and does not remain in a
secure position. However, the use of a SDV-P pressure
maintenance valve is recommended in this case in order to
maintain the dynamic effect for some time.

Damage to the rotary module possible!
The rotary module can be damaged if it arrives too abruptly in
the end position.
• The rotary motion must reach the end position without jerk or
bounce.
• Therefore flow control valves and shock absorbers must be
used, Setting the speed [}32] and Adjustment of the shock
absorber stroke [}34].
• Please observe the information in the catalog pages.
6.1 Setting the speed
NOTICE
Risk of damage to the product!
If the end position is approached too hard, the product may be
damaged.
• Adjust exhaust throttle valve and shock absorber so that the
movement is braked smoothly.
Ø Close exhaust throttle valve completely.
Ø Open exhaust throttle valve until the product starts to move.

Commissioning
Ø Continue to open the exhaust throttle valve incrementally until
the movement decelerates smoothly.
✓ If the speed is too low, the product will brake too soon and
the end position will be reached too slowly.
✓ If the speed is too high, the product will impact against the
end position and the shock absorber will be overloaded.
NOTE
A smooth motion may also be too slow in many use-cases.
Further settings can be made via the shock absorbers, Adjustment
of the shock absorber stroke [}34].

6.2 Adjustment of the shock absorber stroke
NOTE
When received from the factory, the unit is set to utilize the
maximum shock absorber stroke.
The shock absorber stroke is too long and the end position is
reached too slowly.
The shock absorber stroke is too short and the unit arrives in the
end position too abruptly.
Optimal shock absorber stroke.
