The following, in particular, applies:
n The operating company must be familiar with the applicable
health and safety regulations and must compile a risk assess-
ment to identify additional hazards that arise due to the specific
working conditions at the PF55S installation site. The owner
must implement this in the form of operating instructions for
using the PF55S.
n The operating company must define the work areas and
danger zones.
n The operating company must define a procedure for preventing
the higher-level production equipment from being turned on
unintentionally. The description in this manual refers to the
sensor PF55S only.
n The operating company must request and regularly evaluate
and update the safety data sheets for the operations and
process equipment used. He must produce operating instruc-
tions for handling the operations and process equipment safely.
n Throughout the entire operating life of the PF55S, the oper-
ating company must check whether the operating instructions
he created correspond with the latest regulations and must
adjust them as necessary.
n The owner must clearly regulate and specify in writing the
responsibilities for installation, operation, troubleshooting,
maintenance and cleaning.
n The operating company must ensure that all persons handling
the PF55S have read and understood this manual. Further-
more, he must also train the personnel and inform them about
the dangers at regular intervals. This training must be docu-
mented.
n The operating company must provide personnel with the nec-
essary protective equipment and instruct them of their obliga-
tion to wear the necessary protective equipment.
Furthermore, the operating company is responsible for perma-
nently maintaining the sensor PF55S and other components of the
production system in a perfect technical condition. The following
therefore applies:
n The operating company must ensure that the service intervals
described in this manual are adhered to.
n The operating company must carry out checks at regular inter-
vals, or at least following any maintenance work, to ensure that
the safety devices of all components of the production system
are functional.
n In the event of errors or irregular system behavior, the oper-
ating company must ensure that operation is stopped immedi-
ately, the cause is identified, and that the error is resolved
before operation is resumed.
n The operating company must ensure that it is always possible
to disconnect the sensor PF55S power and compressed air
system during maintenance and repair works.
