Safety Standards and
Precautions
All models of the MiniSafe MS4600 meet
ANSI/RIA R15.06-1999 (R2009) and ANSI
B11.19-2010. When used with mechanical
power presses, OSHA industrial safety
standards apply as stated in 1910.217(c).
For other applications, the machine
guarding requirements found in section
1910.212 apply. The MiniSafe MS4600
series meets ANSI control reliability re-
quirements for point-of-operation presence
sensing devices.
MS4600 systems have been EC type
examined to the requirements of IEC
61496-1, -2 for a Type 4 ESPE.
The MiniSafe MS4600 should only be
used on machinery that can consistently
and immediately stop anywhere in its cycle
or stroke. Never use a MiniSafe MS4600
on a full revolution clutched power press
or machine. If the light curtain does not
protect all access to the point of operation,
the unprotected access must be guarded
by other appropriate devices such as
mechanical guards.
The purchaser, installer and employer
have the responsibility to meet all local,
state and federal government laws, rules,
codes or regulations relating to the proper
use, installation, operation and mainte-
nance of this control and the guarded
machine. See the Installation and Opera-
tion Manual for additional information.
All application examples described are
for illustration purposes only. Actual instal-
lations will differ from those indicated.
