1.2 Warnings, Cautions, and Notes
There are three levels of special notation used in this manual. They are:
WARNING:
Injury or major equipment damage could result if the actions
indicated in a “WARNING” are not complied with. A warning statement
typically describes the hazard, its possible effect, and the measures that
must be taken to reduce the hazard.
CAUTION:
Damage to your equipment could result if the action specified
in the “

NOTE:
A “

” provides supplementary information, emphasizes a
point or procedure, or gives a tip for easier operation.
1.3 Safety
Reading and Training for Users and Operators
Adept systems can include computer-controlled mechanisms that are capable of moving
at high speeds and exerting considerable force. Like all robot and motion systems, and
most industrial equipment, they must be treated with respect by the user and the operator.
This manual should be read by all personnel who operate or maintain Adept systems, or
who work within or near the workcell.
We recommend you read the American National Standard for Industrial Robot Systems - Safety
Requirements, published by the Robotic Industries Association(RIA), in conjunction with
the American National Standards Institute. The publication, ANSI/RIA R15.06 - 1992,
contains guidelines for robot system installation, safeguarding, maintenance, testing,
start-up, and operator training.
We also recommend you read the European Standard EN 60204, Safety of Machinery –
Electrical Equipment of Machines, particularly if the country of use requires a CE-certified
installation. (See section C.1 on page 174 for ordering information for national and
international standards.)
This manual assumes that the user has attended an Adept training course and has a basic
working knowledge of the system. The user should provide the necessary additional
training for all personnel who will be working with the system.
There are several warnings in this manual that say only skilled or instructed persons
should attempt certain procedures. These are defined as:
