7.1 Risk assessment for radio remote controlled Machines
The Manufacturer of the Machine on which the Autec Radio Remote Control is to be installed,
and its design professionals shall make a full and proper risk assessment to determine
whether the use and installation of the Autec Radio Remote Control is appropriate for the safe
and e󰘯ective operation of the Machine by a Radio Remote Control in the facility and for the
purposes intended, and that the installation, maintenance and operation of the Autec Radio
Remote Control and all of its components are done solely and completely in accordance with
this Manual, and with all local applicable laws, safety rules and standards (all of the foregoing
referred to herein as “Laws, Regulations and Standards”).
When carrying out its risk assessment to determine whether the Radio Remote Control
may be installed on a Machine, the Manufacturer and Installer must comply with all Laws,
Regulations and Standards, even local, regarding risk assessment and safety of the Machine
and/or the installation , as well as the following recommendations:
- Some Machines may not be operated with a Radio Remote Control, such as set forth
in paragraph 6.1). Consider any other conditions that may restrict, forbid or impose
conditions on the use of a Radio Remote Control on the Machine, or that may a󰘯ect its
correct use or its safety.
- The radio link between the two Units may be interrupted (see paragraph 4.1).
- All warnings for installation, use and maintenance provided by Autec must be considered
(see chapters 6, 8 and 9).
- There is a delay between the release of a command in the Transmitting Unit and the
deactivation of the corresponding output in the Receiving Unit (see paragraph 7.2).
- There is a delay between the activation of a command in the Transmitting Unit and the
activation of the corresponding output in the Receiving Unit (see paragraph 7.2).
- Additional protection measures for the actuators may be necessary (see paragraph 7.3).
- it is possible that a command be enabled or disabled due to electrical and/or mechanical
failure (see paragraph 7.4).
7.2 Delay in command response time
