7.1 Risk assessment for radio remote controlled Machines
The Manufacturer of the Machine on which the Radio Remote Control is to be in󰘵alled shall
make a full and proper risk assessment to determine whether the use and in󰘵allation of the
Autec Radio Remote Control is appropriate for the safe and effective operation of the Machine
by a Radio Remote Control in the facility and for the purposes intended, also taking into account
the reasonably foreseeable misuse, so that the in󰘵allation, 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 󰘵andards (all
of the foregoing referred to herein as “Laws, Regulations and Standards”).
When carrying out the risk assessment to determine whether the Radio Remote Control may
be in󰘵alled on a Machine, the Manufacturer and/or In󰘵aller of the Radio Remote Control mu󰘵
comply with all Laws, Regulations and Standards, even local, regarding safety of the Machine
and/or the in󰘵allation, as well as the following warnings:
- Some Machines cannot be operated with a Radio Remote Control, such as set forth in
paragraph 6.1).
- The radio link between the Units might be interrupted (see paragraph 4.1).
- All warnings regarding the in󰘵allation, use and maintenance provided by Autec (see chapters
6, 8 and 9 ) mu󰘵 be considered.
- The "Take & Release" Radio Remote Control consi󰘵s of two Transmitting Units.
- 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).
- The Machine may be subject to 󰘵resses that might generate dangerous situations (by way of
example: inertia, swinging load…) if, when a movement is performed, a joy󰘵ick is released
very fa󰘵, or the 󰘵op function is enabled.
