Risk assessment
AUTEC - Air series
2.1.2 Delay in command response time
Due to the characteristics of radio propagation (i.e.: EM interference, out-
of-working-range condition), a delay up to the "Maximum stop time" may
occasionally occur from the moment a command in the transmitting unit
is released to the moment its corresponding output in the receiving unit
is deactivated.
Those who decide upon the installation of the radio remote control must make sure that this
delay never leads to a dangerous situation in the specic uses.
2.1.3 Protection from unintended activation
The transmitting unit housing is manufactured so that it protects the actuators from unintentional
activation, while meeting at the same time the operating needs, the comfort requirements
and law limits.
Assessment shall be made to establish possible additional protection measures for the
actuators (i.e. commands requiring two-hand operation, “dead-man” function) if particular
environments, equipment and working modes could cause accidental bumps to the actuators.
2.1.4 Command activation and loss of command
Please consider that it is possible to unintentionally activate a command and/or involuntarily
lose the selection of a command. Such anomalous events may be caused by electro-mechanical
or mechanical damages in the "machine+radio remote control" system.
Carefully evaluate the possible consequences of such malfunction.
If required by the risk assessment, implement protection measures to prevent, reduce and
report potential hazardous situations.
2.2 Statraining
All installation, usage and maintenance operations must be carried out by qualied technicians
who are suitably trained with respect to:
- warnings resulting from risk assessment
- regulations and reference laws
- instructions and warnings provided in the documents related to the industrial radio remote
control and to the radio remote controlled machine
- instructions provided by those who install the radio remote control on the machine and
by the person in charge for safety in the workplace where the system "machine+radio
remote control" is used
2.3 Working conditions
To guarantee correct radio remote control operation, all current regulations regarding safety at
work and accident prevention should be respected. Furthermore, always respect all national
regulations regarding the use of both the machine and the radio remote control valid in the
country where the "machine+radio remote control" system is used.
Autec cannot be held responsible if the radio remote control is used in unlawful
working conditions.
