1.6.2 Qualified 

Person 

Qualified Person

, by possession of a recognized degree or certificate of professional training, or by extensive knowledge, training and 

experience, has successfully demonstrated the ability to solve problems relating to the installation of the Scanner and its integration with the 

guarded machine. In addition to everything for which the Designated Person is empowered, the 

Qualified Person

 is empowered to: 

ƒ

 

Install the Scanner  

ƒ

 

Perform all Scanner checkout procedures 

ƒ

 

Access and change both the Scanner’s configuration settings and the password for accessing the configuration program. 

ƒ

 

Reset the system

Responsibility for Safety 

The responsibility for the proper use of the Scanner and compliance with the regulations and directives that apply in the country of use lies with 

the machine's manufacturer and operator. 

The machine manufacturer is responsible for:  

 

The safe design and construction of the machine. 

 

The safe implementation of the Scanner. 

 

The provision of all relevant information to the operator. 

 

Compliance with all regulations and directives for safely putting the machine into operation. 

The machine operator/supervisor is responsible for: 

 

Instructing the operator. 

 

Maintaining the safe operation of the machine. 

 

Compliance with all occupational health and safety at work regulations and directives. 

Passwords 

Improperly set parameters on the Scanner can cause serious accidents. The configuration of the Scanner is therefore protected by passwords. 

ƒ

 

Ensure that the passwords are kept locked away by the security officer. 

ƒ

 

The people responsible for the machine's safety must ensure that the appropriately Qualified Person can properly perform the tests and 
work on the machine and the Scanner in accordance with their intended use. 

1.8

 

Laser 

The Scanner has a Class 1 laser. Under normal 
conditions, no special precautions are necessary when 
working with or handling a Class 1 laser. Observe the 
applicable legal and local regulations for operating laser 

equipment.

High Voltage 

 WARNING . . . HIGH VOLTAGE EXISTS INSIDE THE AG4. 

Do not open the AG4 with power applied. In connection with fault diagnosis or repair, 

such as screen replacement, the unit should only be opened by a

 

Qualified Person

Otherwise return the Scanner to the factory for repair or replacement. Failure to 

observe this warning could result in serious injury or death.
