Handling unmonitored areas
WARNING . . . UNMONITORED AREAS
The area behind and on either side, near the Scanner (in the figure below) is not monitored. It can create an access route to
the hazard point or a
blind zone where a person cannot be detected
. Make sure that this unmonitored area is minimized,
by recessing the Scanner into the machine or protecting it with supplemental guarding devices, so that no one can access this
area undetected.
Failure to do so could result in serious bodily injury or death.
The area behind the AG4 is not monitored. It must not be possible to walk in unmonitored areas.
