Safety of Machinery
All machinery in which this product is used must comply with all federal, state, and local safety
standards. The level of integrity offered by the product’s control function – for example
stop/start, forward/reverse and maximum speed is not sufficient for use in safety-critical
applications without additional independent channels of protection. All applications where
malfunction could cause injury or loss of life must be subject to a risk assessment, and further
protection provided where needed.
Fuses
Fuses or over-current protection must be provided in accordance with the National Electrical
Code and any additional local codes.
Specific Safety Information
Users must determine the suitability of the control for their application, including the level of
reliability required, and are solely responsible for the function of the end-use product. These
controls contain exposed electrical components and are not intended to withstand exposure to
water or other environmental contaminants which can compromise insulating components. Such
exposure may result in insulation breakdown and accompanying localized electrical heating.
A control may remain permanently closed or open as a result of exposure to excessive mechanical,
electrical, thermal or environmental conditions or at normal end-of-life. If failure of the control
to operate could result in personal injury or property damage, the user should incorporate
supplemental system control features to achieve the desired level of reliability and safety. For
example, backup controls have been incorporated in a number of applications for this reason.
