Possible existing additional safety fastenings of the mirror ball or other objects can be
connected with the lower eyebolt. In order to limit the dynamic load of the drive and
the attachment point at the mirror ball, the drop height must be restricted by a
corresponding calculation of the safety wire to less than 20 cm. The use of a safety
wire with a fall brake of the type “Major Saveking” is recommended.
The universal drive UA 500 is a product designed for the application on stages, which
is designed corresponding to the state-of-the-art in a way that risks can be largely
excluded. Nevertheless, drives and drive controls, which do not explicitly fulfill safety
functions, are, according to the general technical view, not permitted for applications
which may endanger persons due to the drive function. Unexpected or non-braked
movements can never be completely excluded without additional safety devices.
Therefore, persons must never stay in the danger zone of the drives, unless
additional adequate protective equipment excludes any danger to persons. This
applies both for the regular operation of the machine as for all maintenance and
commissioning works. In order to avoid personal injuries and damages to property,
adequate precautions shall be taken, if necessary.
The turning range of the driven element must not be entered by persons and / or
must be outside the hand area.
The commissioning, operation and maintenance may only be performed by trained
event technicians. These specialists must know and be familiar with the content of all
technical documentations of this product. Due to their technical training, knowledges
and experiences, these specialists must be able to recognize and avoid dangers.
The specialists must know the common standards, provisions and accident
prevention regulations, which must be complied with during installation, operation
and maintenance of the product. Damaged drives may neither be installed nor
commissioned in order to prevent personal injuries and damages to property.
Changes and modifications of the drives are not permitted and will result in the
voiding of all warranties and liabilities. Please observe that the drive may only be
operated in dry rooms (IP 40).
