1.4.1. General hazards
General Hazards on Non-Compliance with the Safety Instructions
The subsystem has been designed in accordance with state-of-the-art technical
developments and is operationally reliable. If it is not operated by qualified or at
least trained personnel or if it is operated improperly or not in accordance with the
operating instructions, however, the unit may bear the risk of hazards.
Electronic, moving and rotating components can
Danger for life and limb of the operator or third persons and / or
cause material damage
If the linear actuator is installed in a machine plant, the safety requirements noted
in the operating instructions for that machine must be combined with those
described in this manual.
1.4.2. Intended use
The linear actuator has a number of uses including:
Positioning, transporting, feeding, removing, pallet handling, loading, unloading,
processing and manipulating as well as testing work pieces or tools.
Since the component can be used in a very wide range of applications, the user is
responsible for its use in specific applications.
Please make sure that the mounting of parts or tools will not pose a threat to
persons or cause damages to any parts or devices. This also applies, for example,
to the case of a broken toothed belt (if existing).
The linear actuator must only be used in areas that are not accessible to persons
during operation.
If the linear actuator is used in areas accessible to people, it must be installed in
such a manner that no one can be endangered during operation.
1.4.3. Identifying Residual Dangers and Hazardous Areas
If there are still residual dangers present to persons or property from the linear
actuator in spite of operating it in a safe manner, the user must make reference to
these residual dangers through signs and written rules requiring appropriate
procedures.
The following safety signal words are used:
Danger! Indicates that an imminent hazardous situation may lead to death or serious bodily harm if
not prevented using appropriate safety measures.
Warning! Indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided using appropriate safety
measures, could result in serious or minor injury.
Caution! Indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided using appropriate safety
measures, may result in minor injury or material damage.

The following jobs must only be performed by appropriately trained and authorized
personnel:
Installation and set-up tasks on the linear actuator
Attaching safety limit switches (initiators)
Connecting the drive and testing the motion direction
Instructions for Special Hazards
The linear module must be fixed or supported in accordance with the indications in
this manual.
The operator must ensure that operation of the linear module does not cause any
danger.
If the linear module moves in hazardous areas, these areas can be safeguarded
with safety transmitter switches.
1.4.5. Safety Instructions for the Company Using the System
Supervisors must also become familiar with the entire chapter entitled "Safety" and
handling required on the linear actuator.
Supervisors must ensure that installation and operating personnel have read and
understand the chapter entitled "Safety" and the description of how to work with the
machine, and that they observe the instructions.
The manual must be available close to the linear module during the performance of
all tasks.
It is impermissible to operate the liner module if it is not in perfectly functional
condition.
Depending on the application, the operating company must provide for a suitable
separating safety fence. Access to the motion range during operation must be
prevented.
The user must make sure that the work area is protected by appropriate safety
devices.
1.4.6. Safety Instructions for Operating Personnel
Any work step that has a negative effect on the operating safety of the linear motor
module must be omitted.
Operating and supervisory personnel are required to check the linear actuator or
machine at least once per shift for externally visible damage or defects. Changes
that have occurred (including the operating behavior) that could have a negative
effect on the operating safety must be reported immediately.
Components and accessories are designed especially for this product. When
purchasing spare and wearing parts, use only original Parker parts. We note here
explicitly that we are unable to check or release spare parts or accessories that
were not provided by us. Installing and/or using such products may cause negative

changes in the required design properties in some circumstances, which in turn
could negatively effect the active and/or passive operating safety of the product.
The manufacturer is unable to accept any liability for damage caused by using non-
original parts and accessories.
Safety and protection devices are strictly NOT to be removed or bypassed or set
out of order.
Applicable requirements and national accident prevention regulations must always
be observed when installing and operating our linear motor module.
1.5 Packaging, storage, transport
First check
Check the packaging for damages.
Remove the packaging.
Do not discard the packaging; it is strongly recommended to use the original
packaging material for return deliveries.
Depending on the storage location, metal surfaces may have a temperature of
0 °C or below. Please provide appropriate worker protection (e.g. protective
gloves).
Please ensure that the consignment does correspond to your order.
Check the product for damages. Do never use a device which seems damaged.
Please read the installation manual carefully before installing or commissioning
the device.
Packaging material
The packaging material is inflammable, if it is disposed of improperly by
burning, lethal fumes may develop.
Transport
Make sure to transport the linear module always in a safe manner and with the aid
of suitable lifting equipment (Means of transport (see on page 9)).
Storage
The linear module must be stored evenly and without any mechanical load.
The stated storage temperature must be adhered to.
Disposal
We recommend to dispose of the respective materials in accordance with the
respectively valid environmental laws. The following table states the materials

1.5.1. Special notes on transport
Special notes on transport
Use only transport equipment with sufficient lifting capacity. When using ropes,
make certain they are not twisted or knotted. If you are using more than one rope,
all the ropes should be equally taut.
When transporting the ETH with a forklift, establish a condition of equilibrium and
secure the load if necessary.
Never step under overhead loads - danger of being injured!
Moving parts must always be secured against slipping or moving.
*By wrapping several turns of strong adhesive tape around the sliding carriage, which if possible is in
the centre of the profile, for example.
Note
Danger when transporting long actuators. Because the actuator bends under its own
weight, guiding accuracy may deteriorate significantly. In addition, the shape of the profile
may change and the travel behavior of the (sliding) carriage may be negatively affected.
Additional information on transport: (see on page 8)
In general no means of transport are needed for the LCB. The linear actuator can
be carried, depending on the size, by one or two persons.

1.6 Warranty conditions
User Conversions and Changes are Not Permitted
The linear actuator must not be changed in its design or in terms of safety without
our approval. Any change as defined here made by the user excludes any liability
on our part.
1.7 Conditions of utilization
General introductory notes
With this linear actuator you bought a product which was manufactured and tested
before delivery with the utmost care.
Please take your time to read the following notes which you ought to follow closely
during setup and operation.
The operation of the linear actuator is only permitted within the range of the limit
values stated in this manual.
Unless, all claims under the warranty will become void and a reduced service life
or even damages must be expected.
Please compare the operating data with the stated limit values especially
with reference to:
Stroke length and setting of the limit switches, those must be set so that there is a
sufficient safety travel at both ends of the travel stroke
Even if the limit switches were already mounted at our premises, they must be
adapted according to suitable values before operation!
Speed
Acceleration
Environmental conditions (e.g. temperature, contamination)
Please do take possible pulses caused by moved masses into consideration for
the operating data.
Note on the installation of the linear actuator
Do always use all available mounting possibilities and respect the requirements
listed in chapter "Preparations for substructure (see on page 11)",
"Fitting/mounting (see on page 12)".
If the motor used with the linear actuator should be able to exceed individual limit
values, the respective values for the motor must be limited in the control by
appropriate parameterization. The parameterization should even be reduced down
to the values necessary for operation.
The externally mounted end stops of the linear module may under no
circumstances be accessed during operation. The end stops are only intended for
safety purposes.
The lifetime of the linear actuator depends strongly on the degree of power
exploitation and on impermissible operating states occurring - even if only for a
short time.
