SL-V-M-NO0-E

Operators
• In order to operate the SL-V correctly, the responsible personnel and machine operators
must fulfill all of the procedures described in this user’s manual.
• No person other than the responsible personnel and machine operators should be allowed
to install or test the SL-V.
• When performing electrical wiring, always fulfill the electrical standards and regulations for
the country or region in which the SL-V is used.

Environment of use
• Do not use the SL-V in an environment (temperature, humidity, interfering light, etc.) that
does not conform to the specifications contained in this user’s manual.
• Be sure to confirm that the SL-V keeps normal operation when electromagnetic radiation is
generated by wireless devices. (If you use wireless devices such as cellular phones or trans-
ceivers in the vicinity of the SL-V.)
• The SL-V is not designed to be explosion-proof. Never use it in the presence of flammable
or explosive gases or elements.
• Be sure to confirm no deterioration in product quality if you use the SL-V in the presence of
substances, such as heavy smoke, particulate matter, or corrosive chemical agents.
• Do not install the SL-V in areas where the SL-V is exposed to intense interference light such
as direct sunlight, and direct or indirect light from inverter-type fluorescent lamp (rapid-start
type lamp, high-frequency operation type lamp, etc).
• Be sure to absolutely confirm that there is nobody in the hazardous zone, before the interlock is
released (i.e. the machine system restarts) by the interlock reset mechanism. Failure to follow this
warning results in a significant harm to the machine operators, including serious injury or death.
• Be sure to absolutely confirm that there is nobody in the hazardous zone, before the over-
ride function is activated. Failure to follow this warning results in a significant harm to the
machine operators, including serious injury or death.

Target machine
• The SL-V has not undergone the model certification examination in accordance with Article
44-2 of the Japanese Industrial Safety and Health Law. The SL-V, therefore, cannot be used
in Japan as a “Safety Device for Press and Shearing machines” as established in Article 42
of that law.
• The machine on which the SL-V is to be installed must be susceptible to an emergency stop at all
operating points during its operation cycle. Do not use the SL-V for machines with irregular stop times.
• Do not use the SL-V for power presses equipped with full-revolution clutches.
• The SL-V cannot be used as a PSDI because it does not fulfill the requirements of OSHA
1910.217(h). Refer to OSHA 1910.217 for the PSDI mode.
• Do not use the SL-V to control (stop forward motion, etc.) trains, cars and other transporta-
tion vehicles, aircraft, equipment for use in space, medical devices, or nuclear power gener-
ation systems.
• The SL-V is designed to protect the people or objects from going into/approaching detec-
tion zone against machine’s hazard or hazardous zone. It cannot provide protection against
objects or materials that are expelled from the machine’s hazard or hazardous zone, so you
must establish additional safety measures such as installing safeguards when there is the
possibility of such projectiles.
