Safety Equipment for Operators

Adept Quattro s650 Robot User’s Guide, Rev B

33

All personnel must observe sound safety practices during the installation, operation, and
testing of all electrically powered equipment. To avoid injury or damage to equipment,
always remove power by disconnecting the AC power from the source before attempting
any repair or upgrade activity. Use appropriate lockout procedures to reduce the risk of
power being restored by another person while you are working on the system.

2.13 Safety Equipment for Operators

Adept advises operators to wear extra safety equipment in the workcell. For safety
reasons operators must wear the following when they are in the robot workcell.

• Safety glasses

• Protective headgear (hard hat)

• Safety shoes

Install warning signs around the workcell to ensure that anyone working around the
robot system knows they must wear safety equipment.

2.14 Protection Against Unauthorized Operation

The system must be protected against unauthorized use. Restrict access to the keyboard
and the pendant by locking them in a cabinet or use another adequate method to prevent
access to them.

2.15 Safety Aspects While Performing Maintenance

Only skilled persons with the necessary knowledge about the safety and operating
equipment are allowed to maintain the robot and controller.

DANGER:

Any person who programs, teaches, operates,

maintains or repairs the robot system must be trained and
demonstrate the competence to safely perform the
assigned task.

The user must get confirmation from every entrusted
person before they start working with the robot that the
person:

1. Has received the User’s Guide

2. Has read the User’s Guide

3. Understands the User’s Guide

4. Will work in the manner specified by the User’s Guide

WARNING:

During maintenance and repair, the power to

the robot and controller must be turned off. Unauthorized
third parties must be prevented, through the use of
lockout measures, from turning on power.
