The operator must be so positioned that he can see into the danger area and get out of harm’s way. In Manual High Velocity mode (T2): .. This mode may only be used if the application requires a test at a velocity higher than Manual Reduced Velocity. .. Teaching and programming are not permissible in this operating mode. .. Before commencing the test, the operator must ensure that the enabling devices are operational. .. The operator must be positioned outside the danger zone. .. There must be no other persons inside the safeguarded area. It is the responsibility of the operator to ensure this. 3.5.5 Automatic mode Automatic mode is only permissible in compliance with the following safety measures: .. All safety equipment and safeguards are present and operational. .. There are no persons in the system. .. The defined working procedures are adhered to. If the manipulator or an external axis (optional) comes to a standstill for no apparent reason, the danger zone must not be entered until an EMERGENCY STOP has been triggered. 3.5.6 Maintenance and repair After maintenance and repair work, checks must be carried out to ensure the required safety level. The valid national or regional work safety regulations must be observed for this check. The correct functioning of all safety circuits must also be tested. The purpose of maintenance and repair work is to ensure that the system is kept operational or, in the event of a fault, to return the system to an operational state. Repair work includes troubleshooting in addition to the actual repair itself. The following safety measures must be carried out when working on the industrial robot: .. Carry out work outside the danger zone. If work inside the danger zone is necessary, the user must define additional safety measures to ensure the safe protection of personnel. .. Switch off the industrial robot and secure it (e.g. with a padlock) to prevent it from being switched on again. If it is necessary to carry out work with the robot controller switched on, the user must define additional safety measures to ensure the safe protection of personnel. .. If it is necessary to carry out work with the robot controller switched on, this may only be done in operating mode T1. .. Label the system with a sign indicating that work is in progress. This sign must remain in place, even during temporary interruptions to the work. .. The EMERGENCY STOP systems must remain active. If safety functions or safeguards are deactivated during maintenance or repair work, they must be reactivated immediately after the work is completed.
