Electromagnetic Fields
NOTE: Exposed or uninstalled carriers must have the protective cover of the drive magnets installed at all times. The cover is only removed at the time of carrier installation.
-
Carriers have strong local magnetic fields. Refer to Transporting the Lexium™ MC12 carriers.
-
The carriers have strong drive magnets and can attract metal objects that are in their proximity.
-
A carrier can move suddenly and fast due to magnetic attraction.

MAGNETIC FIELDS
-
Keep persons with medical implants (for example, pace makers or metal implants) or metallic body jewelry away from the carriers and segments with a minimum distance of 30 cm (11.9 in).
-
Always leave the protective cover of the drive magnets in place for all exposed or uninstalled carriers.
-
Do not put your hands or fingers between the carriers and segments.
-
Do not place metallic tools in the vicinity of the carriers and segments.
-
Do not place electromagnetically sensitive devices in the vicinity of the carriers and segments.
-
Do not place credit cards or electronic/magnetic media in the vicinity of the carriers and segments.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, serious injury, or equipment damage.

Use Original Equipment Only
Use only the accessories and mounting parts specified in the documentation and only third-party devices or components that have been expressly approved by Schneider Electric.

WARNING
|
|
UNINTENDED EQUIPMENT OPERATION
Only use hardware components approved by Schneider Electric for use with the system.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, serious injury, or equipment damage.
|
Handle the Carrier with Care
The carrier has two magnets which, together with the magnetic fields in the segments, move the carrier on the track. These two magnets are glued onto the carrier. A shock to the carrier can cause the glued-on magnets to flake off and the magnets can splinter.
In addition, the carrier has an encoder magnet. This can be demagnetized by improper handling, for example, if the magnets of another carrier come too close.

INOPERABLE EQUIPMENT
-
Handle the carrier with care.
-
Do not drop the carrier.
-
Do not strike the carrier.
-
Keep a minimum distance of 50 mm (1.97 in) between the encoder magnet and other magnets.
-
Ensure to fill the lubrication reservoirs of the carriers before first use.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, serious injury, or equipment damage.
