Daktronics M SERIES - Manual (Page 5)

Warnings, Cautions, and Notes
All Warning notes contained in this manual indicate information that may endanger personnel.
WARNING Before working on any of the Vortek hoists, the main electrical disconnect must be
turned off and locked out according to OSHA regulations 29 CFR 1910.147.
The Daktronics rigging system is designed to raise and lower theatrical equipment under the rated hoist capacity
ONLY. This system is NOT designed to lift or lower personnel, and should never be used for that purpose.
Only trained and authorized personnel should be permitted to operate the Daktronics system. The unauthorized use,
alteration, or use for purposes other than those for which it was designed may cause injury to persons, damage to
the equipment, or create conditions which could lead to fatalities. All proper safety considerations must be observed.
While operating the Daktronics rigging system, a spotter must be used in conjunction with the user at all times. The
spotter must have a clear view of all moving elements while maintaining contact with the user. If an unsafe situation occurs, the
spotter must immediately signal the user to halt all movements until the environment is cleared of any person or obstruction.
All installation and maintenance involving the Vortek drive unit itself or the main electrical control cabinets will
require trained personnel. Simple daily maintenance activities such as cleaning of the touchscreen and the
M Series controller workstation may be carried out by the operators, and in most cases will be all that is needed
once installed.
Electrical Safety—General Warning
WARNING The voltages used in the motor drive and master control panels can cause severe electrical
shock and/or burns. Extreme care is necessary at all times when working with the motor
drives. Only authorized personnel should carry out any installation, commissioning, or
maintenance of the electrical systems. All drive systems have been tuned at the factory
and will not require any additional alteration or adjustment by the owner’s personnel
unless specifically authorized by a Daktronics representative.
