Inspection Inspect packaging to make certain no damage has occurred in shipment. Any
damage or suspected damage must be immediately documented. Claims for
damage due to shipment are usually made against the transportation company.
Contact Allen-Bradley immediately for further advice.
Be sure the information listed on the purchase order correlates to the information
on the packing slip for your linear stage and its accessories. Inspect the assemblies
and confirm, if applicable, the presence of specified options.

IMPORTANT Any person that teaches, operates, maintains, or repairs these linear stages
must be trained and demonstrate the competence to safely perform the
assigned task.
ATTENTION: Direct drive linear stages contain powerful permanent magnets
that require extreme caution during handling. Do not disassemble the linear
stage. The forces generated by permanent magnets are very powerful and can
cause bodily injury.
Persons with pacemakers or automatic implantable cardiac defibrillators
(AICD) must maintain a minimum distance of 0.3 m (12 in.) from magnet
assemblies.
Additionally, unless absolutely unavoidable, a minimum distance of 1.5 m (5 ft)
must be maintained between magnet assemblies and other magnetic or ferrous
composite materials. Calipers, micrometers, laser equipment, and other types of
instrumentation must be nonmetallic.
