4.2.1 Heating and ventilation system

If a heating and ventilation system according to EN 474-1:1994, clause 4.2.2.6, is required the following applies. The heating and ventilation system shall:

— either comply with ISO 10263-4:1994— or have the capacity of increasing the temperature of the air inside the cab and maintain a temperature of + 18 °C at prevailing ambient temperature. The minimum capacity of the heating system shall have a %T of 25 °C measured at – 10 °C ambient temperature.

Measurement of the system capacity shall be made at three points. The three points shall be located in a vertical plane through the SIP parallel to the longitudinal axis of the machine as follows (see Figure 1):

— at filament position centre-point as defined in ISO 5006-1:1991;— at the SIP as defined in EN 25353:1988;— 100 mm above floor plate and 600 mm in front of the SIP.

Alternatively the heating capacity can be determined by calculation.The ventilation system shall be capable of providing the cab with filtered fresh air at the minimum of 43 m3/h. The filter should be tested according to ISO 10263-2:1994.NOTE The filter element selection depends on the operating environment conditions.

4.2.2 Rear windows

4.2.2.1 Visibility

EN 474-1:1994, clause 4.7.1, third paragraph, applies also for rear window(s) with the following provisions:

4.4.1.1.2 Emergency stop

The remote control box shall be fitted with an emergency stop that fulfils the requirements of 10.7 of EN 60204-1:1992.

4.4.1.1.3 Controls

The control box shall have clearly marked directions of movements for the machine and its attachment and be safeguarded against unintentional actuation e.g. pushbuttons with protective collars. It shall be possible to lock the controls in the deactivated mode against unintentional or unauthorized actuation.

4.4.1.2 Selecting switch

A selecting switch shall be located at the operator’s station for selecting main or remote controlled mode.
