Magnetic Hazards
The MagneMover LITE transport system uses high strength Neodymium Iron Boron (NdFeB)
magnets in the magnet arrays that are attached to the vehicles (pucks). The proper precautions
for using high strength magnets must be observed.
MAGNETIC FIELD HAZARD: Strong magnets in use.
To avoid severe injury, people with pacemakers and other
medical electronic implants must stay away from the magnet
array on the vehicles (pucks).
PINCH/CRUSH HAZARD: Strong magnets in use.
To avoid injury from strong magnetic attractive forces:
• Handle only one vehicle (puck) or magnet array at a time.
• Do not place any body parts (for example, fingers)
between a magnet array and any ferrous material or
another magnet array.
• Vehicles (pucks) and magnet arrays not being used must
be secured individually in isolated packaging.
NOTICE Strong magnets in use.
To avoid damage to watches, instruments, electronics, and
magnetic media, keep metal tools, metal objects, magnetic
media (for example, memory disks/chips, credit cards, and
tapes) and electronics away from the magnet arrays.
