Industrial machines of this type are not addressed by these requirements. a) Protection Against Injury to Persons – Sections 32 – 36 and 41 ; b) Performance – Section 58; c) Markings – 70.1 (excluding electrical rating); and d) Instruction Manual – Section 71 . 1 .7 Insect and rodent-control equipment generating ultraviolet (UV) radiation are intended for use in accordance with the Code of Federal Regulations, the Performance Standards for Light-Emitting Products, 21 CFR, Part 1 040, Chapter 1 , Subchapter J. 1 .7 added September 1 8, 201 2
2 Glossary 2.1 For the purpose of this standard the following definitions apply. 2.2 APPLIANCE COUPLER – A single-outlet, female contact device for attachment to a flexible cord as part of a detachable power-supply cord to be connected to an appliance inlet (motor attachment plug). 2.3 APPLIANCE INLET (MOTOR ATTACHMENT PLUG) – A male contact device mounted on an end product appliance to provide an integral blade configuration for the connection of an appliance coupler or cord connector. 2.4 APPLIANCE (FLATIRON) PLUG – An appliance coupler type of device having a cord guard and a slot configuration specified for use with heating or cooking appliances. 2.5 AUTOMATIC SOLAR PANEL CLEANING SYSTEM – a household or commercial, outdoor use cleaning system primarily comprised of an irrigation controller, motor-operated water pump, electrically operated zone valves, and water nozzles. The system is intended to be hose-connected to a water supply rated less than 1 00 psig, and the water nozzles and associated zone valves are intended for rooftop or ground installation near the solar panels. No other electrical equipment of the system is intended for roof mounting.
2.6 AUTOMATICALLY CONTROLLED APPLIANCE – An appliance is considered to be automatically controlled if: a) The repeated starting of the appliance, beyond one complete predetermined cycle of operation to the point where some form of limit switch opens the circuit, is independent of any manual control; b) During any single predetermined cycle of operation, the motor is caused to stop and restart one or more times; c) Upon energizing the appliance, the initial starting of the motor may be intentionally delayed beyond normal, conventional starting; or d) During any single predetermined cycle of operation, automatic changing of the mechanical load may reduce the motor speed sufficiently to reestablish starting-winding connections to the supply circuit. 2.7 COMPONENT – A device or fabricated part of the appliance covered by the scope of a safety standard dedicated to the purpose. When incorporated in an appliance, equipment otherwise typically field installed (e.g. luminaire) is considered to be a component. Unless otherwise specified, materials that compose a device or fabricated part, such as thermoplastic or copper, are not considered components. 2.8 COUNTER-SUPPORTED APPLIANCE – An appliance that is physically supported by a counter, table or bench during the performance of its intended function. 2.9 CORD CONNECTOR – A female contact device wired on flexible cord for use as an extension from an outlet to make a detachable electrical connection to an attachment plug or, as an appliance coupler, to an equipment inlet.UL 73-2011 pdf download.
