DANGER – Personal Protective Equipment
Ensure safety glasses and other appropriate PPE are worn while working if any
part of the unit could be energized. Observe site requirements for PPE while
operating this equipment.
DANGER – Arc flash
Arc flash is a dangerous phenomenon associated with operation at low volt-
ages. It may be caused by switchgear failure, insulation breakdown or foreign
object intrusion. It may result in severe burns, severe eye injury, blindness or
death. To minimize the risk, keep all doors closed and covers in place while op-
erating the equipment. Observe any arc flash protection boundaries that may
be in place around the SFC enclosures.
DANGER – Potential material hazard of batteries and capacitors
If a capacitor is damaged electrically or physically, the resulting debris could
represent a material hazard. Refer to the appropriate Material Safety Data
Sheet for information on safe handling and disposal.
Table 3-2: Safety notices
Safety labels are attached to the enclosures to alert personnel of potential hazards when work-
ing on the equipment. The instructions on the safety labels must always be followed, and the la-
bels must be kept in a perfectly legible condition.

General safety information
3.2.1 Operator duties
The scope of work for an operator of the SureWave SFC is to control and monitor the SFC from
the GDM, digital I/O and or MODBUS interface, or from a remote web page. An operator is not
normally authorized to undertake any maintenance, service, or repair work.
The operator may be authorized to provide assistance to a maintenance, service or repair tech-
nician, by performing his or her duties under the direction of a service team. If so, the operator
must be wearing PPE to the same level as those of the service team.
3.2.2 Before energization
Before the SFC is energized, inspect to make sure:
any maintenance work being done on the SFC has been completed and signed off, and
all tools and equipment are removed.
All covers on the SFC enclosures are securely fastened, and all doors are closed, locked,
and/or bolted.
