INSTALLATION
4.1 General Warnings
These instructions have been designed to assist users of the Dieselguard System with installation.
Before the Dieselguard System can be installed, there are a number of things that need to be considered
and understood to prevent incorrect or unsafe operation of the Dieselguard System or the system into
which it is installed.
Along with relevant competence, and an understanding of the target application, the following points
should be considered:
4.1.1 Ensure that the information provided in this user manual is fully understood.
It is extremely important that the limitations and functionality of the Dieselguard System are understood
to prevent incorrect installation and use from creating a potentially dangerous risk. If in doubt as to the
nature of the limitations or their implication, consult a competent authority such as a supervisor or
Ampcontrol technical representative.
4.1.2 Ensure that the application into which the Dieselguard System is being installed
has been properly defined, designed and approved.
Any system intended to mitigate the risk of injury needs to be properly designed and implemented. Such
a system must be the result of structured risk analysis with the outcomes used to define the system
requirements. These requirements, in turn, will guide the choice of instrumentation, logic solvers and
actuators needed to implement the system. Understanding the needs of the system will ensure proper
selection of equipment.
4.1.3 Ensure that the Dieselguard System will properly perform the required functions
within the system design.
It is important to understand how the Dieselguard System is intended to interact with other equipment
within a system. For safe and reliable use, it is crucial that neither the Dieselguard System logical
operation nor its signalling be compromised by incompatibilities with connected equipment.
4.1.4 Modifications of any form to the Dieselguard System are prohibited.
The Dieselguard System as supplied has been designed and manufactured to comply with the
requirements of protection standards. If modifications of any form are made to the Dieselguard System,
the equipment may no longer be fit for use. If any modifications or damage to the Dieselguard System is
evident, do not use the equipment and contact Ampcontrol for advice.
4.2 Mandatory Installation Practices
The following information must be adhered to when installing the Dieselguard System. Failure to adhere
to this information may give rise to unsafe operation.
Using the Dieselguard System in a manner that exceeds its electrical, functional or physical
specifications, or in a way that is contrary to its operating restrictions, may create risks to personnel
and/or equipment resulting in injury or death.
The Dieselguard System must be powered within the specified voltage range.
The installation of the Dieselguard System must be carried out by suitably trained and qualified
personnel.
Identification labels fixed to the Dieselguard System must not be damaged, removed or covered
before, during or after installation.
The installation is to be in accordance with the relevant installation Standards/Codes of Practice.
