Intended use
IInstallation
and
startup may only be performed by trained
specialists with basic electrical knowledge.
Note the technical data! Use only any R/C cable (CYJV2/8
or CYJV/7) with suitable values to connect the sensors.
Qualified personnel are those who can recognize possible
hazards and institute the appropriate safety measures due
to their professional training, knowledge, and experience
as well as their understanding of the relevant conditions
pertaining to the work to be done.
The operator is responsible for ensuring that local safety
regulations are observed.
In particular the operator must take steps to ensure that a
defect in the BLA is not able to result in hazards to per-
sons or damage to equipment.
When defects or non-clearable faults occur in the BLA, it
should be taken out of service and secured against unau-
thorized use.
