FIRE SAFETY
The components used in Barcrest products are in the main, housed in a heat resistant material.
NB: Where component parts are replaced; only components of identical value must be used and that
the correct polarity be observed during insertion.
Severe electrical overload conditions could create sufficient heat so as to ignite chemicals within
components themselves, other components in close proximity, machine wiring harnesses etc.
Materials used, which are in the fire hazard category, are:
Material
Hazard
Plastic laminates
If ignited, wire insulation, rubber and plastic mouldings, etc. release noxious
vapours, which may cause irritation if inhaled.
Glass
If exposed to extreme heat, glass will crack creating risk of injury.
Electrolytic
Capacitors/ Batteries
There is a risk of these components exploding if subjected to fire
Harnesses
If ignited, toxic fumes are released: carbon monoxide & hydrogen chloride.
1.4
COMPONENT DISPOSAL
Electronic components should not be incinerated due to the risk of explosion or release of noxious fumes
Lithium batteries
Lithium batteries as used in Barcrest products must only be replaced with the same or an equivalent type
as recommended by the manufacturer. There is a danger of explosion if the battery is incorrectly
replaced. The MPU battery is a button cell
type which is located on the printed circuit board. It’s location
is obvious upon removing the plastic case of the MPU and it may be easily removed without the aid of a
tool. The PC also contains a similar battery. This battery is located on the motherboard and it too may
be removed without the aid of a tool.
Disposal
In accordance with the EU Batteries Directive, where the primary objective is to minimise the negative
impact of waste batteries and accumulators on the environment, thus contributing to the protection,
preservation and improvement of the quality of the environment, batteries must not be disposed of in
domestic waste. Batteries may only be disposed of in a manner described by the battery manufacturer,
or returned to the manufacturer for safe disposal.
