CAUTION
Danger caused by ionising radiation
Shields usually contain radioactive sources. An increased exposure to radiation
may lead to damage to health.

Consult the radiation safety officer responsible for your company.

Ensure that no one is in the radiation beam during operation.

Longer repair and maintenance work on shields must not be carried out
with the source installed. If a removal of the source is not possible, please
contact the manufacturer.
IMPORTANT
The applicable national regulations of the country of use have to be observed.
IMPORTANT
Document the results of the tests you conducted using the check list in the
appendix. This documentation as well as the seal test certificates must be kept
during the entire life cycle of the shield.
NOTICE
Adjust the intervals of the visual inspection and the functional check to the
ambient conditions. If the ambient conditions are especially rough, the
atmosphere is corrosive and / or there is a serious threat of contamination, the
intervals should be shortened accordingly.
NOTICE
If damage affecting the secure function of the shield is detected during
handling, maintenance or regular checks, the damage must be repaired after
consultation with BERTHOLD TECHNOLOGIES GmbH & Co KG before the
system is used again. Only spare parts specified by
BERTHOLD TECHNOLOGIES GmbH & Co. KG may be used and required repair
work may be carried out exclusively by authorized persons.
