Protective Measures to be taken by the Owner/Operator
The data transmission system is used in an industrial setting. The owner of the data transmission system is therefore subject to the
legal obligations concerning workplace safety. In addition to the safety instructions in this document, all safety, accident-prevention
and environmental regulations that apply where the data transmission system is used must also be observed. In particular, pay
attention to the following:
Work on electrical components of the system may only be carried out
when disconnected from the power supply.
The owner must become acquainted with the applicable occupational-safety regulations and perform a risk analysis to identify
additional hazards arising from the specific working conditions where the system is used. This knowledge must be
implemented in the form of operating instructions for the data transmission system.
For the entire time that the data transmission system is in use, the owner must check whether the operating instructions it has
produced correspond to the current regulatory situation and adjust them if necessary.
The owner must clearly regulate and define responsibilities for installation, operation, troubleshooting and maintenance.
The owner must ensure that all employees involved with the system have read and understood this installation manual. The
owner must also train the personnel at regular intervals and inform them of hazards.
The owner must provide personnel with the necessary protective equipment.
The owner must keep the keys for switching cabinets in a safe place. "Safe" means that only explicitly authorized personnel
may have access to the keys. The keys may only be issued to specialist personnel as described in chapter 2.2.1.
The owner must verify that the operating frequency of the data transmission system is permitted in the place of use.
