The Operational Qualification may only be performed by persons 
qualified to properly perform the specified checks based on their 
educational background, training, knowledge, and experience. 
Furthermore, the persons performing the checks must not be bound by 
any directives when performing this activity.

Only for Operational 
Qualification

The following information is only intended for the operational 
qualification. It is not applicable for operational requalification of devices 
that have been removed from service or temporarily shut down.

Specifications

– Observe the information on the specifications.

– Specific connection and performance data must be taken from the 

Specifications chapter.

Electromagnetic radiation

Do not use devices emitting electromagnetic radiation (e.g., walkie-
talkies, mobile phones, radio transmitters) in the vicinity of the device in 
operation. This may cause a malfunction of the device.

Power plug

The power plug must be easily accessible.

Use of spare parts

Any installation, modification or repair work requiring the device to be 
opened may only be performed by manufacturer-authorized persons 
and is permitted only when using original spare parts.

Test equipment and 
accessories

The activities described in this document require the availability of the 
necessary technical test equipment and accessories.

Precautions

Before turning power on, repair any visible damage.

Prior to opening the device and when working on the open device, the 
following precautions must be observed:

Protect the components against ingress of fluids.

Do not touch live parts.

Disconnect and connect all jacks, connectors and components only 
when the device is turned off.

ESD precautions
