WARNING!
The ionizing unit may influence heart
pacemakers.
The electric high voltage in the ionizing
unit results in an electric alternating
field of 50 Hz which may influence the
function of the heart pacemaker.
Malfunction of the heart pacemaker
may result in ventricular fibrillation or
cardiac arrest.
•
Persons wearing heart
pacemakers must maintain a
safety distance of more than 50
cm from the ionizing unit.
•
The operator must mark the
danger zone around the ionizing
unit by means of a warning sign.
•
The accident prevention
regulations according to BGV A8
must be observed.
•
An expert study on the influence of
ionization systems on implanted
heart pacemakers is available from
HAUG GmbH & Co. KG.
CAUTION!
Injuries may be caused by the ionizing
pins of the ionizing unit.
When touched, the ionizing pins may
lead to stab or tear injuries to the
hands.
•
Protective gloves must be worn
when working on the ionizing unit
(EN 388 3122).
During operation, small amounts of
ozone are generated by the ionizing
units.
A very high ozone concentration and
prolonged continuous exposure times
may result in headache, irritation to the
eyes, circulatory problems etc.
•
To ensure that the maximum
permissible ozone concentration
at the workplace is not exceeded,
adequate ventilation must be
provided during operation of the
ionizing units.
•
An expert study on ozone
emissions of ionization systems is
available from HAUG
