Potential sources of danger
The
LambdaUnite
®
MSS equipment has been developed in line with the present
state-of-the-art and fulfils the current national and international safety requirements. It
is provided with a high degree of operational safety resulting from many years of
development experience and continuous stringent quality checks in our company.
The equipment is safe in normal operation. There are, however, some potential sources
of danger that cannot be completely eliminated. In particular, these arise during the:
•
opening of housings or equipment covers,
•
manipulation of any kind within the equipment, even if it has been disconnected
from the power supply,
•
disconnection of optical or electrical connections,
through possible contact with the following:
•
live parts,
•
laser light,
•
hot surfaces, or
•
sharp edges.
