7.2 Maintenance instructions for magnetic coupling
WARNING
Danger of injury from strong magnetic field
There is a risk of injury for people with pacemakers and medical implants.
► Make sure that such individuals do not enter the sphere of influence (≤ 2 m) of the magnetic field.
► Identify rooms in which magnetic couplings are openly accessible with the symbol: "
No access
for people with pacemakers
".
► Always keep disassembled couplings away from computers, data carriers, and other electronic
components.
This safety note applies to
drive system disassembly
in pump versions with magnetic coupling.
