Hazards due to Electrical Energy
Warning!
When the cabinet is opened or casing is removed from system
components certain parts of the automation system are exposed.
These parts may be subject to dangerous high voltages.
Switch off the voltage before working on the devices. Prevent
short circuits when measuring live components.
The user must prevent any unauthorised and incorrect access to the
system (for example, by ensuring that the cabinet is locked).
Personnel must be familiar with all sources of danger and measures
for commissioning and maintaining the system in line with the
instructions given in this manual.
1.5
Maintenance
Measuring and testing on active devices must be carried out in
accordance with the regulations and instructions of national accident
prevention regulations such as VBG 4.0. The appropriate power tools
must be used.
Repairs on control components must be carried out at authorised
repair shops only. Opening the components and repairs by
unauthorised personnel may lead to personal injury or damage to
property.
Always disconnect the device from the mains before opening it (either
disconnect the mains plug or use the cut-out switch).
Control modules may only be replaced when the power is switched off.
Disassembly and assembly must be carried out according to the
directives for mechanical assembly.
Fuses may only be replaced with those types specified in Technical
Data.
Batteries may only be replaced with those types specified in Technical
Data. Batteries must always be disposed as hazardous waste.
1.6
Dealing with Used Batteries
When the batteries in the automation system are dead they must be
disposed of in a battery return system or through public waste
disposal facilities.
Batteries should be fully discharged before disposal. A battery is
discharged when the function of the device is impaired due to
insufficient battery capacity.
When batteries for disposal are not fully discharged precautions must
be taken to prevent short circuits. For example by sticking tape over
the poles of the battery.
