Handling of disposal
The incorrect handling of disposal may impair the product's safety
and cause serious injuries as well as considerable material and
environmental harm.
• Follow local regulations on dispatching product components for
recycling or proper disposal.
2.12 Fundamental dangers
2.12.1 Protection against electric shock
Work on electric equipment
Touching live parts can result in death.
• Work on electrical installations must be performed only by
electricians in accordance with the electrical regulations.
• Observe the general installation and safety regulations
concerning work on high-voltage systems.
• Lay electrical cables correctly, e.g. in a cable duct or cable
protector. Observe standards.
• Before connecting or disconnecting electric cables, switch off
the power supply and check that lines are dead. Secure power
supply against reactivation.
• Before switching on the product, check whether the protective
conductor on all electrical components has been installed
correctly according to the connection diagram.
• Check whether covers and safety equipment to prevent contact
with live components have been installed.
• Do not touch the connecting elements of the product when the
power supply is switched on.
Possible electrostatic energy
Components or assembly groups may become electrostatically
charged. When the electrostatic charge is touched, the discharge
may trigger a shock reaction leading to injuries.
• The operator must ensure that all components and assembly
groups are included in the local potential equalisation in
accordance with the applicable regulations.
• While paying attention to the actual conditions of the working
environment, the potential equalisation must be implemented
by a specialist electrician according to the applicable
regulations.
• The effectiveness of the potential equalisation must be verified
by executing regular safety measurements.
