2.1 

Use of the Manual 

  Any person who is going to work with the device must have read and understood the operating man-

ual before beginning. 

  Operation and maintenance of the system is only to be performed by trained personnel. 

  This manual is to be kept and handed over when passed on. 

 
 

2.2 

Supplementary Information about the Operation 

The following symbol is used to simplify the search for useful information: 

 

 

NOTE: 

This combination of symbol and signal word indicates a potentially hazardous situation 

that can lead to property and environmental damage if not avoided. 

 

 

INFO: 

This symbol indicates useful tips, recommendations and information for efficient and 

trou-ble free operation. 

 
 

2.3 

Responsibility of the Operator 

If the device is used in the commercial sector the operator is subject to the legal responsibilities for 
workplace safety. 
In addition to the safety instructions in this manual follow the regulations of safety, accident prevention 
and environmental protection. If the device is integrated into a system, the safety of the system in which 
the device is integrated is in the responsibility of the installer of the system. 

 
 

2.4 

Warning Notes 

The following symbols are used in this manual and may be stick on the device as a mark for infor-
mation, restrictions, preventive measures and safety instructions. This information indicates risks and 
how they can be avoided.
