WARNING
Active implant malfunctions due to electromagnetic fields
Electromagnetic fields (EMF) are generated by the operation of electrical power equipment,
such as transformers, converters, or motors. People with pacemakers or implants are at
particular risk in the immediate vicinity of this equipment.
•
If this affects you, maintain the minimum distance to such equipment that is specified in
the "Intended use" chapter.
WARNING
Active implant malfunctions due to permanent-magnet fields
Even when switched off, electric motors with permanent magnets represent a potential risk
for persons with heart pacemakers or implants if they are close to converters/motors.
•
If this affects you, maintain the minimum distance to such equipment that is specified in
the "Intended use" chapter.
•
When transporting or storing permanent-magnet motors always use the original packing
materials with the warning labels attached.
•
Clearly mark the storage locations with the appropriate warning labels.
