1.4. Safety instructions
Note:
The track occupancy indicator contains integrated circuits (ICs). These are sensitive to
electrostatic charging. Therefore, do not touch these components until you have
"discharged" yourself. For this purpose, e.g. a grip on a radiator is sufficient.
Improper use and non-observance of the instructions can lead to incalculable hazards. Prevent
these dangers by carrying out the following measures:

Only use the track occupancy indicator in closed, clean and dry rooms. Avoid moisture and
splash water in the environment. After condensation has formed, wait two hours for
acclimatisation before use.

Disconnect the track occupancy indicator from the power supply before carrying out wiring
work.

Supply the track occupancy indicator only with extra-low voltage as specified in the
technical data. Use only tested and approved transformers.

Only plug the mains plugs of transformers into properly installed and fused earthed sockets.

When making electrical connections, ensure that the cable cross-section is sufficient.

Heating of the track occupancy indicator during operation is normal and harmless.

Do not expose the track occupancy indicator to high ambient temperatures or direct
sunlight. Observe the information on the maximum operating temperature in the technical
data.

Regularly check the operational safety of the track occupancy indicator, e.g. for damage to
the connection cables.

If you notice damage or if malfunctions occur, disconnect the connection to the power
supply immediately. Send the track occupancy indicator in for inspection.
1.5. Care
Do not use any cleaning agents to clean the track occupancy indicator. Only wipe the track
occupancy indicator dry. Disconnect the indicator from the power supply before cleaning.
