Preface
Dear Customer,
Thank you for choosing one of our company’s products. You have purchased a product which has
been manufactured to the latest technical standards. Read this operating and maintenance manual
carefully before you first use it. This is the only way to ensure that the product is safely and eco-
nomically used.
The documentation contains all the necessary specifications for the product, allowing you to use it
properly. In addition, you will also find information on how to recognize potential dangers, reduce
repair costs and downtime, and increase the reliability and working life of the product.
All safety requirements and specific manufacturer’s requirements must be fulfilled before the prod-
uct is put into operation. This operating and maintenance manual supplements any existing
national regulations on industrial safety and accident prevention. This manual must also be acces-
sible to personnel at all times and also be made available where the product is used.
Structure of the manual
The manual is divided into several chapters. Each chapter has a clear heading which tells you what it
describes.
The numbered chapters correspond to the standard chapters for a product. They contain all the
detailed information on your product.
Chapters numbered alphabetically are added for specific customers. They contain information
including the selected accessories, special coatings, connection diagrams and the declaration of
conformity.
The table of contents also acts as a brief reference, because all the important sections are given
headers. The header of each section is in the outside column, so that you can find everything, even
when skimming through the manual.
All important operating and safety instructions are highlighted. You can find detailed information
on the structure of these texts in chapter 2, “Safety”.
Personnel qualification
All personnel who work on or with the product must be qualified for such work; electrical work, for
example may only be carried out by a qualified electrician. The entire personnel must be of age.
Operating and maintenance staff must also work according to local accident prevention regula-
tions.
It must be ensured that personnel have read and understood the instructions in this operating and
maintenance handbook; if necessary this manual must be ordered from the manufacturer in the
required language.
Illustrations
The illustrations used are of dummies and original drawings of the products. This is the only realis-
tic solution for our wide range of products and the differing sizes enabled by the modular system.
More exact drawings and specifications can be found on the dimension sheet, the planning infor-
mation and/or the installation plan.
