2.3 Product safety
The device conforms to the state of the art at the time of delivery and is fundamentally considered to
be reliable. The device and its accessories must only be used in a
awless condition and installed and
operated in compliance with the operating instructions. Operating outside the device's technical
speci
cations (
F
rating plate and attachment / technical data) can lead to a defect in the device and
additional damage!
In the case of a malfunction or a failure of the equipment check all functions with alarms in
order to prevent injury to persons or property. Note possibility of back-up operation. If used in
intensive animal environments, any malfunctions in the air supply must be detected as soon
as possible to prevent the development of a life-threatening situation for the animals. The
design and installation of the system must comply with local regulations and directives. In
Germany these include DIN VDE 0100, the animal protection and the keeping of working
animals ordinance and the pig-keeping ordinance etc. Also note the instructions of AEL, DLG,
VdS.
2.4Requirements placed on the personnel / due diligence

jobs.
In addition, they must be knowledgeable about the safety regulations, EU directives, rules for the
prevention of accidents and the corresponding national as well as regional and in-house regulations.
Personnel to be trained or instructed and apprentices are only permitted to work on the device under
the supervision of an experienced person. This also applies to personnel undergoing general training.

2.5 Start-up and during operation
Attention!
During commissioning, unexpected and hazardous conditions can arise in the entire installation due to
defective adjustments, defective components or incorrect electrical connections. Remove all persons
and objects from the hazardous area.
During operation, the device must be closed or installed in a control cabinet. Fuses may only be
replaced by new ones and must not be repaired or bypassed. The data for the maximum line fuse are
to be considered absolutely (
F
Technical data). Use only fuses speci
ed in schematic diagrams.
Any faults detected in the electric system/modules/operating equipment must be corrected
immediately. If these faults are not corrected, the device/system is potentially very dangerous. The
device/system must therefore not be operated when it is faulty.
