INSTALLATION
4.1 General Warnings
These instructions have been designed to assist users of the OCS with installation.
Before the OCS can be installed, there are a number of things that need to be considered and
understood to prevent incorrect or unsafe operation of the OCS or the system into which it is installed.
Along with relevant competence, and an understanding of the target application, the following points
should be considered:
4.1.1 Ensure that the information provided in this user manual is fully understood.
It is extremely important that the limitations and functionality of the OCS are understood to prevent
incorrect installation and use from creating a potentially dangerous risk. If in doubt as to the nature of
the limitations or their implication,
refer to the installation’s safety dossier or consult a competent
authority such as a supervisor or Ampcontrol technical representative.
4.1.2 Ensure that the application into which the OCS is being installed has been
properly defined, designed and approved.
Any system intended to mitigate the risk of injury needs to be properly designed and implemented.
Such a system must be the result of structured risk analysis with the outcomes used to define the
system requirements. These requirements, in turn, will guide the choice of instrumentation, logic
solvers and actuators needed to implement the system. Understanding the needs of the system will
ensure proper selection of equipment.
4.1.3 Ensure that the OCS will properly perform the required functions within the
system design.
It is important to understand how the OCS is intended to interact with other equipment within a system.
For safe and reliable use, it is crucial that neither the
OCS’s logical operation nor its signalling be
compromised by incompatibilities with connected equipment.
4.1.4 Modifications of any form to the OCS are prohibited.
The OCS as supplied has been designed and manufactured to comply with the requirements of
protection standards. If modifications of any form are made to the OCS, the equipment may no longer
be fit for purpose. If any modifications or damage to the OCS is evident, do not use the equipment and
contact Ampcontrol for advice.
