1 - SAFETY CONSIDERATIONS
1.1 - Safety guidelines
Installation, start-up and servicing of equipment can be
hazardous if certain factors particular to the installation are
not considered: operating pressures, electrical components,
voltages and the installation site (elevated plinths and
built-up structures).
Only qualified installation engineers and fully trained
technicians are authorised to install and start the equipment.
All instructions and recommendations provided in the
service guide, installation and operation manuals, as well as
on tags and labels fixed to the equipment, components and
other accompanying parts supplied separately, must be read,
understood and followed. Failure to comply with the
instructions provided by the manufacturer may result in
injury or product damage.
• Apply all safety standards and practices.
• Wear safety glasses and gloves.
• Use the proper tools to move heavy objects. Move
units carefully and set them down gently.
1.2 - Safety precautions
Only personnel qualified in accordance with IEC
(International Electrotechnical Commission)
recommendations may be permitted access to electrical
components. It is particularly recommended that all
sources of electricity to the unit should be shut off before
any work is begun. Shut off the main power supply at the
main circuit breaker or isolator.
CAUTION: The equipment uses and emits electromagnetic
signals. Tests have shown that the equipment conforms to
all applicable codes with respect to electromagnetic
compatibility.
RISK OF ELECTROCUTION: Even when the main
circuit breaker or isolator is switched off, specific circuits
may still be energised as they may be connected to a
separate power source.
RISK OF BURNS: Electrical currents may cause
components to get hot. Handle power cable, electrical
cables and conduits, terminal box covers and motor frames
with great care.
