WARNING!
When planning a lighting system with a AT-S
+
system
you first establish wether the proposed electrical
installations satisfy local environmental conditions .
Special environmental conditions (e . g . areas subject
to explosion hazards or areas with an aggressive
atmosphere) call for special equipments and instal-
lations .
Only operate the system and parts connected to it when
they are in a technically perfect condition, and comply with
•
the safety and hazard information given in these assem-
bly and operating instructions,
•
the work and safety instructions issued by the operator
of the system,
•
the installation and operating data given in „3 Technical
data“ and in the CEAG Catalogue.
Faults that can affect the operation or safety of the
system must be reported immediately to the company
officers and remediated.
2.1 Inteded Use
The automatic test systems AT-S
+
systems are exclusively
designed to monitor and control a lighting system with
general and emergency lighting.
Their operation is program controlled. They must be
programmed and set up by engineers with specialist
knowledge of the legal and technical requirements
governing the assembly and operation of lighting systems.
The operating safety can only be guaranteed by intended
use of the systems.
ATTENTION!
Every use beyond or different than the intended pur-
pose is prohibited, and therefore not in accordance
with regulations!
2.2 Contents of Operating Instructions
Every person, ordered to work with the system, has to
read the instructions carefully to understand them before
work begins. This takes also place when the person
has already worked with a similar kind of system or was
instructed by the manufacturer.
2.3 Changes and Modifications to the System
To avoid danger and to assure optimum performance,
changes and modifications to the system are not allowed,
except when the manufacturer has approved them.
Any work involved in extensions, conversions or repairs
and which is not described in this manual must be carried
out by specially trained technical and service personnel (of
the manufacturer CEAG or of CEAG-authorised distribu-
tion and service contractors)!
2.4 Responsibility of the Operator
Keep the instructions near to the system, accessible for
every person working with the system and at all times.
The System must be in a proper and safe condition when
using it. System has to be checked for intactness before
using it.
Adhere to the information of the instructions completely!
2.5 Personnel Requirements
Only authorised and skilled personnel are allowed to
work on and with the system. The personnel must have
received instructions regarding the existing danger.
Skilled personnel refers to those with expert training, with
knowledge and experience as well as knowledge of the
relevant regulations. He should be able to evaluate his
work and recognize the presence of danger.
Personnel without the necessary knowledge must
•
have received qualified and proper training,
•
get their tasks and activities by full description for
complete understanding
•
carry out the activities under the supervision and control
of skilled and qualified personnel.
2.6 Operational Safety
Observing the stated safety instructions and regulations
can avoid damage to property and people when working
with the system.
However the following organisational measurements
must be specified in writing and be kept:
•
Duties of information and reporting (start, duration, end
of the work)
•
Safety measures while the work is being carried out: e.
g. standby lighting, power supply isolation and lock-out
(e. g. removing the fuses, key-operated switch, safety
signage)
•
Safety equipment for the personnel carrying out the
work on the plant (s. chapter 2.7)
•
Safety equipment providing protection from hazards
caused by adjacent plant (e. g. safety grilles, barriers,
making safe of roads)
Attend to the ESD-protection during working at the
system!
The applicable work and safety regulations are set out in
these assembly and operating instructions, and in
•
the management´s internal organisational instructions
(example see above)
•
and the general and specialist technical guidelines and
accident prevention regulations.
2.7 Personal Protective Equipment
When working on and with the system it is necessary to
wear:
•
Protective Clothes
Close fitting protective clothes (low tensile
strength, no wide arms, no rings and further
jewelry, etc).
•
Safety Boots
Boots electrostatic conductive acc. to EN 345
and to protect against heavy falling parts.
