Safety Instructions – Chapter 2
Improper use includes:
The use of the track guidance system in vehicles that are not equipped with
safety devices for personal protection and safe detection of obstacles.
Any departure from the lane or the appearance of a person or an obstacle in the
danger area must be reliably detected at all times and immediate stopping of
moving parts (e.g. vehicles) must be ensured to prevent damage to property or
persons.
2.3 Qualification of the Users
The tasks described in this document require basic knowledge of the mechanics and
electrics as well as knowledge of the associated technical terms. In order to ensure
safe use, these activities must therefore only be carried out by an appropriate spe
-
cialist or an instructed person under the supervision of a specialist.
A qualified person is someone who, on the basis of his or her specialist training,
knowledge and experience as well as knowledge of the relevant regulations, is able
to assess the work assigned to him or her, recognize possible dangers and take ap
-
propriate safety measures. A qualified person must comply with the relevant tech
-
nical regulations.
The personnel intended for the installation, commissioning and configuration of the
track guidance system:

used – the risks arising from the application and is sufficiently trained in the
handling of the vehicle and any necessary safety precautions to assess the safe
working condition of the system.
2.4 Operating Conditions
Observe the conditions for the installation of the antenna given in the related
documents (s. section 1.1.2 on page 5), especially the specifications for metal
free areas around the antenna and the interference immunity.
Reinforcements close to the surface of the roadway may interfere the antenna
and thus distort the position detection. This also applies to any large metal
pieces (sheets) on the ground, the proximity of any floor reinforcement and
inductive loops, as they are created e.g. by steel building mats. Individual metal
poles have little effect. Those may partially be within the metal-free area of the
guide wire.
For the size of metal-free areas around the antenna please see the appropriate
data-sheets listed in section 1.1.2 on page 5.
