Title:
Repair instructions for ResistTel and ExResistTel
Foreword to the repair manual for ex equipment
•
here using the example of ResistTel and the ExResistTel
Work on the equipment must be carried out by specialist personnel (qualified person).
In accordance with the
technical rules for operating safety TRBS 1203 part 1
, the qualified person
must fulfil the requirements for the explosion protection tests in accordance with paragraph 2.1
(professional training), paragraph 2.2 (professional experience) and paragraph 2.3 (recent
professional activity).
In accordance with the
ordinance on industrial safety and health (BetrSichV) §6
, the employer
(and thus also the qualified person) have to ensure that an explosion protection document is drawn
up and kept up to date.
The explosion protection document is to be drawn up before work is commenced. It is to be revised if
changes, extensions or transformations of the work equipment or work process are carried out.
Any repair or exchange must be carried out in a clean environment and in a workshop atmosphere.
Any repair or exchange of components must be carried out in de-energised state - the equipment is
to be disconnected from the mains.
The instructions for opening/closing the equipment must be followed exactly as they are given in the
repair manual.
To finish off the repair, the operator or the qualified person from his enterprise must carry out an
appropriate test (e.g. a high voltage test) on the equipment.
If parts are not repaired/exchanged appropriately, the guarantee liability of the manufacturer expires.
If exchanging part of a piece of equipment for an original spare part, the legal guarantee period only
begins for this spare part. No new guarantee begins for the entire equipment.
If performing one of the aforementioned measures, it is assumed that the operator is familiar with the
associated documentation and uses it correctly.
