WARNING!
While any MV equipment is operating, some components are live, others may be moving, and some parts may become very
hot. Consequently, there may be electrical, mechanical and thermal hazards associated with its use.
In order to provide an acceptable level of protection for both persons and goods and taking into account the applicable
recommendations regarding the environment, Ormazabal develops and manufactures its products according to the principle of
integrated safety, based on the following criteria:
•
Removing hazards whenever possible.
•
When this is not technically or economically viable, by incorporating suitable safeguards in the equipment itself.
•
Providing information on remaining risks, in order to assist in the design of operational procedures to prevent
such risks, training operational staff in their use, and using appropriate personal protection facilities.
•
Using recyclable materials and establishing equipment and component processing procedures so that when
these have reached the end of their service life they are appropriately handled so as to respect, as far as possible,
the environmental criteria established by the proper organizations.
Consequently, the specifications given in section 11.2 of the future IEC 62271-1 standard will be taken into account when
working on or near the equipment specified in this manual, and, in accordance with the EN 50110-1 Standard concerning safety
in electrical installations and EN 50110-2 Standard applicable to all types of activity on, with or close to electrical installations,
only duly trained and supervised personnel may work on, with, or near it when they are completely familiar with the instructions
and warnings contained in this manual and any other general instructions that may apply according to current legislation.
This must be carefully taken into account, because the safe and proper operation of this equipment depends not only on its
design, but on circumstances which are generally outside the scope and responsibility of the manufacturer, especially:
•
Proper transport and handling of the equipment, from the factory gate to the installation site.
•
Any intermediate storage being in conditions that do not change or adversely affect the assembly’s properties or
its component parts.
•
Service conditions being compatible with the specified properties of the equipment.
•
Handling and operation being carried out strictly in accordance with the instruction manual, and with a clear
understanding of the relevant operational and safety principles.
•
Provision of proper maintenance, given the actual service and environmental conditions at the place of
installation.
Consequently, the manufacturer will not be responsible for any significant indirect damage caused by any violation of the
guarantee under any jurisdiction, including the loss of profits, times of inactivity, reparation costs or replacement of materials.
Guarantee
The manufacturer guarantees that this product will be free from any defects regarding materials and operation for the duration of
the contract. If any defect is detected, the manufacturer may choose to repair or replace the equipment. Inappropriate handling
of the equipment and any repairs carried out by the user will be considered to be a violation of the guarantee.
