2.2.1.
Personnel area
The utmost attention is to be paid to the hazards for individuals. There
are various risks and hazards, of these the most important are
mentioned here.
Electric shock
A low-voltage system can produce electrical potentials that can be
dangerous or even fatal for individuals. During work on the systems the
following guidelines are to be observed:
a)
Work in electrically isolated state
This is the recommended way of working, it should be rigorously
applied during all connection and wiring work. Follow the rules:
1. Electrically isolate
2. Secure against switching back on.
3. Short-circuit
4. Connect to earth
5. Report and instruct
2.2.2.
Systems and material area
Risk of fire
In case of fire, electrically isolate the system immediately, on the one
hand to interrupt the supply of energy and on the other hand to shut
down the fans.
Fight the fire from bottom to top in accordance with the rules in your
organisation
using
suitable
firefighting
equipment
(CO2
fire
extinguisher). If possible use fire extinguishers with asphyxiation action
to keep the secondary damage low.
Noise and noise level
The fans on the TC.LAE produce a lower or higher noise level
dependent on the temperature of the heat sink. However, in the
immediate vicinity of the cabinet this noise is under the tolerance limit
that would make acoustic protection equipment necessary.
The usage of acoustic protection equipment or acoustic insulation
measures can, however, be necessary in specific circumstances.
Mechanical damage
Incorrect operation of the systems can result in mechanical damage to
the downstream equipment and systems.
