Hazards due to Electrical Energy
Warning!
When the cabinet is opened or the housing is removed from system
components, certain parts of the automation system carrying
dangerously high voltages become accessible.
Switch off the voltage before working on the devices. Avoid short
circuits when measuring live components.
The user must prevent any unauthorised and improper access to the system
(for example, by ensuring that the switch cabinet is locked).
Personnel must be thoroughly familiar with all sources of danger, and meas-
ures for commissioning and maintaining the system must be in line with the
instructions given in this Operating Manual.
1.5
Maintenance
When it becomes necessary to perform measurement or tests on active
devices, this work must be performed in accordance with the regulations and
instructions of national accident prevention regulations such as in Germany
BGV A3. Appropriate power tools must be used.
Repairs on control components must be carried out by authorised repair
shops only. Opening the components and repairs by unauthorised personnel
may lead to personal injury or damage to property.
Always disconnect the device from the mains before opening it (either
disconnect the mains plug or use the cut-out switch).
1.6
Dealing with Used Batteries
When the batteries in the automation system are dead they must be
disposed of through a common battery return system or through appropriate
public waste disposal facilities.
Batteries should be fully discharged before they are returned. A battery is
discharged when the function of the device that it powers is impaired due to
insufficient battery capacity.
When batteries for disposal are not fully discharged, precautions must be
taken to prevent short circuits. For example by sticking adhesive tape over
the poles of the battery.
