2.13.4 Protection against electric shock
Possible electrostatic energy
Components or assembly groups may become electrostatically
charged. When the electrostatic charge is touched, the discharge
may trigger a shock reaction leading to injuries.
• The operator must ensure that all components and assembly
groups are included in the local potential equalisation in
accordance with the applicable regulations.
• While paying attention to the actual conditions of the working
environment, the potential equalisation must be implemented
by a specialist electrician according to the applicable
regulations.
• The effectiveness of the potential equalisation must be verified
by executing regular safety measurements.
2.14 Notes on particular risks
Generally valid:
• Remove the energy supplies before installation, modification,
maintenance, or adjustment work.
• Make sure that no residual energy remains in the system.
• Do not move parts by hand when the energy supply is
connected.
• Do not reach into the open mechanism or the movement area
of the module.
• Perform maintenance, modifications, and additions outside of
the danger zone.
• For all work, secure the unit against accidental operation.
• Take a precautionary approach by maintenance and
disassembly.
• Only specially trained staff should disassemble the module.
CAUTION
Possible risk of injury due to electrostatic energy!
Components or assembly groups may become electrostatically
charged. When touched, the electrostatic discharge can trigger a
startle response, which can result in injuries.
•
The operator must ensure that all components and assembly
groups are included in the local equipotential bonding in line
with the applicable regulations.
