Safety
2.1
General
Any person who is tasked to carry out work with the device must have read and understood the oper-
ating manual before beginning.
Operation and maintenance of the system may only be performed by trained personnel.
Save this user manual and hand-over with the device when passed on.
2.2
Electrical Connection
When connecting or when working on the mains voltage, the general safety guidelines are observed,
e.g. when connecting power transformers. Supply voltage can be lethal when touching. Improper instal-
lation can cause serious injury or physical damage. Only qualified personnel are allowed to work with
mains voltage.
2.3
Laser Targeting Light
For easy alignment, the pyrometers may be equipped with a laser targeting light, laser class 2 (accord-
ing to IEC 60825-1-3-4) and has a sticker shown on the right. The laser emits a visible red light with a
maximum power of < 1 mW and a wavelength around 650 nm.
Safety precautions:
Never look into the direct or reflected laser beam.
Do not point the laser to anyone.
If laser radiation hits the eye, the eyes must be intentional-
ly closed and the head immediately moved out of the
beam.
2.4
Through-lens Sighting / View Finder
Devices with through lens sighting and temperature range above 1400°C are equipped with an adjusta-
ble eye protection filter in the eyepiece to reduce glare at high measurement temperatures. The unpro-
tected look at temperatures >1400°C can damage the eyes function permanently.
Safety precaution:
before looking toward the high temperatures, always first adjust the eyepiece with
help of a replacement light source by turning onto the darkest area. A safe method is the adjustment by
looking at a lamp.
2.5
Device Labels
On the top of the device there is the type label (nameplate) as well as a warning sticker for devices with
laser targeting light.
The device must be mounted in a manner that the labels after installation are still clearly visible.
Keep the warning signs in always legible condition
Replace damaged labels
2.6
Responsibility of the Operators
If the device is used in the commercial sector the operator is subject to the legal responsibilities for
workplace safety.
In addition to the safety instructions in this manual follow the regulations of safety, accident prevention
and environmental protection.
If the device sholud be integrated into a system, the safety of the system in which the device is integrat-
ed is in the responsibility of the installer of the system.
