1. General Safety
This document contains essential advice for installing and operating the Vivax-
Metrotech FLS-2 transmitter. Follow these safety instructions when handling the
transmitter, its modules, or troubleshooting.
NOTE
The manufacturer is not liable for damages to materials or harm
to humans due to the non-observance of the instructions and
safety advice provided in this document. Therefore, this document
should be provided and reviewed by all personnel associated with
its installation and use.
• Intended personnel
Vivax-Metrotech utility line locators are intended for use by utility
and contractor professionals. Safety hazards for underground utility
access areas include electrical shock, explosive gases, toxic fumes,
and a potential influence on communications and control systems
such as traffic control and railroad crossings.
• Intended application
A safe operation is only achieved by using the transmitter for its
intended purpose. Using the transmitter for other purposes may
lead to human danger and equipment damage. Do not exceed the
limits described in this document.
• Output Signal and fiber optic cables
The transmitter output signal is high voltage. When the transmitter
sends a signal, the fiber optic cable sheath and connections may be
energized up to 300V AC TO 450V DC. Keep a safe distance from
these cables and connections.
• Lightning strikes
The transmitter must be installed with proper lightning protection.
Damage to the transmitter may occur if it is not correctly installed
and protected from lightning strikes. We do not recommend that
you operate or perform maintenance on the transmitter if there is a
pending electrical storm near the transmitter or the buried cable.
• Modules
Before removing any modules, turn the rear power switch off. The
modules were not designed to be hot-swappable.
