2 - SAFETY CONSIDERATIONS

2.1 - Safety guidelines

Installation, start-up and servicing of equipment can be hazardous
if certain factors particular to the installation are not considered:
operating pressures, presence of electrical components and
voltages and the installation site (elevated plinths and built-up
structures).
Only properly qualified installation engineers and highly qualified
installers and technicians, fully trained for the product, are
authorised to install and start-up the equipment safely. During all
servicing operations all instructions and recommendations which
appear in the installation and service instructions for the product,
as well as on tags and labels fixed to the equipment and
components and accompanying parts supplied separately, must
be read, understood and followed.
Failure to comply with the instructions provided by the manufacturer
may result in injury or product damage.
■ Apply all standard safety codes and practices.
■ Wear safety glasses and gloves.
■ Use the proper tools to move heavy objects.
■ Move units carefully and set them down gently.

2.2 - Safety precautions

Only personnel qualified in accordance with IEC (International
Electrotechnical Commission) recommendations may be permitted
access to electrical components.
It is particularly recommended that all sources of electricity to the
unit be shut off before any work is begun. Shut off the main power
supply at the main circuit breaker or isolator.
IMPORTANT: This equipment conforms to all applicable codes
regarding electromagnetic compatibility.
RISK OF ELECTROCUTION! Even when the main circuit
breaker or isolator is switched off, specific circuits may still
be energised as they may be connected to a separate power
source. MagLev compressors keep running up to 15 minutes
after power off.
RISK OF BURNS! Electrical currents may cause components
to get hot. Handle the power cable, electrical cables and
conduits, terminal box covers and motor frames with great
care.
