Noncompliance with the following safety regulations
Risk of injury to persons and damage to property
● Compliance with the following regulations is required.
● Specialist electrical engineering knowledge is required for installation.
● Only an expert is permitted to carry out installation work.
Incorrect installation can take safety devices out of operation unbeknown to a
layperson.
Mounting, installation, commissioning and maintenance
● If you require tools such as a ladder, these must be safe and intended for
the work in question.
● When starting the voice alarm system, make sure that no unstable states
can occur.
● Make sure that all points described in the 'Testing and checking the
functionality of the products' section below are observed.
● You may only put controls into normal operation once work to test and
check the functionality of the products has been completed and the site has
been handed over to the customer.
Testing and checking the functionality of the products
● Prevent incorrect triggering of the remote transmission.
● When you test building equipment or activate devices from third-party
companies, you must liaise with the people responsible for these.
● No one must be injured and no damage to the building equipment must
occur when voice alarm controls are activated for test purposes. The
following instructions must be observed:
– Use the correct potential for the activation; as a rule, this will be the
potential of the building equipment.
– Only check controls up to the interface (relay with blocking option).
– Make sure that only the controls to be tested are activated.
● Inform people before testing alarm devices and determine any potential
panic reactions.
● Inform people of any noise or mist which may occur.
● Inform the corresponding alarm and fault receiving centers before
performing a test remote transmission.
