Page 35: Chapter Overview
Chapter 2 – Safety Information RPV311 CHAPTER OVERVIEW This chapter provides information about the safe handling of the equipment. The equipment must be properly installed and handled in order to maintain it in a safe condition and to keep personnel safe at all times. You must be familiar with information contained in this chapter before unpacking, installing, commissioning, or servicing the equipment.
Page 36: Health And Safety
Chapter 2 – Safety Information RPV311 HEALTH AND SAFETY Personnel associated with the equipment must be familiar with the contents of this Safety Information. When electrical equipment is in operation, dangerous voltages are present in certain parts of the equipment. Improper use of the equipment and failure to observe warning notices will endanger personnel.
Page 37: Symbols
Chapter 2 – Safety Information RPV311 SYMBOLS Throughout this manual you will come across the following symbols. You will also see these symbols on parts of the equipment. Caution: Refer to equipment documentation. Failure to do so could result in damage to the equipment Risk of electric shock Ground terminal.
Page 38: Installation, Commissioning And Servicing
Chapter 2 – Safety Information RPV311 INSTALLATION, COMMISSIONING AND SERVICING LIFTING HAZARDS Many injuries are caused by: Lifting heavy objects Lifting things incorrectly Pushing or pulling heavy objects  Using the same muscles repetitively Plan carefully, identify any possible hazards and determine how best to move the product. Look at other ways of moving the load to avoid manual handling.
Page 39: Fusing Requirements
Chapter 2 – Safety Information RPV311 Testing may leave capacitors charged to dangerous voltage levels. Discharge capacitors by reducing test voltages to zero before disconnecting test leads. If the equipment is used in a manner not specified by the manufacturer, the protection provided by the equipment may be impaired.
Page 40: Equipment Connections
Chapter 2 – Safety Information RPV311 Reason devices contain an internal fuse for the power supply which is only accessed by opening the product. This does not remove the requirement for external fusing or use of an MCB as previously mentioned. The ratings of the internal fuses are: RPV unit: 5 Amp, type T, 250V rating RA units: 2 Amp, type T, 250V rating CTs must NOT be fused since open circuiting them may produce lethal hazardous voltages.
Page 41: Pre-Energisation Checklist
Chapter 2 – Safety Information RPV311 The PCT connection must have low-inductance and be as short as possible. For best EMC performance, ground the unit using a 10 mm (0.4 inch) wide braided grounding strap. All connections to the equipment must have a defined potential. Connections that are pre- wired, but not used, should be earthed, or connected to a common grouped potential.
Page 42: Upgrading/Servicing
Chapter 2 – Safety Information RPV311 Operation of computers and equipment connected to RPV311 and RA33x under environmental conditions such as temperature and humidity that exceed the conditions specified in their respective manuals can cause malfunctioning or even irreversible damage to them or the nearby installation.
Page 43: Decommissioning And Disposal
Chapter 2 – Safety Information RPV311 DECOMMISSIONING AND DISPOSAL Before decommissioning, completely isolate the equipment power supplies (both poles of any dc supply). The auxiliary supply input may have capacitors in parallel, which may still be charged. To avoid electric shock, discharge the capacitors using the external terminals before decommissioning.
