Protecting Operating Processes

A failure of this device – for whatever reason -- may leave an operating process without appropriate
protection and could result in possible damage to property or injury to persons. To protect against
this, you should review the need for additional backup equipment or provide alternate means of
protection (such as alarm devices, output limiting, fail-safe valves, relief valves, emergency shutoffs,
emergency switches, etc.). Contact Remote Automation Solutions for additional information.
Returning Equipment
▪
If you need to return any equipment to Remote Automation Solutions, it is your responsibility to
ensure that the equipment has been cleaned to safe levels, as defined and/or determined by applicable
federal, state and/or local law regulations or codes. You also agree to indemnify Remote Automation
Solutions and hold Remote Automation Solutions harmless from any liability or damage which Remote
Automation Solutions may incur or suffer due to your failure to ensure device cleanliness.

rules and regulations as specified in Design Safety Standards for Electrical Systems, 29 CFR, Part 1910,
Subpart S, dated: April 16, 1981 (OSHA rulings are in agreement with the National Electrical Code).
You must also ground mechanical or pneumatic instruments that include electrically operated devices
such as lights, switches, relays, alarms, or chart drives.
