2 Safety Instructions for Transmitter Systems
and Instruments
ATTENTION!
The safety instructions provided in this manual must be complied with!
Pay special attention to the following points:
Only skilled personnel may perform electrical installation and electrical connection
tasks.
Always follow the relevant national and international safety rules and regulations when
equipping operating areas and when setting up and operating electrical equipment.
These rules and regulations include for example:
– Protective measures to prevent accidents
– Protective measures to prevent overvoltage
– Insulation status of electrical equipment
– Grounding of electrical equipment
– Physical properties and laying of electric lines and cables
– Regulations applying to industrial premises and areas as well as to special facilities.
When setting up the rack, observe the country-specific rules for accident prevention, for
example with regard to:
– Risk of getting crushed when working with loads suspended in the air
– Risk of falling off ladders
– Risk of injury when lifting heavy objects.
Use your personal protective equipment for installation and repair work, i.e. wear pro-
tective clothing such as helmets, safety gloves and eye protection, depending on the
task at hand.
Operate the equipment and systems only when the cabinet is closed. If you have to open
the cabinet for maintenance and repair work, comply with the applicable safety instruc-
tions.
If the equipment and systems are removed from the AC power supply, all poles must be
disconnected. Check for and remove any external power supply, i.e. all measuring ca-
bles, extension cables, multiple socket outlets (except for special service sockets). Wait
for five minutes to ensure that any and all capacitors are sufficiently discharged.
Additionally with liquid-cooled transmitters:When filling and installing the cooling system
(pump unit and heat-exchanger unit), observe the rules for handling hazardous sub-
stances (cooling agents); see section "safety data sheets about hazardous substances"
under "EU safety data sheet in accordance with 2001/58/EC Antifrogen".
