The conductor rails, collectors or other components (e.g., antennas), can fall down
during operations or during any other works on the system. This can cause severe
injuries or fatalities if they fall from great heights.
 Wear a safety helmet.
 For installation, commissioning, troubleshooting and maintenance: Shut off the
entire danger zone.
 For decommissioning, disassembly and disposal: Shut off the entire danger zone.
Sawn through, dissembled conductor rails must be handled carefully and properly
stored (container or transport box).
There is a danger of being entangled in moving parts when the system is in
operation during installation, commissioning, or service. For example, moving
parts are the machine and the attached collectors.
 Travel at reduced speed!
 Before working on the conductor rail, disconnect the conductor rail system
according to the 5 Safety Rules and secure it against being turned back on. 5
Safety Rules, see section 2.9.
 Wear closely fitting work clothing.
Abrasion from the sliding contacts, rails and plastic collects in the conductor rails,
the ProfiDAT compact Rail and the support structure (substructure). This dust is
®
very fine and is a health hazard. Frequent handling can result in sensitization.
Persons who frequently spend longer periods in a heavily used system without
protective equipment must reckon with the following consequences:
 Irritations of the mucous membranes
Respiratory diseases

 Cancer
These consequences must also be expected if accumulations of dust are handled
without proper care (e.g., removal of dust with compressed air).
 In workplaces with long-term exposure and heavily use systems, take effective
measures to protect employees from the dust.
 During all work on the conductor rail system in which collected dust can be stirred
up, wear personal protective equipment. In particular, use personal protective
equipment when cleaning the system.
