2.6 Protective measures to be taken by the operator/user

The device is designed for use in an industrial setting. The operator of the device is therefore subject to compliance with the relevant
legal obligations concerning workplace safety. In addition to the safety instructions in these operating instruction, all safety, accident
protection, and environmental regulations valid in the place of operation of the development must also be observed. This particularly
includes:
Work on electrical components of the system may only be carried out when disconnected from the power supply.

The operator must inform him/herself of applicable workplace safety guidelines and identify any additional hazards that may

arise under special working conditions at the deployment location of the device. This knowledge has to be expressed in the
form of operating instructions for the operation of the device.
During the entire time the device is in use, the operator must check that these operating instructions still correspond to the cur-

rent state of regulations and adapt these as necessary.
The operator must clearly manage and define responsibilities for installation, operation, troubleshooting and maintenance.

The operator must ensure that all employees involved with the device have read and understood these operating instructions.

The operator must also train the personnel at regular intervals and inform them of hazards.
The operator must provide personnel with all required protective equipment (work clothes, safety shoes, hearing protection,

protective gloves, safety helmet, goggles, breathing mask).
The operator must keep the keys for the switching cabinets in a safe place. "Safe" means that only explicitly authorized person-

nel may have access to the keys. The keys may only be issued to technical personnel as described in Chapter 2.2.1.
The operator is furthermore responsible for ensuring that the device is always in perfect working order. The following thus applies:
The operator must ensure that the service intervals described in these operating instructions are observed.

The operator must get all safety systems regularly inspected for functionality and completeness. If possible, this inspection

should be carried out once a year, but at least as often as required under the applicable national regulations.
If the device or system has been modified, the safety systems must be inspected again and adapted to the changed conditions

in such a way that the device or system is safe again.

2.7 5 safety rules for working on electrical systems

Requirement:
Work on electrical systems must only be carried out when they are disconnected from the power supply. The 5 safety rules (see
DIN VDE 0150-100:2009-10/EN 50110-1:2004-11) must always be followed before starting any work:
1. Disconnect the system from power using the main switch,
2. Secure the main switch against being turned back on
3. Verify the absence of a voltage by measuring
4. Ground and short-circuit parts of the system on which work will be done
5. Cover or block off neighboring parts which are still energized.
→
Only electricians or personnel trained in electrical work may disconnect power or approve reconnection of power after work
carried out in the disconnected state!
