  • Page 4: Safety

    Safety With the EMP/MODULMAT you have an electrolytic marking system, which is on the newest state of the art concerning safety and which is reliable in service. We confirm to you with the EEC conformity explanation and the CE-indication at the equipment that the EMP/MODULMAT corresponds to the fundamental safety and health requirements of the EEC machine guideline 98/37/EG.

  • Page 5: Operational Safety

    Impairment of the marking equipment and further real values of the user. • Impairment of the efficient work of the equipment. Intended use of the marking equipment The EMP/MODULMAT is an electrolytic marking system for marking products with electrically leading surface. Intended use means in addition: •...

  • Page 6: Measures Taken By The User/Operator

    1.3 Measures taken by the user/operator Consider warning plates and references With the operation of the marking equipment also actions are to be implemented, from which dangers can proceed. In this manual the instructions for implementing such actions warning references are placed in front. At the equipment are in addition appropriate warning plates.

  • Page 7: Duty To Care In Handling The Equipment

    Duty to care in handling the equipment Guarantee perfect condition of the equipment: • The user and/or the circle of acquaintances assigned by him may operate the equipment exclusively in the perfect condition. • The user must ensure cleanliness and clarity of the work place at the equipment by appropriate instructions and controls.

  • Page 8: Water Protection

    When using the intended operational funds the instructions for use must be kept. As far as a safety data sheet (European guideline 91/155/EWG) of the manufacturer for operational funds is prescribed, the references made there must be considered obligatorily, like e. g.: •...

  • Page 9: Measures Of The Manufacturer

    1.4 Measures of the manufacturer The marking equipment contains a transformer, which reduces the input voltage (AC) to max. 24V output voltage alternating current (AC) or direct current (DC). With intended use of the equipment therefore no voltage dangerous for humans is delivered by the equipment.
