    EMC device classification as per the rating plate or technical data. EMC measures In certain cases, even though a device complies with the standard limit values for emissions, it may affect the application area for which it was designed (e.g. when there is sensitive equipment at the same location, or if the site where the device is installed is close to either radio or television receivers).
  • Page 10: Safety Measures In Normal Operation

    Safety measures Only operate the device if all safety devices are fully functional. If the safety in normal opera- devices are not fully functional, there is a risk of tion injury or death to the operator or a third party, damage to the device and other material assets belonging to the operator, inefficient operation of the device.
