This chapter includes important information about general legal issues relevant in the handling of
Thomson Technology products. Furthermore, some overall safety precautions will be introduced and
recommended. Finally, the highlighted notes and warnings, which will be used throughout the
document, are presented.
Thomson Technology takes no responsibility for installation or operation of the generator set. If there
is any doubt about how to install or operate the generator set controlled by the unit, the company
responsible for the installation or the operation of the set must be contacted.
The units are not to be opened by unauthorized personnel. If opened anyway, the
Sufficient care must be taken to protect the terminals against static discharges during the
installation. Once the unit is installed and connected, these precautions are no longer necessary.
Installing the unit implies work with dangerous currents and voltages. Therefore, the installation should
only be carried out by authorized personnel who understand the risks involved in working with live
electrical equipment.
Be aware of the hazardous live currents and voltages. Do not touch any AC
measurement inputs as this could lead to injury or death.
The unit is delivered with certain factory settings. Given the fact that these settings are based on
average values, they are not necessarily the correct settings for matching the individual engine.
Thus precautions must be taken to check the settings before running the engine.
Throughout this document a number of notes and warnings will be presented. To ensure that these
are noticed, they will be highlighted in order to separate them from the general text.
Notes
The notes provide general information which will be helpful for the reader to
bear in mind.
