Safety warnings

Listed below are all the safety warnings that are used in this manual. It is strongly
recommended that personnel who are, or will be, responsible for either installing, maintaining
or operating the equipment described in this manual should read and understand these
warnings.
1. LETHAL HAZARD – ELECTRICAL SUPPLIES. A current of 100 milliamps passing
through the body for one second can kill. This can occur at voltages as low as 35V ac or
50V dc The equipment described in this manual uses electrical power which can be
lethal. Unless absolutely necessary, cleaning, inspection and maintenance must not be
carried out without first isolating the equipment from all electrical supplies.
2. LETHAL HAZARD – COMPRESSED AIR SUPPLIES. The equipment described in this
manual may be supplied with a compressed air supply operating at a pressure which may
be lethal. Unless absolutely necessary, cleaning, inspection and maintenance must not
be carried out without first isolating the equipment from all compressed air supplies.
3. WORKING ON EQUIPMENT. If it is essential to work on the equipment with electrical
and/or compressed air power connected, the work must be undertaken only by qualified
personnel who are fully aware of the danger involved and who have taken adequate
safety precautions to avoid contact with dangerous voltages and/or compressed air
supplies. Before disconnecting the metal detector from power, removing the power plug
or loosening the power terminals ensure that signal cables to other machines are
disconnected first. Take care not to trap the earth wire or ribbon cable when closing the
enclosure lid.
4. REJECT DEVICES. At no time, with compressed air and/or electrical power applied to an
automatic reject device, should any part of the body be placed within the operating area
of the reject device.
5. EXCESSIVE NOISE. When an air blast reject device operates, the noise emitted may
constitute a noise hazard. While short exposure to this noise will not cause permanent
damage to hearing, prolonged exposure may cause some damage. It is recommended
that ear defenders are worn by personnel who are regularly exposed to the noise.
6. HEAVY EQUIPMENT. The equipment described in this manual is extremely heavy and
considerable care must be taken when handling it. Sufficient personnel and a suitable
fork-lift truck or pallet truck must be used to ensure safe handling.
