4 INSTALLATION
4.1 General Warnings
These instructions have been designed to assist users of the relay with installation.
Before the relay can be installed, there are a number of things that need to be considered and
understood to prevent incorrect or unsafe operation of the relay or the system into which it is installed.
Along with relevant competence, and an understanding of the target application, the following points
should be considered.
4.1.1 Ensure that the information provided in this user manual is fully understood.
It is extremely important that the limitations and functionality of the relay are understood to prevent
incorrect installation and use from creating a potentially dangerous risk. If in doubt as to the nature of
the limitations or their implication, consult a competent authority such as a supervisor or Ampcontrol
technical representative.
4.1.2 Ensure that the application into which the relay is being installed has been
properly defined, designed and approved.
Any system intended to mitigate the risk of injury needs to be properly designed and implemented.
Such a system must be the result of structured risk analysis with the outcomes used to define the
system requirements. These requirements, in turn, will guide the choice of instrumentation, logic
solvers and actuators needed to implement the system. Understanding the needs of the system will
ensure proper selection of equipment.
4.1.3 Ensure that the relay will properly perform the required functions within the
system design.
It is important to understand how the relay is intended to interact with other equipment within a system.
For safe and reliable use, it is crucial that neither the relays logical operation nor its signalling be
compromised by incompatibilities with connected equipment.
4.1.4 Modifications of any form to the relay or accessories are prohibited.
The relay, as supplied, has been designed and manufactured to comply with the requirements of
protection standards. If modifications of any form are made to the relay, the equipment may no longer
be fit for use. If any modifications or damage to the relay is evident, do not use the equipment and
contact Ampcontrol for advice.
4.2 Mandatory Installation Practices
The following information must be adhered to when installing the relay. Failure to adhere to this
information may give rise to unsafe operation.
Using the relay in a manner that exceeds its electrical, functional or physical specifications, or in a way
that is contrary to its operating restrictions, may create risks to personnel and/or equipment resulting in
injury or death.
 The relay must be powered within the specified voltage range.
 The installation of the relay must be carried out by suitably trained and qualified personnel.
 Identification labels fixed to the relay must not be damaged, removed or covered.
 The installation is to be in accordance with the relevant installation Standards/Codes of Practice.
 Modifications must not be made to any part of the relay. As supplied, the unit is built to, and
complies with the relevant standards. Modifications to its construction will render the unit non-
compliant.
 Complete and accurate records of the installation must be kept as part of the site installation.
