Chapter 1
1.2 Safety warnings
• In any of the cases mentioned above (or similar) pull the power cord out of the power
socket immediately. Otherwise, users or environment are endangered. Please con-
tact the ART service.
• Never change or alter the equipment, neither mechanically nor electrically. Only the
components described by ART shall be used. The conformity and the warranty of
the producer (ART ) expire by non-compliance.
• Never open the equipment! Only personnel authorized by ART is allowed to open
the equipment. Inside of the equipment there are various hazards like high voltage,
electric shocks - even if the equipment is disconnected - which can lead to death on
contact. In case of malfunction of the equipment please contact the ART service.
• Only peripheral devices which meet the safety requirements of EN/IEC 60950 for
extra low voltage may be attached on Ethernet-, BNC- and the DC-circuit of the
equipment.
• The cameras emit infrared light. Keep a distance of min. 20 cm when operating the
cameras. All cameras are assigned to the Exempt Group according to IEC62471-1
and therefore pose no risk or hazard to the human eye or skin at this distance.
• Be sure that the cameras are firmly mounted in the correct position.
• Do not touch the front pane of the cameras, since the acrylic pane and the lens are
highly sensitive surfaces. Be careful to avoid permanent damages (e.g. scratches).
Only touch the housings of the cameras.
• The ventilation holes of the ARTTRACK2 camera must not be covered. Air circu-
lation is necessary to prevent the cameras from overheating. If the air circulation
is restricted overheating will damage the cameras. The minimum distance between
equipment and environmental objects has to be greater than 3 cm.
• The equipment has to be attached to a power socket with grounding. If the ground-
ing wire is defective the requirement of the safety and the electromagnetic compat-
ibility (EMC) are not guaranteed. To check the function of the grounding wire ask
your regional located electrician.
• Before switching on any device, verify that voltage and frequency of your electric
installation are within the allowed ranges of the equipment. The characteristics of
the equipment can be found on the appliance rating plate or in chapter A on page
236. The appliance rating plates are on the equipment’s housing (ARTTRACK1 on
the lower side of the housing; ARTTRACK2 / ARTTRACK3 on external power sup-
ply, ARTTRACK5 & ARTTRACK5/C / TRACKPACK/E on camera housing, all con-
trollers on the backside of the housing).
• The power switch on the backside does not completely separate the devices from
the electricity network. To completely separate the equipment from the electricity
network the power plug must be disconnected from the power socket. The power
plug has to be accessible freely. The power socket must be close to the equipment.
