2 Safety
This section provides an overview of all the main safety aspects involved in ensuring optimal
personnel protection and safe and smooth operation.
Non-compliance with the action guidelines and safety instructions contained in this manual
may result in serious hazards.
2.1 General
Before you start any repair inside of the device, be aware of the high 230V/115V voltages.
Even if these voltages are protected by security features to avoid any physical contact, it is
still possible that the voltage sources can be unintentionally touched with a tool, object, etc.
Therefore, always check if you really need the power supply to be switched on during your
work. Otherwise turn the device off and disconnect the power cable from the wall socket to
the device. Safeguard that no one can re-power the system without your approval.
2.2 System Owner's Responsibility
System Owner
The term system owner refers to the person who operates the device for trade or commercial
purposes, or who surrenders the device to a third party for use/application, and who bears
the legal product liability for protecting the user, the personnel or third parties during the
operation.
System Owner‘s Obligations
The device is used in the industrial sector, universities and research laboratories. The system
owner of the device must therefore comply with statutory occupational safety requirements.
In addition to the safety instructions in this manual, the safety, accident prevention and
environmental protection regulations governing the operating area of the device must be
observed.
In this regard, the following requirements should be particularly observed:
• The system owner must obtain information about the applicable occupational safety
regulations, and - in the context of a risk assessment - must determine any additional
dangers resulting from the specific working conditions at the usage location of the device.
The system owner must then implement this information in a set of operating instructions
governing operation of the device.
• During the complete operating time of the device, the system owner must assess whether
the operating instructions issued comply with the current status of regulations, and must
update the operating instructions if necessary.
• The system owner must clearly lay down and specify responsibilities with respect to
installation, operation, troubleshooting, maintenance and cleaning.
• The system owner must ensure that all personnel dealing with the device have read and
understood this manual. In addition, the system owner must provide personnel with
training and hazards information at regular intervals.
• The system owner must provide the personnel with the necessary protective equipment.
