1. SAFETY CONSIDERATIONS
1.1. General Description
Installation, start-up and servicing of equipment can be hazardous if certain factors particular to the
installation are not considered: operating pressures, presence of electrical components and voltages and
the installation site (elevated plinths and built-up up structures). Only properly qualified installation
engineers and highly qualified installers and technicians, fully trained for the product, and are authorized
to install and start-up the equipment safely. During all servicing operations all instructions and
recommendations which appear in the installation and service instructions for the product, as well as on
tags and labels fixed to the equipment, components and accompanying parts supplied separately, must
be read, understood and followed.
- Apply all standard safety codes and practices.
- Wear safety glasses and gloves.
- Use the proper tools to move heavy objects. Move units carefully and set them down gently.
1.2. Avoid Electrocution
Only personnel qualified in accordance with IEC (International Electro technical Commission)
recommendations may be permitted access to electrical components. It is particularly recommended that
all sources of electricity to the unit should be shut off before any work is begun. Remember to shut off
the main power supply at the main circuit breaker or isolator.
CAUTION: The equipment uses and emits electromagnetic signals. Tests have shown
that the equipment conforms to all applicable codes with respect to electromagnetic
compatibility.
RISK OF ELECTROCUTION: Even when the main circuit breaker or isolator is switched off,
certain circuits may still be energized, since they may be connected to a separate power source.
RISK OF BURNS: Electrical currents cause components to get hot either temporarily or
permanently. Handle power cable, electrical cables and conduits, terminal box covers and motor
frames with great care.
