5 Work and safety instructions
5.1 General remarks
• Trainees should work with the circuits only under the supervision of an instructor.
• Electrical devices (e.g. power supply units, compressors and hydraulic power units) may only be
operated in training rooms which are equipped with residual current devices (RCDs).
• Observe specifications included in the technical data for the individual components, and in particular all
safety instructions!
• Malfunctions which might impair safety must not be generated when the device is operated for training
purposes.
• Wear your personal protective equipment (safety goggles, safety shoes) when working on the circuits.
5.2 Mechanical system
• Switch off the power supply.
– Switch off both the working power and control power before working on the circuit.
– Only reach into the setup when it is at a complete standstill.
– Be aware of potential overtravel times of actuators.
• Mount all of the components securely on the profile plate.
• Make sure limit switches are not operated from the front.
• Risk of injury during troubleshooting.
Use a tool to operate the limit switches, for example a screwdriver.
• Set all components up so that it’s easy to activate the switches and interrupters.
• Follow the instructions regarding positioning of the components.
