Electrical hazards:
Theprotectionclassofelectricallyoperatedcomponentspreventspersonalinjurybyelectrocution,whichcanbefatal.The
protectionclassisusuallyIP54(5:Dustprotected,protectedagainstingresswithawire;4:protectedagainstsplashingwater).
Thecontrolunitcover,thecoverofthepumpfeed,thethreadedcableglandsandthevalveconnectorplugsmustbeinspected
foreffectivenesspriortocommissioning.Theinstalledpressureandvolumesensorsareoperatedwithprotectiveextra-low
voltage.
Avoidweldingworkonadditionalequipmentwhichiselectricallyconnectedtothecontrolunit.Strayweldingcurrentoran
improperearthconnectioncouldleadtothedangerofreanddamagetopartsoftheunit(e.g.thecontrolunit).
4.15 External forces
Avoidanyadditionalforces(e.g.:forcescausedbyheatexpansion,owoscillationsordeadweightsontheowandreturn
lines).Thesecanleadtodamage/leaksinwater-bearingpipework,lossofstabilityoftheapplianceandfurthermoretofailure
connectedwithsubstantialmaterialdamageandpersonalinjury.
4.16 Inspection prior to commissioning, maintenance and re-inspection
TheyguaranteeoperationalsafetyanditsobservanceinlinewithapplicableEuropeanregulations,Europeanandharmonised
standardsandadditionalnationalregulationsoftheEUmemberstatesforthiseldofapplication.Therequiredinspectionsmust
bearrangedbytheowneroroperator;aninspectionandmaintenancelogbookforschedulingandtraceabilityofmeasurestaken
mustbekept.

4.17 Electrical equipment inspections, routine inspection
Withoutprejudicetotheconsiderationsoftheinsurer/Operator,itisrecommendedthattheelectricalequipmentoftheFlamcomat
beinspectedanddocumentedtogetherwiththeheating/coolingunitnolessthanevery18months
(seealsoDINEN60204-12007).
