1.1 IMPORTANT PROCEDURES CHAPTER 1: GETTING STARTED
1.1.3.1 General safety instructions
• Failure to practice safe working procedures is likely to damage the equipment, cause severe injury and/or death.
• The use of appropriate safety gloves, safety glasses and pr
otective clothing are recommended during equipment
installation, maintenance and service of the equipment.
• All procedures must be strictly adhered to.
• Failure to observe and follow the instructi

operation and injury.
• Beware of potential hazards, wear personal protective e
quipment and carefully inspect the work area for tools
and objects that may have been left inside the equipment.
• Caution: Hazardous voltages can caus
e shock, burns or death.
• Test/Installation/Service personnel must be familiar with general device t
est practices, safety precautions and
follow standard ESD precautions to avoid personal injury or equipment damage.
• Before performing visual inspections, tests, or periodic m
aintenance on this device or associated circuits, isolate
or disconnect all hazardous live circuits and sources of electric power.
• Failure to shut equipment power off prior to removing the pow
er connections could expose you to dangerous
voltages causing injury or death.
• All recommended equipment that should be grounded must hav
e a reliable and un-compromised grounding path
for safety purposes, protection against electromagnetic interference and proper device operation.
• Equipment grounds should be bonded together and connect
ed to the facility's main ground system for primary
power.
• Keep all ground leads as short as possible.
• At all times, equipment ground terminal must b
e grounded during device operation.
• While the equipment manual may suggest several safety and
reliability steps, safety precautions must be used in

mit (AEL) Class 1M. Class 1M devices are
considered safe to the unaided eye. Do not view directly with optical instruments.
• It is the responsibility of the user to check the equipment r
atings and installation instructions prior to
commissioning, service.
• Use a lift system with side rails/bucket to reduce a fall hazar
d as opposed to other means when installing or
servicing.
• In addition to the safety precautions mentioned all ele
ctrical connections made must respect the applicable local
jurisdiction electrical code.
• Before working on CTs, they must be short circuited.
• Do not remove the voltage terminal blocks
or disconnect the voltage input wires when the voltage phases are
live. The voltage inputs must be de-energized prior to any servicing.
