DOK-ECODR3-SMT-02VRS**-WA01-EN-P
2.8 Protection against magnetic and electromagnetic fields
during operations and mounting
Magnetic and electromagnetic fields generated by current-carrying
conductors and permanent magnets in motors represent a serious health
hazard to persons with heart pacemakers, metal implants and hearing
aids.
WARNING
Health hazard for persons with heart
pacemakers, metal implants and hearing aids in
proximity to electrical equipment !
⇒
Persons with pacemakers, metal implants and
hearing aids are not permitted to enter following
areas:
- Areas in which electrical equipment and parts are
mounted, being operated or started up.
- Areas in which parts of motors with permanent
magnets are being stored, operated, repaired or
mounted.
⇒
If it is necessary for a person with a pacemaker to
enter such an area, then a physician must be con-
sulted prior to doing so. Pacemaker, that are already
implanted or will be implanted in the future, have a
considerable deviation in their resistance to
interference. Due to the unpredictable behavior there
are no rules with general validity.
⇒
Persons with hearing aids, metal implants or metal
pieces must consult a doctor before they enter the
areas described above. Otherwise health hazards
will occur.
2.9 Protection against contact with hot parts
CAUTION
Housing surfaces could be extremely hot !
Danger of injury ! Danger of burns !
⇒
Do not touch surfaces near the source of heat !
Danger of burns !
⇒
Wait ten (10) minutes before you access any hot
unit. Allow the unit to cool down.
⇒ Do not touch hot parts of the equipment, such as
housings, heatsinks or resistors. Danger of burns !
