• Before any maintenance work is carried out on automatic or remote-controlled
equipment, the
remote switching circuits shall be made inoperative.
PROCEDURE FOR DETERMINATION OF THE ABSENCE OF
VOLTAGE
After the equipment has been isolated according to the standard EN60215, the absence of
voltage shall be determined at the work place. This may be done by the use of voltage
indicators, measuring instruments, glow discharge lamps for indicating radio-frequency
voltage or other suitable means.
ELECTRIC SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
All parts making up the equipment have danger identification tags (with a yellow
background) to highlight the parts dangerous for the operator that has access to the
system
.
Presence of hazardous energy levels
A hazardous energy level is defined as a stored energy level of 20 J or more, or an
available continuous power level of 240 VA or more, at a potential of 2 V or more.
Precautions for Handling Components Containing Toxic Material
The Beryllium (Beryllium Oxide) is used in the construction of some components of the
apparatus.
This material, when in the form of fine powder or vapor if inhaled into the lungs can cause
respiratory problems. In its solid form, as used herein, can be handled quite safely, but it is
prudent to avoid conditions that favor the formation of dust due to abrasion of the surfaces.
Because of this risk, you should be very careful in the removal and disposal of these
components.
Do not throw them in containers for generic waste material, industrial or domestic, or send
via mail. They must be packed separately and clearly identified in safety and to show the
nature of the risk and then safely disposed by authorized personnel for toxic waste.Before
you remove or replace any RF COMPONENT, make sure that all precautions comply with
the recommendations of SAFETY.
This warning label is used for components containing
Beryllium Oxide.
