3.1 NOTES FOR THE OPERATOR
DANGER THE VOLTAGE INSIDE THE EQUIPMENT IS DANGEROUS. ACCESS TO THE COMPONENTS FOR INSTALLATION,
SETTING, INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE MUST BE GRANTED ONLY TO QUALIFIED PERSONNEL IN CHARGE OF IT AND
INFORMED OF THE RELEVANT RISKS. BEFORE STARTING ANY OPERATION, DISCONNECT THE UNIT FROM THE MAINS.
The following safety general instructions are based on experience and common sense, but cannot describe or foresee all
the possible situations. Basic safety procedures must be continuously applied and known by whoever operates on the unit.
In order to ensure full knowledge of properties and characteristics of the unit, this Manual must be read and comprehended
by those who supervise, maintain and run the unit.
Check that the unit is always properly earthed.
Warn anybody who might be in the vicinity before energizing the unit.
Always operate in good lighting.
Do not allow unauthorized personnel to operate on the unit for no reason whatsoever.
Always use suitable safety means such as isolating tools and footboards, isolating gloves, etc.
NEVER operate the unit without the provided protections against accidental contact, unless specifically indicated in the
maintenance instructions in this Manual. However, controls and maintenance routines that require the protections to be
removed shall be under the User’s full responsibility.
Do not climb on top of the enclosure.
Do not accumulate goods around or above the enclosure.
The unit is housed in an enclosure with screwed in panels. In normal working conditions, the unit must operate only when
the enclosure is completely closed and cannot be accessed without opening the cubicle with specific means.The protection
against direct contact is therefore inherently obtained. Any anomaly or alarm indication must be promptly signaled.
3.2 NOTES FOR MAINTENANCE
DANGER BEFORE ANY MAINTENANCE OR REPAIRING ROUTINE, DISCONNECT THE UNIT BY OPENING THE UPSTREAM
GENERAL BREAKER AND LOCK IT WITH A PADLOCK, THE KEYS OF WHICH MUST BE KEPT BY THE MAINTENANCE SUPERVISOR
UNTIL THE END OF THE PROCEDURE.
Do not perform maintenance while the unit is working. Only setting or checking operations through the provided
instrumentation are allowed.
Whenever possible, do not use hands instead of suitable tools to work on the unit.
Do not use bars, cables, plates or internal components as support or handhold.
Check that mechanical and electrical connections are properly tightened at the end of the maintenance routine.
Do not remove, alter or damage nameplates, warnings of any identification tags or labels.
Before re-energising, always restore the protection that might have been removed for maintenance.
In case of doubts on the operational features or on the necessary maintenance procedures, please contact the
Manufacturer or an authorised Service Centre.
Tampering on the unit relieves the Manufacturer from any responsibilities and makes the User solely responsible towards
the competent bodies concerning accident prevention. The Manufacturer disclaims all responsibility for:
failure to follow the specified instructions
modification (even slight) performed on the unit resulting in altering its operational features
failure to comply with the health and safety at work measures
use of not original spare parts (unless specifically authorized by the Manufacturer)
During maintenance and repairing procedures, the enclosure is likely to be open. Consequently, some residual dangers
persist, due to the impossibility of eliminating the sources as implicit in the working procedures.
DANGER INDICATIONS
CRUSHING
Handling the unit must be done exclusively by means of the tools described in the relevant chapter.
Handling and lifting operations must be carried out by skilled and trained personnel only.
ELECTROCUTION
During normal working operation, the danger does not exist. Carry out maintenance routines only
after having disconnected the unit. Should it be necessary to test an energized unit, segregate the
area so that only skilled personnel can operate, still in compliance with all the health and safety
requirements set forth by the Rules and Regulations enforced in the Country of installation.
