Safety Considerations
Personnel Safety Guidelines
MagneMotion node controllers can provide several direct safety hazards to personnel if not
properly installed or operated. General safety guidelines are provided in this section, specific
cautions are provided as needed (see Electrical Hazards on page 37).
• Personnel operating or servicing the node controller must be properly trained.
• The following safety equipment, used according to the instructions provided by the
manufacturer, must be donned before installing, testing, or servicing components from
MagneMotion:
• Eye protection
Breaking material can produce flying shards. When running a setup or test pro-
cedure, always wear protective eyewear to guard against possible eye injuries.
• Foot protection
Always wear shoes with protective toes to help protect feet from falling tools
or parts.
• It may be recommended that the use of hazardous materials, such as cleaning fluids, be
used during routine maintenance procedures. Read and understand the hazardous
materials policies for the facility and the SDS (provided by the manufacturer) for each
substance.
• Make sure that the node controllers are properly decontaminated before performing
any service by following the decontamination procedures at the facility. Follow all
facility, local, and national procedures for the disposal of any hazardous materials.
• Ergonomic hazards can exist with certain installation or service operations that are
related to the node controllers.
Equipment Safety Guidelines
The following safety considerations are provided to aid in the placement and use of the Mag-
neMotion node controllers.
• If hazardous materials are to be present, proper safety precautions must be observed.
Make sure that all materials that are used are compatible with the materials from
which the node controllers are fabricated.
• If the node controllers are to be installed in an earthquake prone environment, install
the equipment appropriately.
• Do not place the power and communications cables for the node controllers where
they could cause a trip hazard.
