2 Safety Instructions for Transmitter Systems
and Equipment
The following points require special attention:
All electrical installation and connection work must be carried out by appropriately skilled
personnel only.
When equipping operating rooms and installing or using electrical equipment, the na-
tional and international safety regulations and recommendations must be observed.
These include, for example:
– Protective measures for the prevention of accidents
– Protection against overvoltages
– Isolation of electrical systems
– Grounding of electrical systems
– Type and laying of electrical lines and cables
– Regulations for special operating rooms and systems.
When installing the transmitter rack the country-specific rules for the prevention of acci-
dents must be observed, for instance with regard to the following:
– Crushing hazard when working beneath suspended loads
– Fall hazards when working on ladders
– Risk of injury when lifting heavy loads.
Personal protective equipment (PPE) must be used when installations or repairs are be-
ing carried out. Depending on the type of work it may be necessary to wear protective
clothing such as hard hats, safety gloves, eye protection, etc.
Instruments and equipment must not be operated unless their cabinets are closed. Ob-
serve the appropriate safety requirements when opening cabinets for service or repair
work.
An external power supply limiter must be used for disconnecting instruments and sys-
tems from the AC supply. In addition, disconnect all external sources of power, i.e. all
measuring cables, extension cables and multipoint connectors (except for special ser-
vice connectors). Then wait a further 5 minutes until all capacitors are properly dis-
charged.
ATTENTION!
The safety regulations specified in this manual must always be complied with.
