6.3. Safety Notices
Operator Safety
It is the responsibility of the user to ensure that the AT5600 and its
associated safety systems are installed, maintained, and operated in
accordance with all safety guidance and legislation that may be locally in
force.
A light curtain will provide only part of the complete safety function that is
required.
The AT5600 and light curtain must be installed by a designated Qualified
Safety Person who will conduct an overall assessment of the risks involved
and provide operator training, safety notices, and further safety equipment
as well as install the AT5600 and light curtain in accordance with local
regulations.
6.4. A Typical Installation of a Safety System
Any safety system should be thought of providing a total ‘safety enclosure’ which
prevents access from all sides to the dangerous voltages on the transformer
under test. The infrared safety system can only provide one side of this safety
enclosure - that which faces the operator.
If there is a danger that an operator or any other person could touch the
transformer under test from either the side or the rear of the tester, then you must
also take steps to prevent this, by installing suitable physical barriers, if there is
any danger that the operator could touch the transformer under test from above,
then further precautions should be taken to provide physical barriers to guard
against this.
Typical installation is shown below
