ACO AUTOMATION COMPONENTS
General operational safety
•Ensure that the operating instructions are on-hand in the switch cabinet, within which the Interchange
and evaluation unit is installed, at all times!
•Observe and apply any supplements to the operating instructions, general valid, legal and other obliga-
tory regulations regarding accident-prevention (e.g. providing or wearing of personal protective equip-
ment, road traffic regulations) and environmental protection (e.g. handling of dangerous substances)!
•Supplement the operating instructions with all necessary information including duty of supervision and
reporting obligations for the observance of operational particulars (e.g. work organisation, working pro-
cedures, hiring of personnel).
•Refrain from all working procedures which appear dubious as regards safety!
•Ensure that personnel are familiar with the location of fire extinguishers and how to use them! Observe
all fire alarms and firefighting possibilities!
•Ensure safe and environmentally-friendly disposal of all fuels and lubricants, as well as replacement
parts!
Personnel and supervision
•Personnel which are actively involved with the measuring system must have read the operating instruc-
tions before beginning work, in particular the chapter concerning the notes on safety. During operation is
too late. This applies in particular to personnel working opportunely on the sensor (e.g. when carrying
out maintenance).
•Carry out regular checks as to whether the personnel are working conscientiously as regards safety, and
are observing the operating instructions!
•Ensure that only contracted personnel are actively involved with the measuring system
•Employ trained or instructed personnel only. Explain responsibilities regarding operation, maintenance
and repair clearly to all personnel! Observe the legal minimum age!
•Before commencing work, inform all operating personnel of repair tasks which may be required! Nomi-
nate supervisors! Only allow repair tasks to be carried out by specialist personnel.
•Tasks to the electrical equipment of the measuring system may only be carried out by electrical special-
ists or by trained personnel under the instruction and supervision of an electrical specialist in accordance
with electro-technical regulations.
•Always wear personal protective equipment when necessary or when otherwise required by the safety
guidelines!
Operation and maintenance
•Prescribed times or intervals specified in the operating instructions or for repeated inspections must be
adhered to!
•For all tasks which concern operation or adjustment of the measuring system, as well as the safety-
relevant devices, observe the activation and deactivation procedures, as well as control displays in ac-
cordance with the operating instructions and notes for repair tasks!
•All screw connections loosened for maintenance and repair tasks must be retightened!
•Spare-parts must meet the technical requirements determined by the manufacturer. This can always be
guaranteed by using original spare-parts.
Assembly and repair
•Before commencing work, inform all operating personnel of repair tasks which may be required! Nomi-
nate supervisors! Only allow repair tasks to be carried out by specialist personnel.
•If not expressly otherwise specified, only carry out tasks to the measuring system when the voltage sup-
ply for the system has been disconnected. Always disengage the power supply prior to carrying out work
on the measuring system.
