SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
4
SKnowledge of the safety concepts of automation technology is a requirement and, as
project personnel, you must be familiar with these concepts.
SAs automation plant operating personnel, you have been instructed how to handle the
machinery. You are familiar with the operation of the equipment and technologies
described in this documentation.
SAs commissioning engineers or service engineers, you have successfully completed
the training to qualify you to repair the automation systems. You are also authorized
to activate, ground and label circuits and equipment in accordance with safety engi
neering standards.
It is also essential to comply with the legal and safety requirements for the application
concerned during use. The same applies to the use of accessories.
The device must only be installed by qualified personnel, strictly in accordance with the
specifications and with the safety requirements and regulations listed below.
Maintenance and repair work on an open device with the power on may only be carried
out by trained personnel who are aware of the dangers involved.
Working safety
SMaintenance and repair work on an open device with the power on may only be
carried out by trained personnel who are aware of the dangers involved.
SAutomation equipment and devices must be installed in such a way that adequate
protection or locking against unintentional actuation is provided (e.g. access checks,
password protection, etc.).
Additional safety precautions
Additional safety precautions must be taken in plants where malfunctions could cause
major damage, loss of data or even personal injury. In the event of a fault, these
precautions establish safe operating conditions.
The scope of supply and performance of the device only covers a small area of
measurement technology. In addition, equipment planners, installers and operators
should plan, implement and respond to the safety engineering considerations of
measurement technology in such a way as to minimize remaining dangers. On-site
regulations must be complied with at all times. There must be reference to the remaining
dangers connected with measurement technology.
General dangers of failing to follow the safety instructions
The device is a state of the art unit and as such is reliable. The module may give rise to
dangers if it is inappropriately installed and operated by untrained personnel.
