Safety
A risk assessment should be performed prior to commencing work
as it may highlight additional safety issues specific to the application. This
equipment is NOT approved for use in areas where hazardous, explosive or
flammable gasses, liquids or solids may be present.
The P350 flexitrax, including components, are heavy. If available, use
the wheels to assist transport. Observe heavy-lifting safety practices when
lifting any component of this system. Refer to the system specifications for a
description of the system dimensions and weight.
If mains operated equipment is connected to the system then the external
equipment must be earthed in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions.
Failure to comply with this may cause the unit to become live and a
LETHAL HAZARD.
The flexitrax Power Supply Unit (PSU) is designed to reduce hazards
from electric shock provided that proper operating procedures are followed.
The P350 flexitrax system requires connection to a protective earth. It is
also recommended to use a residual current circuit breaker (RCCB) that can
protect against electric shock. RCCB devices are known in some countries as
Ground Fault Circuit Interruptors (GFCI). The RCCB needs to be suitable for a
load of 13A and a tripping sensitivity of 30mA or less.
Crush hazard. Never place hands, clothes or foreign objects into the
mechanism of the powered elevator.
Foul water systems can be a source of serious biological hazards. Wear
appropriate protection when handling the P350 flexitrax.
Cameras and lightheads will get hot during use. This is normal.
Exercise care when handling the camera at all times.
System components must NOT be connected/ disconnected when the
power is on. When downhole equipment is not connected, turn off all power.
Never touch live connectors, cable or system internal components without
suitable electrically insulated gloves for high-voltages.
The external connectors of the P350 Manual PSU unit and Powered Drum
are required to be properly sealed by the blanking caps provided or by using the
correct leads to prevent water damage to the units. Under no circumstances are
these connectors to be left un-blanked.
Care must be exercised when operating the drum that the hands, body
and loose clothing are kept well clear of the cable entry area. The cable entry
should not be used as a step and feet kept clear of this area.
