1. Safety instr ctions for the ser and safety meas res
for the RDM BK43 system
This manual has been drawn up for use by trained and competent personnel.
The qualification of the personnel is defined in the European Directives on
machines, low voltage and EMV. All the electrical connections of RDM BK4
systems must be carried out by a technician who has specific training in local
and national electrical standards. Several symbols are used in this manual to
highlight certain information. The purpose of these symbols is to draw the
attention of personnel involved to warnings concerning safety and to safety
measures. Whenever a symbol appears, the relevant note should be read and
the information followed carefully.
This symbol indicates an imminent danger causing damage to persons
or property.
This symbol indicates a danger that could cause damage to persons or
property.
This symbol indicates the need to check the harmonization for the use
of radio frequency.
