• Faults of electronic devices due to electromagnetic fields Electromagnet-
ic fields are created during the operation of pumps with frequency convert-
er. Interference of electronic devices may be the result. The result may be a
device malfunction, which can result in damage to the health or even death,
e.g. of persons carrying implanted active or passive medical devices.
Therefore, during operation the presence of any persons e.g. with cardiac pace-
makers in the vicinity of the unit/pump should be prohibited. With magnetic or
electronic data media, the loss of data is possible.
