2.3 Fundamental safety instructions
To prevent accidents, malfunctions and damage as well as unacceptable ad-
verse effects on the environment, those responsible for transport, installation,
operation, maintenance and disposal of the product or parts of the product
must ensure the following:
Personal protective equipment
Loosely worn or unsuitable clothing increases the danger of becoming trapped
or caught up in rotating parts and the danger of getting caught on protruding
parts. This poses a danger to life and limb.
– Wear appropriate personal protective equipment such as a helmet, work
gloves, etc. for the respective activity.
– Never wear damaged personal protective equipment.
– Never wear rings, necklaces, or other jewelry.
– If you have long hair, wear a hairnet.
Work area
Untidy and poorly lit work areas can lead to accidents.
– Keep the work area clean and tidy.
– Make sure that the work area is well lit.
– Observe the applicable laws for accident prevention in the relevant country.
Working during operation
The product may only be operated in a sound, operational condition. Otherwise
it poses a danger to life and limb.
– Regularly check the operational reliability of safety equipment.
– Comply with the inspection work, maintenance work and maintenance inter-
vals described in this technical file.
Invisible laser radiation
Looking directly into the beam or the reflected beam can cause eye damage.
The beam is emitted at the optical connections or at the end of the fiber-optic
cables connected to them on the assemblies. Read the chapter "Technical
Data" [►Section 8, Page 47] for further information.
– Never look directly into the beam or the reflected beam.
– Never look into the beam with the aid of optical instruments such as a mag-
nifying glass or a microscope.
– In the event that the laser beam strikes your eyes, close your eyes immedi-
ately and move your head out of the path of the beam.
Working with current transformers
Dangerous high voltages may occur when a current transformer is operated
with an open secondary circuit. This can lead to injuries and property damage.
– Never operate a current transformer with an open secondary circuit; short-
circuit the current transformer to prevent this.
– Observe the information in the current transformer operating instructions.
Handling electrical components
Electrical components can be damaged by electrostatic discharge.
– Never touch electrical components during commissioning, operation or
maintenance work.
– Take suitable measures (such as covers) to ensure that personnel cannot
touch components.
– Wear suitable personal protective equipment.
