2.1 Responsibility of the operator
The function modules are used in commercial areas. The operator of the function
modules, therefore, is subject to statutory occupational safety requirements and the
safety, accident prevention and environmental regulations applicable to the areas in which
the function modules are used.
2.2 Selecting and qualifying personnel; basic obligations
•All work on the function modules may be carried out only by qualified personnel.
Qualified personnel are personnel with the training, experience, and instruction, as
well as expertise on relevant standards, specifications, accident prevention
regulations and operating circumstances necessary to carry out the required work,
and who have been authorised to do so by the persons responsible for the safety of
the system. They are able to identify and avoid potential hazards.
•In addition, please see standards VDE 0105-100 and IEC 60364 for the definition of
“qualified personnel” (reference, e.g. Beuth Verlag GmbH, VDE-Verlag GmbH)
•Responsibilities for assembly, installation, commissioning and operation must be
clearly defined. Personnel who are receiving instruction or training must be
supervised.
2.3 Proper use
The UO-SCU / UO-ECU function modules must be used together with the basic device
USL(H) 42 / UOL(H) 40. Depending on the application, further function modules can be
added.
The system manufacturer must check whether the properties of the function modules
meet his application-specific safety requirements. The system manufacturer is responsible
for or decides on the use of the function modules. The function modules are designed for
unattended continuous operation.
Proper use also includes:
•observance of all instructions in these operating and mounting instructions
•the observance of the type plates and possibly attached prohibition or information
signs.
•observance of the operating instructions of the machine or system manufacturer.
•operating the function modules within the limits specified in the technical data
•refraining from any use contrary to the intended purpose
