Safety Informaon
Warning
This is the symbol for indicang any potenal hazard,
risk or condion requiring special aenon.
The user needs to refer to the important operang
and maintenance or servicing instrucons.
Cauon
The lighng ash with an arrow head symbol, in an
equilateral triangle, is intended to alert the user.
There is dangerous “voltage” presence near by the
product’s enclosure which may be risk of person.
Safety Precauons
• Do not touch live electrical parts.
Electric shock can be avoided. Follow the recommended pracces listed below. Faulty installaon, improper
grounding, and incorrect operaon and maintenance of electrical equipment are always sources of danger.
• Do not try to install equipment outdoor, during strong wind and rain.
• Do not install or remove equipment outdoor, when raining.
• Do not try to install or operate any equipment, during a thunderstorm.
• Always ground all electrical equipment and the work plaorm.
Prevent accidental electrical shocks. Connect power source, control cabinets, and work plaorm to an approved
electrical ground.
• Always use the correct cable size.
Sustained overloading will cause cable failure and result in possible electrical shock or re hazard. Work cable
should be the same rang as the factory.
• Always keep cables and connectors in good condion.
Improper or worn electrical connecons can cause short circuits and can increase the chance of an electrical shock.
Do not use worn, damaged, or bare cables.
• Always avoid open-circuit voltage.
The added voltages increase the severity of electric shock hazard.
• Always wear insulated gloves while you adjust equipment.
Electric power should be turned o and insulated gloves should be worn when making any equipment adjustment
to assure shock protecon.
• Always wear protecve clothing such as long sleeve shirts while you are installing or removing equipment.
• Always wear high, snug ng shoes.
• Always wear clean clothes without grease or oil.
• Protect neighboring workers from exposure to arc radiaon.
• Always wear long trousers or jeans while you are installing or removing equipment.
• Always wear safety helmet or hard head and safety shoes before work.
• Always keep the equipment in dry places.
• Always wear safety harnesses/belt while you work in high places.
• Always wear dry clothing and avoid moisture and water.
• Always wear Public Safety Vest, while you work at night.
• Make sure all electrical connecons are ght, clean, and dry.
• Make sure that you are well insulated to eliminate electric stac charge.
• Always wear dry gloves, rubber-soled shoes, or stand on a dry board or plaorm.
• Always follow recognized safety standards.
• Always wear correct eye, ear, and body protecon.
• Always have second person on-site, while you work in dark, poor venlaon, or high places.
• Make sure that you are well protected against arc ashes, mechanical injury, or other mishaps.
• Make sure that the polarity of wire is correct before installing equipment.
• Always handle equipment with care.
• Do not block the venlaon of equipment.
• Do not put the magnec parts around the equipment.
