Protection against electric shock
Work on electric equipment
Touching live parts can cause death.
•Work on electrical installations must be performed only by
electricians in accordance with the electrical regulations.
•Observe the general installation and safety regulations con-
cerning work on high-voltage systems.
•Lay electrical cables correctly, e.g. in a cable duct or cable pro-
tector. Observe standards.
•Before connecting or disconnecting electric cables, switch off
the power supply and check that lines are dead. Secure power
supply against reactivation.
•Before working on the product, disconnect it from the line
power and wait for at least 15 minutes to allow dangerous vol-
tage charges to dissipate (capacitor charge). Check that the de-
vice is deenergized before you start work.
•Before switching on the product, check whether the protective
conductor on all electrical components has been installed cor-
rectly according to the connection diagram.
•Check whether covers and safety equipment to prevent contact
with live components have been installed.
•Do not touch the connecting elements of the product when the
energy supply is switched on.
Possible electrostatic energy
Components or assembly groups may become electrostatically
charged. When the electrostatic charge is touched, the discharge
can trigger a shock reaction which may lead to injuries.
•The operator must ensure that all components and assembly
groups are included in the local equipotential bonding in line
with the applicable regulations.
•The equipotential bonding must be implemented by a specialist
electrician in line with the applicable regulations while paying
particular attention to the actual conditions in the working en-
vironment.
•The effectiveness of the equipotential bonding must be verified
by regular safety measurements.
