1 General
1.1 Safety Instructions
LPR®-2D systems are purely tracking and assistance systems. They
therefore do not satisfy special requirements for personal safety, e.g.
performance level c.
Follow the safety instructions in the operating instructions for the device
and the additional documentation!
Keep these safety instructions and other documents together with the device.
1.2 Installation
All installation, repair and servicing work must be carried out by qualified
and trained technicians!
1.3 Repairs
Repairs to the device must be carried out by authorized technicians.
Unauthorized opening and incorrect repairs could result in severe
danger to the user (danger of electric shock, radiated energy, fire
hazard).
1.4 Transport and Storage
Use the original packaging or other suitable packaging for returns and
whenever the system is to be transported. This ensures protection from
crushing, impacts, moisture and electrostatic discharge.
During setup and before operation, refer to the instructions for
environmental conditions included in the operating instructions for the
device.
Route the wires in such a way that they do not cause a hazard and are
not damaged. When connecting the wires, refer to the corresponding
instructions in the operating instructions for the device.
Do not drop the device and do not expose it to strong vibrations.

1.5 Power Supply
A safety-inspected power cable that satisfies the regulations of the
country of use is required for the device. Devices with metal housings
must only be connected to a grounded, shock proof socket.
The device must not be operated unless the nominal voltage of the
device matches the local supply voltage. Check the supply voltage of
the device in stationary devices.
When connecting and disconnecting wires, refer to the instructions in
the operating instructions for the device.
Do not use any damaged wires (damaged insulation, exposed wires). A
faulty wire poses a risk of electric shock or fire hazard.
1.6 Setup and Operation
During installation, make sure that no objects or fluids get inside the
device (risk of electric shock, short circuit).
In emergencies (e. g. if there is damage to the housing, control
elements or the mains cable, if fluids or foreign bodies have infiltrated
the equipment), switch off the power supply to the device immediately
and notify your SYMEO Service.
Protect the contacts of all of the device's sockets and plugs from static
electricity. Do not touch the contacts. If it is ever necessary to touch the
contacts, take the following precautionary measures: Touch a grounded
object or carry a ground strap before touching the contacts. This will
divert static charges.
Proper operation (in accordance with IEC60950/EN60950) of the device
is only assured if the housing and integral covers for mounting slots are
fully installed (electric shock, cooling, fire protection, noise suppression).
If necessary, refer to the corresponding instructions in the operating
instructions for the device.
In the case of high outside temperatures and intense, direct solar
radiation or other radiant heat, it may be necessary to provide a sun or
heat shield.
1.7 System Extensions and Accessories
Data links to peripheral devices must be provided with adequate
shielding.
For LAN cabling, the requirements in accordance with EN 50173 and
EN 50174-1/2 apply. Use of either a Category 5 shielded cable for
10/100 Ethernet or Category 5e shielded cable for gigabit Ethernet is a
minimum requirement. The specifications of standard ISO/IEC 11801
