Safety
Authorized staff
All work done on the products and the systems in which they are or will be installed may only be performed by qualified and authorised staff who have been trained and instructed in all work. The qualification and competence of the qualified staff must correspond to the local regulations and guidelines.
Residual risks
The products, electronic accessories and further system components may present unavoidable residual risks. Therefore, any person working on it must carefully read this document! The following are mandatory:
- relevant safety regulations and standards
- generally accepted safety rules
- EU directives
- national regulations and safety standards
Depending on the country, different standards are applied when installing the product, for example: EN378, EN60204, EN60335, EN ISO14120, ISO5149, IEC60204, IEC60335, ASHRAE 15, NEC, UL standards.
Personal protective equipment
When working on systems and their components: Wear protective work shoes, protective clothing and safety goggles. In addition, wear cold-protective gloves when working on the open refrigeration circuit and on components that may contain refrigerant.
Safety references
Safety references are instructions intended to prevent hazards. They must be stringently observed!
Safety reference to avoid situations which may result in damage to a device or its equipment.
Safety reference to avoid a potentially hazardous situation which may result in minor or moderate injury.
Safety reference to avoid a potentially hazardous situation which could result in death or serious injury.
Safety reference to avoid an imminently hazardous situation which may result in death or serious injury.
In addition to the safety references listed in this document, it is essential to observe the references and residual risks in the respective operating instructions!
ESD can destroy electronical components.
Ground yourself to prevent static charge when installing the internal components. Use a grounding wrist strap and place all electronic components in any static-shielded devices.
Sudden surge of power could ruin sensitive components.
Disconnect the power cable from the gateway before any installation. Make sure both the gateway and the external devices are turned off and the gateway is properly grounded.
Make sure the voltage of the power source is correct before connecting the equipment to the power outlet.
Liquids may damage electronical components.
Turn off the supply voltage before cleaning. Clean the gateway using a cloth only, do not spray any liquid cleaner directly onto the screen.
High or low temperatures may damage the equipment.
Do not leave the equipment in an uncontrolled environment with storage temperature <-45℃ or >85℃.
Integrated circuits on computer boards are sensitive to static electricity.
Avoid opening the back cover of the gateway. If the cover has to be opened for maintenance, it has to be by a trained technician who must observe the following precautions:
Before handling a board or integrated circuit, touch an unpainted portion of the gateway chassis for a few seconds. This will help to discharge any static electricity on your body.
When handling boards and components, wear a grounding wrist strap.
