Safety regulations

2.1.3Classification and meaning of additional symbols

Tips and information

Refers to extremely important or critical decisions to be taken into account before continuing the work.

2.2Safety-relevant working instructions

Country-specific standards

The products are developed and produced in compliance with the relevant interna- tional and European safety standards. Should additional country-specific, local safety standards or regulations concerning project planning, assembly, installation, operation and disposal of the product apply in the place of operation, then these standards or regulations must also be taken into account in addition to the safety regulations mentioned in the product documentation.

qualified electrician, in accordance with the electro technical regulations.

Control units must be disconnected from the power supply during commissioning or maintenance work.

Terminals with an external voltage supply must be provided with a sign ”DAN- GER - External voltage”.

Mains leads to the control unit must be installed separately and provided with a clearly marked fuse.

Earthing must be carried out in compliance with local safety regulations. When work is carried out in explosion-hazardous areas, the appropriate safety precautions must be taken.

Assembly, installation, commissioning and inspection work

If any tools or accessories such as ladders are required, safe and suitable de- vices must be used.

Prevention of spurious tripping of the remote transmission must be assured. Always inform the fire brigade before testing the remote transmission.

The activation of fire control installations for test purposes must not cause dam- age to the system or parts thereof.

Fire control installations must only be activated after the test has been com- pleted and the system has been handed over to the customer.

Third party systems or devices must only be activated in the presence of the re- sponsible person.

When work on management stations and system terminals are performed, the safety regulations of the connected sub-systems must be observed. This espe- cially applies when switching-off system components.

In the case of extinguishing systems, always use the ”General installation in- structions” as a guideline. This guideline is available on request.
