CAUTION
Noncompliance with the following safety regulations
Risk of injury to persons and damage to property
● Compliance with the following regulations is required.
● Specialist electrical engineering knowledge is required for installation.
● Only an expert is permitted to carry out installation work.
Incorrect installation can take safety devices out of operation unbeknown to a
layperson.
Mounting, installation, commissioning and maintenance
● If you require tools such as a ladder, these must be safe and intended for the
work in question.
● When starting the voice alarm system, make sure that no unstable states can
occur.
● Make sure that all points described in the 'Testing and checking the
functionality of the products' section below are observed.
● You may only put controls into normal operation once work to test and check
the functionality of the products has been completed and the site has been
handed over to the customer.
Testing and checking the functionality of the products
● Prevent incorrect triggering of the remote transmission.
● When you test building equipment or activate devices from third-party
companies, you must liaise with the people responsible for these.
● No one must be injured and no damage to the building equipment must occur
when voice alarm controls are activated for test purposes. The following
instructions must be observed:
– Use the correct potential for the activation; as a rule, this will be the
potential of the building equipment.
– Only check controls up to the interface (relay with blocking option).
– Make sure that only the controls to be tested are activated.
● Inform people before testing alarm devices and determine any potential panic
reactions.
● Inform people of any noise or smoke emission which may occur.
● Inform the corresponding alarm and fault receiving centers before performing a
test remote transmission.
Modifications to the system design and the products
Modifications to the system and to individual products may lead to faults,
malfunctioning and safety risks. Written confirmation must be obtained from
Siemens and the corresponding safety bodies for modifications or additions.
Modules and spare parts
● Components and spare parts must comply with the technical specifications
defined by Siemens. Only use products specified or recommended by Siemens.
● Only use fuses with the specified fuse characteristics.
● Wrong battery types and improper battery changing lead to a risk of explosion.
Only use the same battery type or an equivalent battery type recommended by
Siemens.
● Batteries must be disposed of in an environmentally friendly manner. Observe
national guidelines and regulations.
