Safety Instructions 1.2

1.2 Safety Instructions

All components of the AS x70i DUO (all variants) have been sub-

jected to a series of safety tests. Any remaining dangers that

may exist are pointed out during system training courses as well

as in this manual and the installation guide.

1.2.1 General safety instructions and warnings

 System devices may be used exclusively for their intended

purpose, as specified by the manufacturer.

 Unauthorised modifications of the devices as well as the use

of replacement parts and/or add-on devices not approved by

the manufacturer may increase the risk of electric shock or

cause other serious bodily harm and will void the manufac-

turer’s warranty.

 The setup, installation, maintenance and configuration of the

devices is limited to certified electricians with special training

in accident prevention.

 The executive or commissioned technician, or the project

manager, is responsible for ensuring that the devices are in-

stalled and configured in compliance with local technical re-

quirements as well as other applicable local rules and

regulations. This applies particularly to cable dimensions,

protection against risks, earth connection, deactivation, dis-

connection, insulation testing, and overcurrent protection.

1.2.1.1 Notes concerning wearers of medical

devices and implants

SKIDATA™ devices are CE certified and therefore comply with

all applicable health and safety guidelines.

Like all handsfree scanners and contactless RF devices (e.g., ski

lift access control devices), SKIDATA™ handsfree products used

for contactless processing (reading and coding) of chip-based

data carriers inevitably generate an electromagnetic field in close

proximity to the antenna. To ensure the greatest possible safety

for wearers of active medical implants (e.g. pacemakers), RF-

based SKIDATA™ devices have been subjected to further tests

by an accredited testing body.

The test results indicate that SKIDATA™ devices, when used as

directed, are perfectly safe for pacemaker wearers passing a

handsfree ski lift access gate (note that this does not necessarily

apply to devices by other manufacturers). However, to safeguard

the health of those concerned (e.g. pacemaker wearers) and to

comply with statutory warning obligations, people wearing medi-

cal devices (e.g. pacemakers) should be required to adhere to

the general recommendations for the use of electromagnetic de-

vices in addition to the following guidelines:
