2 General Safety Notes
This chapter contains general requirements for working safely.
Every person using ELAU components or working on ELAU
components has to read and observe these general safety notes.
If activities involve a residual risk, you will find a clear note in the
respective places. The note describes the risk that may occur and
preventive measures to avoid that risk.
2.1 Basics
The ELAU components are built according to the state of
technology and generally accepted safety rules. Nevertheless, their
use may cause a risk to life and limb or material damage if:
 you do not use the components as directed
 work on the components is not done by experts or instructed
staff
 you inexpertly alter or modify a component
 you fail to test the protective measures in place after installation,
commissioning or servicing
 you do not observe the safety notes and regulations.
Only operate the components in perfect technical condition, as
directed, with regard to safety and risks and observe this manual.
The flawless and safe operation of the components requires
appropriate transport, storage, mounting and installation as well as
careful maintenance.
In case of any circumstances that impair the safety and cause
changes in the operating behavior, immediately put the
component(s) to a stop and inform the service staff in charge.
In addition to this manual, observe
 the prohibiting, warning and mandatory signs on the component,
the connected components and in the switching cabinet
 the relevant laws and regulations
 the operating manuals of the other components
 the universally valid local and national rules for safety and the
prevention of accidents.
