2.8 Magnetic field, precautions
WARNING Risk of magnetic field
The electromagnetic field can cause interference and
damage to electronic devices (such as cardiac pacemak-
ers). It can also move ferro-magnetic objects inadver-
tently. This can lead to serious injury or even death.
u Persons with cardiac pacemakers must keep a safe
distance of at least 2m from the Hydro Magnet.
u Persons with metal prostheses must keep a safe dis-
tance of at least 2m from the Hydro Magnet.
u No person may bear or carry ferro-magnetic objects
in the field of Hydro Magnet, since it will exert an at-
tracting force and could cause bruising or injury.
u Keep a safe distance of at least 2m from the Hydro
Magnet with electronic devices such as computers,
monitors, credit cards, mobile phones, magnetic
cards, etc..
u Secure a spacious working area for the Hydro Mag-
net with warning signs, to alert personnel and others
to the dangers of the magnetic field.
2.9 Electrical shock, precautions
DANGER Danger to life through electrical voltage
During operation, dangerous voltages may occur. This
can lead to serious injury or even death.
u Maintenance and repair work on the Hydro Magnet
may be carried out only in the off and de-energized
state.
u Turn off the carrier and secure it against uninten-
tional start, for example by removing the ignition key
and store.
u Never open the housing of the Hydro Magnet during
operation.
u Never loose or connect any cabeles during opera-
tion.
u Never hold the beam of a high-pressure cleaner on
the Hydro Magnet. There is a danger of electric
shock and danger of destruction.
DANGER Danger to life through electrical voltage
In case of an insulation fault the otherwise systemic
present protection "electrical separation" is no longer ef-
fective. When another error arises lethal contact voltage
can occur on metal parts. There may be sporadic or sud-
den load shedding and uncontrollable drop of lifted ma-
terial. Insulation monitors can influence each other.
u Never operate the Hydro Magnet with an insulation
fault.
u Do not install a further insulation monitor behind the
generator system.
DANGER Danger to life through electrical voltage
There may exist dangerous voltages up to max. 45sec-
onds in and close to the system after switching off the
carrier.
u Only touch the Hydro Magnet when the voltages are
degraded.
