INSTALLATION
4.1 General Warnings
These instructions have been designed to assist users of the PF1 with installation.
Before the PF1 can be installed, there are a number of things that need to be considered and
understood to prevent incorrect or unsafe operation of the PF1 or the system into which it is installed.
Along with relevant competence, and an understanding of the target application, the following points
should be considered:
Ensure that the information provided in this user manual is fully understood.
It is extremely important that the functionality and any limitations of the PF1 are understood to prevent
incorrect installation or usage creating a potentially dangerous hazard.
Ensure that the application into which the PF1 is being installed has been properly
specified, designed and approved.
Any system intended to mitigate the risk of injury needs to be properly designed and implemented.
Such a system must be the result of structured risk analysis with the outcomes used to define the
system requirements. These requirements, in turn, will guide the choice of instrumentation, logic
solvers and actuators needed to implement the system. Understanding the needs of the system will
ensure proper selection of equipment.
Ensure that the PF1 will properly perform the required functions within the system
design.
It is important to understand how the PF1 is intended to interact with other equipment within a system.
For safe and reliable use, it is crucial that neither the PF1 relay
’s logical operation nor its signalling be
compromised by incompatibilities with connected equipment.
WARNING!
The PF1 has been designed to provide the user with the maximum
flexibility, with regards to configuration. The user is able to configure the
PF1 such that the Earth Leakage and Earth Continuity protection
functions are disabled.
Ampcontrol accepts no responsibility or liability in cases where
the user has incorrectly configured the PF1.
The user remains
ultimately responsible for the configuration of the PF1 and their greater
system.
Modifications of any form to the PF1 are prohibited.
The PF1 as supplied has been designed and manufactured to comply with the requirements of
protection standards. If modifications of any form are made to the PF1, the equipment may no longer
be fit for use. If any modifications or damage to the PF1 is evident, do not use the equipment.
