Installation and Programming manual
2.15
Safety laws
The aim of the instructions in this section is to ensure that the device is installed and handled properly. This
chapter contains vital information. You (the installer) should be familiar with this section and bring each
item herein to the attention of the end-users.
2.15.1 Compliancy
The SmartLevel power supply station has been especially designed and manufactured to comply with EN
54-4
Fire detection and signaling systems - Power supply devices
and the provisions in
EN54-4:1997/
A2:2006
.
2.15.2 Managing electronic devices
The normal motions of any person may generate electrostatic potential of thousands of volts. Discharge of
this current through semiconductor devices during handling may cause serious damage which although
may not be immediately evident may reduce the reliability of the circuits.
If located in their housings, the electronic circuits of INIM Electronics products are highly immune to
electrostatic discharge.
• Do not expose the circuits to damage caused by unnecessary handling.
• When removing or handling circuit boards, hold the board edges only.
• Do not touch the electronic components, the printed circuits or the metal parts of the connectors.
• Do not hand the board to another person without first ensuring that you both have the same
electrostatic potential. This can be achieved by simply shaking hands.
• Place the board on an anti-static surface or a conductor surface with the same potential.
Further information regarding procedures relating to safety when working with electronic devices can be
found in Directive
IEC 60147-0F.
2.15.3 Connecting the device
In order to provide adequate protection and instructions for proper use, security professionals (Installers
and maintenance technicians) must be familiar with the operating procedure of this device.
Please read the instructions carefully before installing the device.
Before first power-up, be sure that the earth connection has been completed properly on the respective
terminal.
The recommended minimum wire cross section for the earth connection is 2.5 mm
2
, that is, unless
otherwise stated in accessory documentation.
2.15.4 Replacement and disposal of used devices
Replacement
When replacing used devices, disconnect the devices concerned then complete the connections of the new
devices in accordance with their instructions.
In order to avoid short-circuits, take all the necessary precautions when removing used batteries.
Disposal
Do not burn used electronic devices, or allow them to pollute the environment (countryside, rivers, etc.).
Electronic devices must be disposed of in a safe environment-friendly way.
When disposing used devices or batteries, contact your local municipal offices for information regarding
their disposal.
