Potential sources of
danger
The LambdaUnite MSS equipment has been developed in line with
the present state-of-the-art and fulfils the current national and
international safety requirements. It is provided with a high degree of
operational safety resulting from many years of development
experience and continuous stringent quality checks in our company.
The equipment is safe in normal operation. There are, however, some
potential sources of danger that cannot be completely eliminated. In
particular, these arise during the:
•
opening of housings or equipment covers,
•
manipulation of any kind within the equipment, even if it has
been disconnected from the power supply,
•
disconnection of optical or electrical connections,
