Risk of mechanical injury
As on all electrical installations, mechanical injuries to the head and
hands may be caused on removing and fitting covers, wire and cable
connections.
Always use the correct tool. If necessary protect the head and hands
against injuries due to cuts and impacts.
2.3. Systems and material area
Risk of fire
In case of fire, electrically isolate the system immediately, on the one
hand to interrupt the supply of energy and on the other hand to shut
down the fans.
Fight the fire from bottom to top in accordance with the rules in your
organisation using suitable fire fighting equipment (CO

extinguisher). If possible use fire extinguishers with asphyxiation action
to keep the secondary damage low.
Electromagnetic fields
Like any electrical system, TopCon low-voltage systems produce
electrical and magnetic fields. However, these fields comply fully with
the usual standards.
Note, however, that particularly the EM fields from your wires and
equipment connected could nevertheless produce interference on
objects in the immediate area.
Note the following:
•
Keep data carriers and PC-based measuring environments an
adequate distance from live wires to prevent interference and
data loss.
•
Protect highly-sensitive sensors and instruments.
•
Test effects on communication networks,
in particular radio networks.
•
Make individuals with electronic implants aware that implants
may be affected.
