2 Safety Precautions

Important Safety Note

The devices described in this manual is for exclusive operation by trained employees. Only qualified personnel
that know the potential dangers involved should perform the installation, settings, maintenance and repair of
the units used.

Operational Safety

The correct and safe use of these systems assumes that operating and service personnel follow the safety
measures described in the manual alongside the generally acceptable safety procedures.
If there is a possibility that safe operation cannot be guaranteed the system must be switched off and secured
against accidental use. Then the service unit responsible must be informed.

Do not open the housing

There is no need to open the housing. There are no user serviceable parts inside. Set-up and configuration
during initial operation is done wireless with the built-in air interface.

Handling Safety

On account of high operating temperature of 70 °C (+158 °F) care must be taken, if the tags are heated. To
avoid burn wait a while until the tags have cooled down or use gloves. At temperatures below 0 °C (+32 °F)
tags can be iced. In this case, wait a while until tags are warmed up or use gloves.

Battery Inside

All tags contain a battery. That is the reason for the following instructions:

Warning

Fire, explosion and burn hazard

Risk of explosion if battery is replaced by an incorrect type

Do not recharge, short circuit, crush, disassemble, heat above 70 °C (158 °F)

Do not incinerate, or expose contents to water

Electrostatic Discharge

This product contains components that are sensitive to electrostatic discharges. Please observe
the special instructions for their protection. Incorrect handling can damage the unit and cause the
invalidation of the warranty.

Safety Documents

This ILR system was designed, tested and supplied in perfect condition according to document test report
EN60950.

Condensation/Change of Temperature

Moving the systems from a cold to a warm environment could lead to dangerous situations due to
condensation. Therefore it must be ensured that the system can adjust itself to the warmer temperature.
