1. Safety
You are strongly advised to carefully study this chapter before starting to work
at the nurse call system.
1.1 About this chapter
The Flamenco products have been designed and produced according to the
latest state-of-the-art. Nevertheless, potentially dangerous situations may occur
during installation, modification or de-installation of the system or of its components
if the executing persons on-site act in a non-professional manner, or
if pertinent safety instructions are ignored. Non-compliance with general and
special safety instructions may jeopardise the life and well-being of installation
personnel or third persons, and such misbehaviour may lead to damage to system
components and other equipment.
Information in this chapter is of general nature. Special and more detailed
safety instructions are presented in the various chapters when safety-hazardous
work details or processes are described
1.2 Organisational measures
Electrical systems shall be installed, modified, serviced and maintained by authorised
specialists of the trade only. Among others, these are personnel from
the local electric power companies and electricians who are listed on their
roster. The registered electrician shall contact the power company to formally
request the commissioning of any new electric installation. As such, electric installation
personnel shall be responsible for the safety and correct function of
the relevant electric systems.
Commercial users of electric installations shall arrange for regular servicing
and maintenance of the respective electric equipment. Users and operators
shall observe the legal aspects as final responsibility rests with themselves.
Any work at the electric system and installation must be executed by trained
and authorised specialists of the trade.
The technical manual addresses the specialists of the electric trade.
Before starting any installation work, carefully study this manual - with particular
attention to the chapter on “Safety”. Later on, i.e. while working at the system,
it will be too late!
Keep this manual and any further documents which you may need readily available
during the installation work and whenever effecting any service or maintenance
work at the system.
