Safety notes and protective measures

When performing work and tests, the following must be

j( l
obese& .
- the product-specific safety notes contained in the document,
- the safety notes RAO-000.012.40... in Register 2 of the
POLYMOBIL III file,
- and the general safety notes contained in Register 2 of the TI
binder.

l After the system has been switched off, a de voltage of approx.

300 V is applied for the main inverter.
On D920 the yellow LED V35 lights up.
Within approx. 1.5 minutes the voltage drops to approx. 12 V;
LED V35 goes out.

l Checks and adjustments that must be carried out with radiation

switched on are marked with the symbol 9
When performing work procedures which are marked with this
symbol, radiation protective clothing must be worn.

l Connect the POLY MOENL I II only to a power source (power outlet) meeting the
standards of VDE 0107 or the usual local standards.
l Before working on the open POLYMOBIL III switch OFF the unit with the power switch at
the control panele and unplug the power cable.
l Before removing or inserting PC boards, switch off the generator; in doing so, observe
the ESD regulations.
