SAFETY
SUMMARY
The safety issues mentioned here do not eliminate all safety
hazards found in the area of operation. However, they do highlight some
procedures that have found through long experience to improve the safety
conditions around temperature control systems.
Temperature control systems, like any other type of equipment,
require normal periodic maintenance or relocation in order to get the most of
investment in the system. One should think twice before doing any thing. The
following issues will help for best out of temperature control system.
-
Lifting Apparatus
: The temperature control systems or parts should be assembled or
disassembled and moved with proper lifting device which has the capability
of gentle and slow lifting (for parts or assemblies which are heavy to lift
manually).
-
Electrical Lockout
: The temperature control systems (main frames and control modules)
are powered with 120 VAC or 240 VAC or 480 VAC, that could cause severe
shock or electrocution. Follow proper electrical power lockout / tagout
procedure before working or removing temperature control system or module.
Accidental startup of system may have tragic results. All electrical
connections and troubleshooting must be done according to safe electrical
practices.
-
Changing Modules
: Before inserting or removing control modules from the main
frame, power must be off on both, the module and the main frame. If module
is inserted or removed under power, severe damage will result to both the
control module and main frame. Before replacing the module, the main frame
connector must be inspected for any damage due to sparks etc. by a qualified
electrician. Damage caused to main frame or the control module as a result
of improper insertion or removal will not be covered under warranty.
-
Unauthorized Modifications
: Do not modify the main frame or the control module in any way.
Modification could cause danger to personnel or equipment. ITC will not be
responsible for any damage or injury caused due to unauthorized modification
to the temperature control system or control module.
-
The temperature control system may be used with machines /
equipment by other manufacturers. Observe all the necessary safety
requirements of the specific machine maker.
-
When system is out of service, both control module and
main frame must be turned off.
