Basic safety aspects
General safety requirements
In order to keep the technically unavoidable residual risk to a minimum, it is imperative to
observe the following rules:
• Transport, storage and operation of the system must be under the permissible
conditions only.
See accompanying documentation and information on the system.
• Installation, configuration and disassembly must be carried out only by expert
personnel and with reference to the respective documentation.
Due to the complexity of the system, the personnel requires special training.
• The system must be operated by expert and authorised users only.
The user must operate the system only after having read and understood this safety
guide and the parts of the documentation relevant to operation. For complex systems,
additional training is recommended. Any obligatory training for operating and
service personnel must be carried out and documented.
• The system must not be operated unless it is in perfect working order.
Any faults and errors that might affect safety must be reported immediately by the
user to a person in responsibility.
• The system must be operated only with the connections and under the environmental
conditions as described in the documentation.
• Any conversions or changes to the system or parts of the system (including the
software) must be carried out by qualified Lucent Technologies personnel or by
expert personnel authorised by Lucent Technologies.
All changes carried out by other persons lead to a complete exemption from liability.
No components/spare parts must be used other than those recommended by the
manufacturer and those listed in the procurement documents.
• The removal or disabling of safety facilities, the clearing of faults and errors, and the
maintenance of the equipment must be carried out by specially qualified personnel
only.
The respective parts of the documentation must be strictly observed. The
documentation must also be consulted during the selection of measuring and test
equipment.
• Calibrations, special tests after repairs and regular safety checks must be carried out,
documented and archived.
• Non-system software is used at one’s own risk. The use/installation of non-system
software can adversely affect the normal functioning of the system.
• Only use tested and virus-free data carriers (floppy disks, streamer tapes, ...).
