Risk Of Fire; Risk Of Burns; Risk Of Electrocution - SDMO Diesel 6000 A Silence C5 Benutzer- Und Wartungshandbuch

2.4 Risks relating to exhaust gases
DANGER
For safety reasons and for correct operation of the unit, correct ventilation is essential (risk of poisoning, engine overheating and
accidents involving, or damage to, the surrounding equipment and property). If it is necessary to operate it inside a building, the
exhaust gases must be evacuated outside and adequate ventilation must be provided so that any people or animals present are not
affected.
2.5

Risk of fire

DANGER
2.6

Risk of burns

IMPORTANT
When running and just after stopping, the oil, engine and the exhaust silencer are hot and may cause burns if contact is made.
2.7

Risk of electrocution

DANGER
2.7.1 Temporary or semi-temporary installation (work site, show, fairground, etc.)
A - If the unit is not equipped with an integrated differential protection device at delivery (standard version with insulated neutral on
the unit's earth terminal):
- Use a differential device calibrated to 30mA at the output of each of the unit's sockets (place each device at least 1 metre from
the unit, protecting it from weather conditions).
- If one or more mobile or portable devices are used occasionally, the unit does not need to be earthed.
B - If the unit is equipped with an integrated differential protection device at delivery (standard version with alternating neutral
connected to the unit's earth terminal - for use with TT or TN systems):
- Connect the unit to the earth: attach a 10 mm2 copper wire to the unit's earth terminal (A1) and to a galvanised steel earthing
rod set 1 metre into the ground.
2.7.2 Fixed installation or mains failure
When supplying a fixed installation (e.g. as backup for mains outages), the unit must be connected by a qualified electrician in
accordance with the regulations applicable at the installation site. The units are not designed to be connected directly to an
installation (risk of electrocution or damage to equipment).
A - If the unit is not equipped with an integrated differential protection device at delivery (standard version with insulated neutral on
the unit's earth terminal):
- Use a source inverter.
- The unit does not need to be earthed.
B - If the unit is equipped with an integrated differential protection device at delivery (standard version with alternating neutral
connected to the unit's earth terminal - for use with TT or TN systems):
- Use a source inverter.
- Connect the unit to the earth: attach a 10 mm2 copper wire to the unit's earth terminal (A1) and to a galvanised steel
earthing rod set 1 metre into the ground.
2.7.3 Mobile application
The units are intended to operate while stationary. They may not be installed on a vehicle or other mobile equipment unless a study
has been carried out analysing the unit's various installation and usage specifications. It is prohibited to use the unit whilst it is in
motion. If earthing is not possible, connect the unit's earth terminal (A1) to the vehicle earth.

RISK OF POISONING
DANGER OF DEATH (if appropriate)
The carbon monoxide present in the exhaust gas may lead to death by inhalation if the concentration
levels in the atmosphere are too high.
Always use the unit in a well ventilated area where the gases cannot accumulate.
RISK OF FIRE
DANGER OF DEATH
Never operate the unit in areas containing flammable products (risk of sparks). Keep all flammable or
explosive materials (e.g. petrol, oil, cloth, etc.) out of the way when unit is running. Never cover the unit
with any type of material while it is in operation or just after it has been turned off: always wait until the
engine cools down (at least 30 minutes).
Before any intervention, wait for the unit to cool down (at least 30 minutes).
RISK OF ELECTROCUTION
DANGER OF DEATH
Units supply electrical current while operating; comply with the applicable legislation as well as the
installation and usage recommendations given in this manual. If you are in any doubt regarding
installation, please contact your nearest agent.
Do not connect the unit directly to other power sources (such as the mains for example); fit a source
changeover panel.
Never touch stripped cables or disconnected connectors. Never handle a unit with wet hands or feet.
Never expose the equipment to liquid splashes or rainfall, and do not place it on wet ground.
