• Before commissioning, make sure that all seals and plugs for the plug-in
connections are correctly installed and not damaged to prevent liquids and
foreign bodies from entering the product.
• Allow the product to acclimatize for a few hours prior to commissioning in order
to prevent water condensation from forming in the housing.
• Make sure that all electrical and pneumatic connections are either in use or
covered.
• Check the safety requirements according to DIN EN 619.
• Only commission a product that has been completely installed.
• Make sure that all the safety equipment which forms part of the product is
present, has been properly installed, and is fully functional. Do not move,
bypass or disable any safety equipment.
• Do not reach into moving parts.
• Check the product for malfunctions.
• Make sure that only authorized personnel perform the following tasks within the
scope of the product's intended use:
– Starting or operating the system or interfering with its normal operation.
– Operating component or part adjusters.
• Only allow people to be in the immediate vicinity of the product when it is
operating if they are authorized by the owner to be there. This also applies when

functioning properly.
• Following an EMERGENCY STOP or in the event of a fault or other irregularity,
turn the product off and secure it against being switched back on.

once you have established and rectified the cause of the fault.

unobstructed.
