Proper Mounting - Siemens SIPART PS2 6DR5 series Operating Instructions Manual

CAUTION
Unsuitable compressed air
Device damage. As a general rule, the positioner must only be operated with dry and clean compressed air.
● Use the customary water separators and filters. An additional dryer is required in extreme cases.
● Use dryers, especially if you operate the positioner at low ambient temperatures.
CAUTION
Prior to working on the control valve
Danger of injury.
● Before starting work on the control valve, move it into the safety position.
● Make sure that the control valve has reached the safety position.
● If you only interrupt the pneumatic auxiliary power to the positioner, it may be the case that the safety position is only
reached following a certain delay.
WARNING
Mechanical impact energy
Protect the 6DR5...0-.G...-.... version of the positioner from mechanical impact energy greater than 1 joule; this ensures
that the IP66 degree of protection is guaranteed.
When mounting, observe the following sequence imperatively to avoid injuries or mechanical damage to the
positioner/mounting kit:
1. Mount the positioner mechanically.
2. Connect the electrical auxiliary power supply.
3. Connect the pneumatic auxiliary power supply.
4. Commission the positioner.
