Using In Ex Environments - Beckhoff XTS Startup Manual

Safety
Danger from magnetic fields!
In particular, the magnetic field poses a danger to:
• Persons with cardiac pacemakers (the magnetic field may cause the pacemaker to
switch to test mode and thus cause a cardiac arrest!)
• Persons with magnetically conductive implants
• Magnetic data storage devices
• Chip cards with magnetic strips, and
• Electronic devices
• Also keep in mind that the magnetic fields can influence implanted defibrillators and
make external defibrillators inoperable.
• Ensure a safety distance of 500 mm to all magnetic parts. Also, make sure that there is
no direct contact with magnetic components near parts that are susceptible to interfer-
ence.
The national regulations and guidelines applicable in other countries must be followed!
Also note the requirements of BGV B 11 in connection with magnetic fields (BGV B 11
Section 14).
