    In case operators intend to use the positioner in other applications or con- ditions than specified, contact SAMSON. SAMSON does not assume any liability for damage resulting from the failure to use the de- vice for its intended purpose or for damage caused by external forces or any other external factors.
  • Page 8 Î Check with the plant operator for details on further protective equipment. Revisions and other modifications Revisions, conversions or other modifications of the product are not authorized by SAMSON. They are performed at the user's own risk and may lead to safety hazards, for example. Fur- thermore, the product may no longer meet the requirements for its intended use.
  • Page 9 Safety instructions and measures − Servicing explosion-protected devices If a part of the device on which the explosion protection is based needs to be serviced, the device must not be put back into operation until a qualified inspector has assessed it according to explosion protection requirements, has issued an inspection certificate, or given the device a mark of conformity. Inspection by a qualified inspector is not required if the manufacturer performed a routine test on the device before putting it back into op- eration.

For operation of the inductive limit contact, the corresponding switching amplifier (see sec- tion 5.16) must be connected to the output circuit. When the tag (1) is located in the inductive field of the switch, the switch assumes a high re- sistance. When it moves outside the field, the switch assumes a low resistance. Normally, the limit contact is adjusted in such a way that it will provide a signal in both end positions of the valve.
