Information and symbols directly on the product must be observed. They may not be removed and must be fully legible at all times. Intended use D400 positioners are electro-pneumatic positioning devices for use with pneumatically controlled actuators. The device may only be used for the applications listed in these operating instructions and in the data sheet.
Using the device in a manner that does not fall within the scope of its intended use, disregarding this instruction, using underqualified personnel, or making unauthorized alterations releases the manufacturer from liability for any resulting damage. This renders the manufacturer's warranty null and void. D400 EN - 5 CI/TZIDC/110/120-EN...
Failure to observe this safety information may result in damage to or destruction of the product and/or other system components. IMPORTANT (NOTICE) This symbol indicates operator tips, particularly useful information, or important information about the product or its further uses. It does not indicate a dangerous or damaging situation. D400 6 - EN CI/TZIDC/110/120-EN...
Important – Use in areas with combustible dust • To prevent loss of its ignition-proof classification, the housing may not be opened. • Use only cable glands that conform to protection type ≥ IP 65. • Avoid hazardous sliding brush discharges. CI/TZIDC/110/120-EN D400 EN - 7...
Incorrect parameter values can cause the valve to move unexpectedly. This can lead to process failures and result in injuries. Before recommissioning a D400 positioner that was used at another location, the device must always be reset to factory settings. Never start Autoadjust before restoring factory settings.
