Use of the EdEx thrusters in potentially explosive areas for which
the EdEx thrusters are not suitable
Any unintended use or impermissible operating modes constitutes
misuse of the EdEx thrusters. For safety reasons, all applications not
listed in the intended use section are strictly prohibited by the
manufacturer.
All applications as an actuator always require confirmation from the
manufacturer. Applications as actuators that cause the power supply
for retracting the lifting rod to fail are not permitted due to the
associated risk of accidents.
Authorised and qualified staff must be deployed for intended use of
the EdEx thrusters. The scope of responsibility, authority and
supervision of personnel must be precisely stipulated by the operating
company.
Qualified staff are people who, due to their training, experience and
instruction, as well as their knowledge of applicable standards,
regulations, accident prevention regulations and operating conditions,
are authorised by the person responsible for system safety to perform
the relevant required tasks and are thereby able to identify and avoid
possible hazards.
Work on or with EdEx thrusters may only be performed by trained and
qualified staff who have received system-specific instructions, who
are authorised to do so and who have special knowledge and
experience within the corresponding field.
Contact EMG Automation GmbH if the required staff qualifications are
unclear.
