2.1 Safety information for ATEX designs

Intended use
Qualification of personnel
This chapter lists all safety information for ATEX designs. Safety informa‐
tion is listed again at the relevant points in these operating instructions.
This safety information is supplementary to or replaces the safety informa‐
tion for non-ATEX designs. If the safety information for ATEX designs con‐
tradicts the other safety information, then the safety information in this
chapter applies to ATEX designs.
Only operate the pump in premises at risk from explosion in an ATEX
n
designs in accordance with the applicable guidelines.
Do not expose the ATEX design to any sources of ionising radiation or
n
electromagnetic high frequency radiation in the range 10
or laser radiation or ultrasound or lightning without putting in place
measures in line with EN 80079-38.
The ATEX design is not intended for the metering of electrically non-
n
conductive media (conductivity less than 50 pS/m).
The ATEX design may not meter media, which tend to produce exo‐
n
thermic reactions or self-ignite (examples of exothermic reactions:
pyrophoric substances with air, alkali metal with water, decomposition
of organic peroxides, polymerisation reactions), without taking effec‐
tive measures in accordance with EN 80079-38.
