  • Page 5: Safety Instructions And Measures

    In case operators intend to use the limit switch in other applications or conditions than specified, contact SAMSON. SAMSON does not assume any liability for damage resulting from the failure to use the device for its intended purpose or for damage caused by external forces or any other external factors.
  • Page 6 Î Observe the requirements for personal protective equipment specified in the valve docu- mentation. 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. Warning against residual hazards To avoid personal injury or property damage, plant operators and operating personnel must prevent hazards that could be caused in the control valve by the process medium, the operat- ing pressure, the signal pressure or by moving parts by taking appropriate precautions.
