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 performs a routine test on the device before putting it back into operation. Document the passing of the routine test by attaching a mark of conformity to the device.
Safety instructions and measures 1.1 Notes on possible severe personal injury DANGER Risk of electric shock. Before starting up the solenoid valve, electrical installation work must be performed. An electric shock due to incorrect work practices may cause death. Î Before connecting wiring, performing any work on the device or opening the device, disconnect the power supply and protect it against unintentional reconnection.
Safety instructions and measures 1.2 Notes on possible personal injury WARNING Risk of personal injury due to moving parts on the valve. During operation and when the solenoid valve is triggered, the actuator stem moves through its entire travel range. Injury to hands or fingers is possible if they are inserted into the valve. Î While the valve moves, do not insert hands or fingers into the valve yoke and do not touch any moving valve parts.
