AVENTICS | R412005817–BAL–001–AH | English
W
Only use AVENTICS products that are in perfect working order.
W
Follow all the instructions on the product.
W
Persons who assemble, operate, disassemble, or maintain
AVENTICS products must not consume any alcohol, drugs, or
pharmaceuticals that may affect their ability to respond.
W
To avoid injuries due to unsuitable spare parts, only use
accessories and spare parts approved by the manufacturer.
W
Comply with the technical data and ambient conditions listed in
the product documentation.
W
If unsuitable products are installed or used in safety-relevant
applications, this may result in unintended system operating
states that may lead to injuries and/or equipment damage.
Therefore, only use a product in safety-relevant applications if
such use is specifically stated and permitted in the product
documentation.
W
You may only commission the product if you have determined
that the end product (such as a machine or system) in which
the AVENTICS products are installed meets the country-
specific provisions, safety regulations, and standards for the
specific application.
Safety instructions related to the product
and technology
Danger of explosion while operating in explosive
atmospheres!
If the system in which the cylinder is to be installed is located in
an explosive atmosphere, it may ignite during operation.
O
Always comply with local installation regulations.
O
Carry out tasks in non-explosive atmospheres only with a
fire permit for these tasks. Use only non-sparking tools if
you still need to deal with the presence of an explosive
atmosphere.
Danger of explosion due to spark formation!
Electrostatic charging on the cylinder can cause sparks to form
and presents an explosion hazard in explosion protection zones.
O
Avoid electrostatic charging, e.g. by grounding the cylinder.
Mechanical loads lead to the formation of sparks and present
an explosion hazard.
O
Never twist or bend the cylinder, or mount it when it is
under tension.
O
Never expose the cylinder to impacts during transportation,
assembly, or operation.
O
Install the cylinder so that it is protected from the energy of
external impacts to the housing that can occur during
operation.
O
Avoid vibrations, e.g. by installing the system on a cushioned
base.
Some piston rod attachments and mounting elements permit
oscillating rotary or swivel movements of the cylinders. The use
of these elements as a radial friction bearing with
circumferential speeds above 1 m/s leads to impermissible
heating. Overheating can cause friction sparks, which present
an explosion hazard.
O
Make sure that the circumferential speed on the friction
surfaces does not exceed 1 m/s.
DANGER
Improperly installed compressed air lines!
Danger of injury!
O
Lay the compressed air lines so that no one can trip over
them.
Falling useful load!
With a vertical installation position of the cylinder, a suspended
load can fall when the compressed air supply is switched off.
O
Always secure the area below a suspended load.
Obligations of the system owner
As the owner of a system that will be equipped with ATEX
cylinders, you are responsible for
W
ensuring intended use,
W
ensuring that operating employees receive regular instruction,
W
ensuring that the operating conditions are in line with the
requirements for the safe use of the product,
W
ensuring that cleaning intervals are determined and complied
with according to environmental stress factors at the
operating site,
W
ensuring the observance of ignition hazards that develop due
to the installation of system equipment,
W
ensuring that no unauthorized repairs are attempted if there is
a malfunction.
3 General Instructions on
Equipment and Product Damage
Mechanical loads!
Cylinder damage!
O
Do not twist or bend the cylinder, or mount it when it is
under tension.
O
Avoid mechanical loads when connecting the tubing.
O
Make sure that the cylinder is not damaged by falling parts
or incorrect tool usage. Especially avoid damage to the
piston rod and seals. Provide protected installation for the
cylinder if necessary.
Unintended separation of the through piston rod!
If the cylinder's through piston rod is screwed-on, it may be
accidentally loosened during assembly.
O
Always apply opposing pressure to an acting point on the
piston rod on the same cylinder side during tightening jobs.
O
Never perform opposing countering or rotating motions on
both piston rod ends.
O
Observe the warning label.
