2.4 Personnel qualifications
Assembly and commissioning require basic electrical and pneumatic knowledge.
Assembly and commissioning may therefore only be carried out by qualified elec-
trical or pneumatic personnel or an instructed person under the direction and su-
pervision of qualified personnel. Qualified personnel are those who can recognize
possible hazards and institute the appropriate safety measures, due to their pro-
fessional training, knowledge, and experience, as well as their understanding of
the relevant regulations pertaining to the work to be done. Qualified personnel
must observe the rules relevant to the subject area and have qualifications ac-
cording to the Technical Rules for Operational Safety (TRBS 1203).
2.5 General safety instructions
1. Observe the regulations for accident prevention and environmental protec-
tion for the country where the device is used and at the workplace.
2. Do not modify or convert the device.
3. Only use the device within the performance range provided in the technical
data.
4. The warranty will not apply if the product is incorrectly assembled.
5. Do not place any improper mechanical loads on the product under any cir-
cumstances.
2.6 Safety instructions related to the product and technology
2.6.1 During assembly
Make sure the relevant system component is not under pressure or voltage
u
before assembling the product or when connecting and disconnecting plugs.
2.6.2 During operation
1. Only commission the sensor after it has been completely assembled, as well
as correctly connected and tested.
2. Observe the operating conditions and data printed on the relevant sensor or
stated on its rating plate.
3. Do not disconnect plugs or lines when the sensor is under voltage.
2.7 ATEX – information on explosion protection
The sensors are certified and labeled according to the enclosed declaration of
conformity.
They can be used
• with gases, mists, or vapors in zone 2
• with flammable dust particles in zone 22
2.7.1 Explanations concerning identification
Year of manufacture of the sensor: The first two digits in the 5-digit
date code on the rating plate indicate the year and the last two digits
indicate the week.
II 3G Ex ec IIC T4 Gc X
II 3D Ex tc IIIC T135°C Dc X
Due to the small size of the sensor, the ATEX identification is located on a cable
flag.
Danger of an ignition source due to impermissible operating conditions, con-
nections, and parameters!
Operating the sensor under impermissible operating conditions can result in
an explosion.
1. Observe the permissible operating conditions, in particular the ambient
temperature and the mechanical protection for the device.
2. The ATEX sensor is only intended for complete installation in suitable T-
slots.
3. Note the limited temperature range for ATEX conditions.
4. Do not disconnect the connecting cable from the sensor if it is under volt-
age.
5. Observe the relevant Ex guidelines for installation, maintenance, and re-
pair, especially EN 60079-14.
