3 Safety
3.1 Safety instructions
– The device can be used under the stated operating conditions in zone 2, explo-
sive gas atmospheres, and in zone 22, explosive dust atmospheres.
– The device with the lowest category determines the category of the entire
product for the operation of service unit combinations.
– All work must be carried out outside of potentially explosive areas.
– Only operate the device with a suitable operating medium è Technical data
– The device is not intended for use with other fluids.
– Use the device in its original status without any unauthorised modifications.
– The device may only be used in the delivered configuration in a potentially
explosive atmosphere.
3.2 Intended use
Service unit components and service unit combinations are intended for use for
the preparation of compressed air.
3.3 Identification X: special conditions
– Danger of electrostatic discharges.
– When using devices with a condensate drain, make sure that the operating
medium has a pressure dew point £ –10 °C.
– Limit overvoltage to 140% of the maximum nominal voltage.
– Do not disconnect when powered.
– Use an additional strain relief for cables upstream of the plug.
– Protect the device from mechanical impact.
– Protect the device from UV radiation.
4 Function
Service unit components and service unit combinations include function for com-
pressed air preparation, e.g. filters or branching modules.

WARNING
The discharge of electrostatically charged parts can lead to ignitable sparks.
• Prevent electrostatic charging by taking appropriate installation and cleaning
measures.
• Include the device in the system's potential equalisation.
• Closed-loop controller: do not remove the rotary knob during operation in a
potentially explosive atmosphere.
• Closed-loop controller: use the knurled nut only for installation with an
earthed mounting bracket. When using other mounting components, remove
the knurled nut.
NOTICE
Draw in compressed air outside of the explosive atmosphere.
NOTICE
Strong charge-generating processes can charge non-conductive layers and coat-
ings on metal surfaces.
NOTICE
Escaping exhaust air can swirl up dust and create an explosive dust atmosphere.
NOTICE
Particulate matter in the compressed air can cause electrostatic charges.
– Observe the product labelling.
– Make sure that the contact between the service unit components and the
sub-bases is electrically conductive.
– Earth all service unit components and their combinations on the left or right
sub-base with the earthing screw.
– Prevent draw-in of ambient air by preventing negative pressure in the devices.
6 Maintenance and care
• Check the products regularly for correct functioning and service every
6 months.
7 Fault clearance
Malfunction
Audible leakage at the connections
Incomplete pressurisation of an output
Tab. 3: Fault clearance
The replacement of wearing parts and spare parts is possible in individual cases.
Repairs of this type must only be carried out by trained and authorised personnel.
• Please contact your Festo technical consultant.
• After assembly, check the electrical resistivity between the earthing screws on
the left-hand and right-hand sub-base è Technical data.
Remedy
Check fittings of the connections.
Ensure constant pressure in the system.
