    Safety instructions and measures Intrinsic safety rendered ineffective in intrinsically safe devices. Every time the positioner is operated, even not within the plant (e.g. during maintenance, calibration and work on equipment), it must be ensured that the conditions for intrinsical- ly safe circuits are observed.
  • Page 12 Safety instructions and measures Malfunction due to initialization not yet completed. The initialization causes the positioner to be calibrated to adapt it to the mounting situa- tion. After initialization is completed, the positioner is ready for use. Î Initialize the positioner on first start-up. Î Re-initialize positioner after changing the mounting position. Risk of positioner damage due to incorrect grounding of the electric welding equip- ment.

The requirements according to Clause 6.1.3 apply to the cable entries and conduit systems accordingly. – The degree of ingress protection is verified by a test according to IEC 60529 and EN 60079-0 (e.g. performed by VDE). Î For use in the presence of combustible dust in compliance with type of protection Ex tb IIIC (protection by enclosure), observe clause 5.6.3 of EN 60079-14.
