2.4 Special safety instructions for usage in ATEX areas
Usage in ATEX zones 22 and 21
Combustible dust can cause explosions and thus cause serious or fatal injuries.
−
Ensure that all explosion-related parameters and operating modes are
observed.
−
Observe all instructions for usage in hazardous areas.
−
Ensure that the bulk material meets the specified requirements before the
conveyor is switched on.
−
Ensure that the cleaners are suitable for all explosion-related parameters and
operating modes of the application.
−
Ensure that the conveyor belts do not have any metallic connectors. All belt
connections must be vulcanised.
−
Ensure that the bulk material is free of foreign substances that could create
an ignition source for the dust/air mixture.
−
Ensure that any necessary metal-separating devices are operating
effectively.
−
Install cleaners in such a way that no metal part can contact moving
components even when the blade is completely worn.
−
Use only tools and aids that are approved for use in the respective ATEX
zone.
−
Ensure that the cleaners are tensioned against the conveyor belt with the
maximum forces / tension values specified.
−
Ensure that the earth connections of the cleaners are installed correctly.
−
Use only cleaners as special product variants that are suitable for use in
potentially explosive areas.
−
Measure the gas and dust content of the environment before using open
flames.
−
Prevent electrostatic charges, for example by cleaning plastic enclosures with
a dry cloth.
−
Work on earth connections, cabling, switching, control, regulation, automation
and all electrical components may be carried out only by trained electricians.
