Make sure that the following notes and instructions are observed.
Installation notes
1. The Inline controller conforms to the requirements of protection type "n" and can be in-
stalled in a zone 2 potentially explosive area. The Inline controller is a category 3G item
of electrical equipment.
The Inline controller meets the requirements of EN 60079-0:2009 and
EN 60079-15:2010.
2. The Inline controller must only be installed, started up, and maintained by qualified spe-
cialist personnel.
3. Please follow the installation instructions given in the user manual and the package slip.
4. When installing and operating the device, the applicable safety directives (including na-
tional safety directives), accident prevention regulations, as well as general technical
regulations must be observed.
5. For the safety data, please refer to the corresponding documentation (user manual,
package slip) and the certificates (declaration of conformity and other approvals, if ap-
plicable).
6. Access to the circuits inside the Inline controller is not permitted. Do not repair the Inline
controller yourself but replace it with an approved controller of the same type.
Repairs may only be performed by the manufacturer. The manufacturer is not liable for
damage resulting from noncompliance.
7. The IP20 (EN 60529) degree of protection for the device is designed for a clean and dry
environment.
8. Do not subject the Inline controller to mechanical strain and/or thermal loads that ex-
ceed the limits specified in the product documentation.
9. The Inline controller is not designed for use in potentially dust-explosive atmospheres.
If dust is present, install the device in suitable, approved housing. Please note the sur-
face temperature of the housing.
Installation in zone 2
1. Observe the specified conditions for use in potentially explosive areas.
2. Install the device in a suitable approved housing (with at least IP54 protection according
to EN 60529) that meets the requirements of EN 60079-15.
3. In potentially explosive areas, only snap the device onto the DIN rail and remove it from
the DIN rail and connect and disconnect the cables when the power is disconnected.
4. Connect the DIN rail to protective earth ground.
5. Only connect devices to the supply and signal circuits in zone 2 that are suitable for op-
eration in potentially explosive areas of zone 2 and for the conditions at the installation
location.
6. To ensure safe operation, the RJ45 connector needs to have a fully functioning locking
clip. Repair any damaged connectors immediately.
