Notes And Warnings - BEAMEX MC5-IS User Manual

User Guide – MC5-IS Fieldbus Option for PROFIBUS PA

Notes and Warnings

This manual describes the use of MC5-IS and FI5-IS for PRO-
FIBUS PA. For additional fieldbus information, please refer to
your fieldbus control system manuals as well as the manuals
for instruments to be calibrated.
Terms like Function Block Parameters [AUTO, OOS (Out of
Service), MAN], Physical Block, Transducer Block etc.
should be familiar before attempting to calibrate any fieldbus
instruments.
The more instruments a fieldbus segment contains, the slower
the communication is. Be patient.
General Warnings
Do not use FI5-IS in any other way than as described in
this User Guide.
FI5-IS includes a rechargeable Battery Pack. They are
considered as hazardous waste. Dispose used batteries
properly according to local regulations.
Use the FI5-IS' battery charger in a non-hazardous indoor
location only. When charging, the environment tempera-
ture should be between 0 ... +35 °C (32 ... 95 °F). If the bat-
tery charger is broken, dispose it according to local waste
regulations and order a new charger from Beamex. Do not
connect a broken charger to FI5-IS.
Avoid short circuiting the batteries. The short circuit cur-
rent may cause burns to you, damage to the device or
even fire. The batteries may be replaced by Beamex or a
Beamex authorized service only.
Rechargeable batteries may vent small amounts of gas
during recharge. The vented gas mixture may be highly
explosive, but normally it diffuses rapidly into the atmos-
phere. To avoid danger, use only the original charger and
never recharge in a gas-tight container.
