friction) on the device surface must be excluded at any time, since they will lead to
propagating brush discharges and therefore to ignition of a potentially explosive at-
mosphere. This safety instruction also applies to fireproof coatings or covers available
as an option.
Even when using a stem protection tube, no charge generating processes must take
place neither at the pertaining plastic protective cap nor at the V-seal. Otherwise po-
tentially explosive electrostatic discharges can occur. Therefore, only clean compo-
nents using a damp cloth for example.
rently applicable standard according to ISO 80079-36/ -37. Hot surfaces, mechanically
generated sparks as well as static electricity and stray electric currents were identified
and assessed as major potential ignition sources. Protective measures to prevent the
likelihood that ignition sources arise were applied to the gearboxes. This includes in
particular lubrication of the gearbox, the degree of protection of the enclosure protec-
tion and the warnings and notes contained in this operation manual.
the application. Incorrect settings might present a danger to the application, e.g. cause
damage to the valve or the installation. The manufacturer will not be held liable for any
consequential damage. Such risk lies entirely with the user.
• Correct transport, proper storage, mounting and installation, as well as careful
commissioning.
• Only operate the device if it is in perfect condition while observing this manual.
• Immediately report any faults and damage and allow for corrective measures.
