1 Safety instructions
The end user or the contractor must ensure that all legal requirements, directives,
guidelines, national regulations and recommendations with respect to assembly, elec-
trical connection, commissioning and operation are met at the place of installation.
Depending on the device version, this includes:
• Standards and directives such as IEC 60079:
Part 14: Electrical installations design, selection and erection.
Part 17: Electrical installations inspection and maintenance.
• Configuration guidelines for the respective fieldbus or network applications.
All personnel working with this device must be familiar with the safety and warning in-
structions in this manual and heed the instructions given. Safety instructions and
warning signs on the device must be observed to avoid personal injury or property
damage.
carried out by suitably qualified personnel authorised by the end user or contractor of
the plant only.
Prior to working on this product, the staff must have thoroughly read and understood
these instructions and, furthermore, know and observe officially recognised rules re-
garding occupational health and safety.
Work performed in potentially explosive atmospheres is subject to special regulations
which have to be observed. The end user or contractor of the plant is responsible for
respect and control of these regulations, standards, and laws.
friction) on the device surface must be excluded at any time. Highly efficient charge
generating processes will lead to propagating brush discharges and therefore to igni-
tion of a potentially explosive atmosphere. This safety instruction also applies to fire-
proof coatings or covers available as an option.
When using a stem protection tube, any type of charge generating processes must be
excluded at its protective cap as well as the V-seal (e.g. only wipe with a damp cloth).
Otherwise, ignitable electrostatic discharges might occur.
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 protection level of enclosure protection and
the warnings and notes contained in these operation instructions.
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 these instruc-
tions.
• Immediately report any faults and damage and allow for corrective measures.
• Heed recognised rules for occupational health and safety.
• Heed national regulations.
