Application & Device Safety Considerations
Reading these Instructions

Before operating a device or application, read these instructions carefully and understand their safety implications. In some
situations, improper use may result in damage or injury. Keep this manual in a convenient location for future reference. Note
that these instructions may not cover all details or variations in equipment or cover every possible situation regarding
installation, operation, or maintenance. Should problems arise that are not covered sufficiently in the text, immediately contact
Customer Support for further information.
Protecting Operating Processes

The failure of a device or application – for whatever reason – may leave an operating process without appropriate protection and
could result in possible damage to property or injury to persons. To protect against this, review the need for additional backup
equipment or provide alternate means of protection (such as alarm devices, output limiting, fail-safe valves, relief valves,
emergency shutoffs, emergency switches, etc.). Contact Energy and Transportation Automation Solutions for additional
information.
Using Qualified Personnel

Installation, configuration, and any subsequent modifications to a device or application should only be performed by qualified,
suitably trained personnel information.
System Training

A well-trained workforce is critical to the success of your operation. Knowing how to correctly install, configure, program,
calibrate, and trouble-shoot your Emerson equipment provides your engineers and technicians with the skills and confidence to
optimize your investment. Energy and Transportation Solutions offers a variety of ways for your personnel to acquire essential
system expertise. Our full-time professional instructors can conduct classroom training at several of our corporate offices, at
your site, or even at your regional Emerson office. You can also receive the same quality training via our live, interactive Emerson
Virtual Classroom and save on travel costs. For our complete schedule and further information, contact the Energy and
Transportation Solutions Training Department at 800-338-8158 or email us at education@emerson.com.

equipment has been cleaned to safe levels, as defined and/or determined by applicable federal, state and/or local law
regulations or codes. You also agree to indemnify ETS and hold ETS harmless from any liability or damage which ETS may incur or
suffer due to your failure to ensure device cleanliness.
