• Beckhoff Traceability Number, or BTN for short (as a serial number it clearly identifies each module) Date code The date code is an eight-digit number given by Beckhoff and printed on the EPX module. The date code indicates the build version in the delivery state and thus identifies an entire production batch but does not distinguish between the modules in a batch.

The specified tightening torque must be observed in order to be allowed to use the product in the hazardous area! • Mount plugs and protective caps on these connectors with a torque wrench; e.g. Beckhoff ZB8801. • Ensure the correct seating and tightening torque of pre-assembled protective caps. Protective caps are pre-assembled at the factory to protect connectors during transport.
For standardization, the core colors of the ZB9030, ZB9032 and ZK1090-3xxx-xxxx cables have been changed to the EN 61918 core colors: yellow, orange, white, blue. So there are different color codes in circulation. The electrical properties of the cables have been retained when the core colors were changed EPX3184-0022 Version: 1.1.0...
