explosive area. They do not possess the separate "Ex"
type label denoting the approval for use in potentially
explosive environments.
▶ The use of alkaline cleaning agents is not permitted for
cleaning the surface of the device.
▶ If the position of the valve has a bearing on safety concerns
in the event of a power failure: Only use devices that have
a SAFEPOS energy-pack (optional energy-pack).
▶ When using the device, observe the authorised data,
operating conditions and deployment conditions spec-
ified in the contract documents and in the operating
instructions.
▶ Protect device from harmful environmental influences!
(e.g. radiation, air humidity, fumes). For any matters requir-

medium, the surface of the device may become hot.
▶ Only touch the device when wearing protective gloves.
▶ Keep the device away from highly flammable substances
and media.
Risk of crushing by mechanically powered parts.
▶ Installation work on the control cone, diaphragm and valve
body must only be performed while electrically isolated.
▶ For devices with SAFEPOS energy-packs: Ensure that the
SAFEPOS energy-pack is fully discharged. Wait until the
LED ring is no longer lit and ensure that the LED status is
not in
"LED off"
mode.
▶ Do not reach into the openings of the valve body.
Risk of uncontrolled process in the event of a power failure.
▶ For devices without the optional SAFEPOS energy-pack,
the valve will not stop in a defined position in the event of a
power failure.
▶ If the position of the valve has a bearing on safety concerns
in the event of a power failure: Only use devices that have
a SAFEPOS energy-pack (optional energy-pack).
▶ Select a valve position that is safe in respect of the process
in the SAFEPOS menu.
Danger due to loud noises.
▶ Depending on the operating conditions, the device may gen-
erate loud noises. More detailed information on the likelihood
of loud noises is available from the relevant sales office.
▶ Wear hearing protection when in the vicinity of the device.
Discharge of medium if packing gland worn.
▶ Relief bore must be regularly inspected for any medium
leakages.
▶ If medium is leaking from the relief bore, the packing gland
must be replaced (see chapter "Maintenance").
▶ If the medium is hazardous, secure the area around the leak-
age to prevent risks.
General hazardous situations.
To prevent injuries, observe the following:
▶ In potentially explosive environments the device must
only be used in accordance with the specifications on the
separate "Ex" type label.
▶ In potentially explosive atmospheres, only use devices with
a separate "Ex" type label for use in such atmospheres.
▶ The additional information and safety instructions relating
to potentially explosive atmospheres enclosed with the
device or the separate operating instructions relating to
potentially explosive atmospheres must be heeded when
using the device.
