requirements for functional safety. You can find these requirements in the
functional safety documentation under www.pepperl-fuchs.com.
Due to constant revisions, documentation is subject to permanent change.
Please refer only to the most up-to-date version, which can be found under
www.pepperl-fuchs.com.
5. Intended Use
The device is only approved for appropriate and intended use.
Ignoring these instructions will void any warranty and absolve
the manufacturer from any liability.
Only use the device in the industrial location.
The device must only be operated in the specified ambient temperature
range and at the specified relative humidity without condensation.
Only use the device stationary.
Take the intended use of the installed devices from the corresponding
documentation.
Take the intended use of the connected devices from the corresponding
documentation.
The I/O modules, com units, power supplies, and bus termination modules
of the remote I/O system must only be used together with the associated
backplanes.
The backplane connections are non-intrinsically safe.
If you use the device in safety-related applications, observe the
information for safety function and safe state.
6. Improper Use
Protection of the personnel and the plant is not ensured if the device
is not used according to its intended use.
The device is not suitable for isolating signals in power installations unless
this is noted separately in the corresponding datasheet.
7. Mounting and Installation
Prior to mounting, installation, and commissioning of the device you
should make yourself familiar with the device and carefully read the
instruction manual.
Observe the installation instructions according to IEC/EN 60079-14.
If you install the device in safety-related applications, observe the
requirements for functional safety.
Observe the instruction manuals for the associated backplanes.
You can find the data for electrical values and parameters in the
corresponding datasheets.
Observe the tightening torque of the screws.
DOCT-6778A / 2024-12
The device must be installed and operated only in an environment of
overvoltage category II (or better) according to IEC/EN 60664-1.
Provide a transient protection. Ensure that the peak value of the transient
protection does not exceed 140 % of the rated voltage.
Only connect safety extra-low voltage circuits (SELV) or protective extra-
low voltage circuits (PELV) to the device.
The device must be installed and operated only in a controlled
environment that ensures a pollution degree 2 (or better) according to
IEC/EN 60664-1.
Do not mount the device at locations where an aggressive atmosphere
may be present.
Do not mount a damaged or polluted device.
Push the module into the slot until all rear catches have audibly engaged
in position. The module must engage twice.
Do not push the modules into the slots with too much force. The rear
connections of the devices may be damaged if using excessive force. In
this case the explosion protection can no longer be ensured.
Protect the circuit against overvoltage (e. g., lightning).
Avoid electrostatic charges which could result in electrostatic discharges
while installing, operating, or maintaining the device.
An electrostatic charge poses an ignition hazard in case of discharge.
Connection or disconnection of energized non-intrinsically safe circuits is
only permitted in the absence of a potentially explosive atmosphere.
The device may only be installed and operated in Zone 1 if mounted in a
surrounding enclosure, which corresponds to equipment protection
level Gb.
Requirements for Surrounding Enclosures
The device must be installed and operated only in surrounding enclosures
that
comply with the requirements for surrounding enclosures according to
l
IEC/EN 60079-0,
are rated with the degree of protection IP54 according to
l
IEC/EN 60529.
Ensure that the surrounding enclosure is not damaged, distorted, or
corroded.
Ensure that all seals are clean, undamaged, and correctly fitted.
Tighten all screws of the housing/housing cover with the appropriate
torque.
For cable glands only use incoming cable diameters
of the appropriate size.
Tighten all cable glands with the appropriate torque.
Close all unused cable glands with the appropriate sealing plugs.
Place warning marking "Warning – Refer to instruction manuals!" visibly on
the surrounding enclosure.
Place warning marking "Warning – Avoid electrostatic charge!" visibly on
the surrounding enclosure.
Place warning marking "Warning – Do not connect or disconnect
increased safety circuits when the circuits are energized and a potentially
explosive atmosphere is present!" visibly on the surrounding enclosure.
Observe the warning markings.
Do not remove the warning markings.
Requirements for Cables and Connection Lines
Observe the permissible core cross section of the conductor.
Observe the insulation stripping length.
When installing the conductors the insulation must reach
up to the terminal.
When using stranded conductors, crimp wire end ferrules
on the conductor ends.
Connectors for non-intrinsically safe circuits must be mechanically
secured.
Never pull the cable. A wire could become loose from the terminal and
protection against electric shock can no longer be ensured. Always pull
the terminal.
Unused cables and connection lines must be either connected to terminals
or securely tied down and isolated.
8. Operation, Maintenance, Repair
If you operate the device in safety-related applications, observe the
requirements for functional safety. In case of operating in low demand
mode, plan appropriate intervals for the proof test.
Do not use a damaged or polluted device.
The device must not be repaired, changed, or manipulated. In case of
failure, always replace the device with an original device.
Only use accessories specified by the manufacturer.
Observe IEC/EN 60079-17 for maintenance and inspection.
The device must only be operated in the specified ambient temperature
range and at the specified relative humidity without condensation.
If cleaning is required, use a clean water damp cloth.
If the device has already been operated in general electrical installations,
the device may subsequently no longer be installed in electrical
installations used in combination with hazardous areas.
Only remove the device with the integrated removal system. The
integrated removal system requires a two-step removal process.
