Device related hazards
DANGER
Explosion hazard
Death, serious injury or material damage may occur if an electrical plug connection
is removed in a potentially explosive atmosphere during operation or if the device is
subjected to hazardous knocks.
Only use the device in the following environments:
-
Environments not subject to explosion hazards
-
Potentially explosive atmosphere, Zone 22 (according to ATEX 94/9/EC)
Prevent the device from being subjected to hazardous knocks.
Only operate the device in potentially explosive atmospheres if it is correctly
mounted.
Switch off the device before removing the plug connections.
WARNING
Live parts in the device
When the device is opened, there is a risk of electric shock if live parts are touched.
The device must not be opened.
WARNING
Potential equalization currents
Large equalization currents between the protective ground systems of different de-
vices may cause operational malfunctions due to signal interference and may even
cause fires.
If necessary, a potential equalization conductor should be installed parallel to the
cable. This should have a cross-section that is a multiple of the cable shield.
CAUTION
Electrostatic discharge
Electrostatic discharge may damage or destroy electronic components.
Avoid contact with components (such as connector pins) that are susceptible to
electrostatic discharge.
Discharge (by touching a grounded metal object) any static charge accumulated
in your body before touching the device.
