3 BASIC SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
These safety instructions do not consider any contingencies
or incidents which occur during installation, operation and
maintenance.
The operator is responsible for observing the location-specific
safety regulations, also with reference to the personnel.
Risk of injury from high pressure.
▶
Before working on the system or device, switch off the pressure
and vent or drain lines.
Risk of electric shock.
▶
Before reaching into the device, switch off the power supply
and secure to prevent reactivation!
▶
Observe applicable accident prevention and safety regulations
for electrical equipment!
Risk of burns and risk of fire if used during long-term operation
through hot device surface.
The solenoid coil can get very hot during long-term operation.
▶
Keep the device away from highly flammable substances and
media and do not touch the device with bare hands.
Risk of explosion.
The solenoid coil and valve body form a closed system after instal-
lation. When used in potentially explosive atmosphere, there is a risk
of explosion if the system is opened in the operating state.
▶
Do not remove or open the system during operation.
Risk of explosion due to electrostatic discharge.
In the event of a sudden discharge from electrostatically charged
devices or individuals, there is a risk of an explosion in the potentially
explosive atmosphere.
▶
Take suitable measures to ensure that no electrostatic dis-
charges can build up in the potentially explosive atmosphere.
▶
Do not use the device in areas where there are powerful charge-
generating processes, mechanical reaming and cutting processes,
the spraying of electrons (e.g. in the vicinity of electrostatic coating
equipment) as well as pneumatically conveyed dust.
▶
Clean the device surface by gently wiping it with a damp or
antistatic cloth only.
To avoid the risk of explosion, the following must be observed for
operation in potentially explosive atmosphere:
▶
Information on the temperature class, ambient temperature,
degree of protection and voltage on the type label for potentially
explosive atmosphere.
▶
Installation, operation and maintenance may only be performed
by qualified specialists.
▶
The applicable safety regulations (including national regula-
tions) as well as general technical standards must be observed
during setup and operation.
▶
Repairs may only be performed by the manufacturer.
▶
The device must not be exposed to any mechanical and/or
thermal loads which exceed the limits specified in the operating
instructions.
▶
Before opening the terminal box, disconnect the power supply.
