1. Safety instructions
1.1 Symbols
The symbols in these instructions point out risks and have the following meaning:
Warning in case of risks.
Non-observance can result in malfunctioning.
Non-observance can result in malfunctioning and
personal injury.
Information on proper product handling.
1.2 Intended use
•
The KINAX WT717 transmitter is a precision instrument.It serves the
acquisition of angular position, processing and the provision of measured
values as electric output signals for the downstream device. Use the
transmitter for this purpose only.
•
The angular position transmitter is not intended to measure rotation speed.
•
The device is intended for installation in industrial plants and meets the
requirements of EN 61010-1.
•
Device versions with explosion protection may only be used in the
planned purposes. The operation in other explosive atmospheres is not
permissible.
•
Manufacturer is not liable for any damage caused by inappropriate
handling, modification or any application not according to the intended
purpose.
1.3 Commissioning
• Installation, assembly, setup and commissioning of
the device has to be carried out exclusively by skilled
workers.
• Observe manufacturer’s operating instructions.
• Check all electric connections prior to commissioning
the plant.
• If assembly, electric connection or other work on the
device and the plant are not carried out properly, this
may result in malfunctioning or breakdown of the
device.
• Safety measures should be taken to avoid any danger
to persons, any damage of the plant and any damage
of the equipment due to breakdown or malfunctioning
of the device.
• Do not operate the device outside of the limit values
stated in the operating instructions.
• Operation of device versions with explosion protection
is only permissible when...
- the details on the type label of the device match
the on-site conditions for the permissible Ex area
in use (group of equipment, equipment category,
zone, temperature class or maximum surface
temperature)
- the details on the type label of the device match
the electrical supply network
- the device is undamaged and
- it has been checked that there is no explosive
atmosphere, oils, acids, gases, vapors, radiation
etc. present during installation.
1.4 Repair work and modifications
Repair work and modifications shall exclusively be car
-
ried out by the manufacturer. In case of any tampering
with the device, the guaranty claim shall lapse. We
reserve the right of changing the product to improve it.
1.5 Disposal
The disposal of devices and components may only be
realised in accordance with good professional practice
observing the country-specific regulations.
1.6 Transport and storage
Transport and store the devices exclusively in their
original packaging. Do not drop devices or expose them
to substantial shocks.
2. Scope of delivery
1 Transmitter for angular position KINAX WT717
1 Operating instructions in German, French and English
1 Type examination certificate, only with ATEX-approval
3. Application
The KINAX WT 717 converts the angular position of a shaft into a
load-
independent
direct current signal, proportional to the angular position. The
robust housing makes this unit ideal for applications in rough environments.
Explosion-proof
“Intrinsically safe”
versions with I.S. measuring output
rounds off this series of transmitters.
