2. Safety instructions
These operating instructions contain information and safety regulations that must
be followed to ensure safe and reliable operation of the unit under the described
conditions. Failure to follow the information and instructions can have dangerous
consequences or may contravene applicable regulations.
Please take the time to carefully read through the owner’s manual before
you start using the unit. In the event of any doubt or discrepancies (for ex-
ample, due to translation or printing errors), the German version of these
operating instructions shall prevail.
3. Errors and load restrictions
If there is any risk that the safety or integrity of the unit has been compromised,
the unit must be taken out of operation immediately and removed from the Ex-area
without delay.
Action must be taken to prevent the device from being accidentally placed into
operation again.
We recommend sending the unit to the manufacturer to be examined.
The safety and reliability of the unit may be at risk if, for example:
- Damage is visible on the housing
- The unit has been subjected to excessive loads for which it is not designed
- The unit has been improperly stored
- The unit has been damaged in transit
- Labels or markings on the unit are illegible
- Malfunctions occur
- Permitted tolerances or threshold values have been exceeded
In the unlikely event that the product becomes faulty, it is recommended that any
repairs are carried out only by ecom instruments GmbH as the use of non-ecom
spare parts invalidates both the warranty and the Ex-certification.
4. Safety regulations
Persons using the unit must observe the standard safety regulations and read the
certificate to prevent incorrect operation or misuse of the unit.
