The following safety and warning instructions must be observed
unconditionally:
Any individual appointed to perform work to or with the FC1
must read and understand these operating instructions before
beginning work. This also applies if the individual concerned
has already worked with such a device or a similar one, or was
instructed by the manufacturer.
In order to avoid risks and to ensure that the FC1 performs in
an optimal manner, no changes or modifications that were not
expressly authorized by the manufacturer may be performed to
the device.
The FC1 must not be exposed to temperatures below -25°C or
above +60°C during storage.
A temperature that is between -10°C and +55°C must be
ensured while the FC1 is being operated.
The FC1 is supplied with power by means of 24V DC, and this
power supply must be protected externally using a 1A time-
delay fuse.
The grounding is connected to PE of the power supply socket
for equipotential bonding.
The range limits stated in the certificates of conformity for the
boards to be connected (e.g. EC type examination certificate
ATEX) must be observed.
If the device is used within the scope of legal metrology, the
range limits that are stated in the respective approval
certificate (e.g. EC type examination certificate MID) must be
observed.
