Remarks for safe use in hazardous areas
Functions and features
• Use in hazardous areas according to the classification
II 3D
(group II, category 3D, apparatus for dust atmosphere).
The requirements of the standards EN 61241-1 and EN 61241-0 are met.
Shock test to EN 60947-5-2 with 0.5 joules.
• Marking

Installation / Set-up
The units must only be installed, connected and set up by qualified staff. The qualified staff
must have knowledge of protection classes, regulations and provisions for apparatus in
hazardous areas.
Check whether the classification (see "Marking" above and marking on the unit) is suitable
for the application.
Installation remarks / Installation
• Adhere to the relevant national regulations and provisions.
• The relevant installation regulations must be adhered to.
• Avoid electrostatic charging on housings and cables.
• To avoid electrostatic charging steps must be taken to ensure the equalisation of potential
of metal parts (plug housing, fixing elements, etc.).
• Protect the units and the cables efficiently against damage.
• To avoid soiling, do not remove the dust caps from the cable glands until introducing the
cables.
• For units with cable gland: To ensure the required minimum protection, the clamping screw
of the cable gland must be firmly tightened (see technical data sheet for tightening torque).
• Maintenance intervals are application-specific and therefore need to be defined by the
operator depending on the operating conditions.
• During maintenance, especially those parts on which the type of protection depends need
to be examined (e.g. integrity of the components of the cable gland, of the seals).
