experience who can recognize and avoid the hazards that may
arise from electricity.
1.5 Foreseeable misuse
Any usage of the product other than as specified in this manual
is strictly prohibited and will invalidate its ATEX approval.
Particularly prohibited are:
•
Use outside the specified ambient temperature range.
•
Use of non-specified consumables.
•
Use of dirty lubricants or lubricants with air inclusions.
•
Use of C3 versions in areas with aggressive, corrosive
substances (e.g., high salt load).
•
Use of plastic parts in areas with high exposure to ozone, UV
light, or ionizing radiation.
•
Use to supply, convey, or store hazardous substances and
mixtures as defined in the CLP Regulation (EC 1272/2008) or
GHS with acute oral, dermal, or inhalation toxicity or
substances and mixtures that are marked with hazard
pictograms GHS01-GHS06 and GHS08.
• Use to supply, convey, or store Group 1 fluids classified as
hazards as defined in the Pressure Equipment Directive
(2014/68/EU) Article 13 (1) a).
•
Use to supply, convey, or store gases, liquefied gases,
dissolved gases, vapors, or fluids whose vapor pressure
exceeds normal atmospheric pressure (1013 mbar) by more
than 0.5 bar at their maximum permissible operating
temperature.
•
Use to supply, convey, or store lubricants containing volatile
solvents.
•
Use without proper safeguards against excessively high
pressures, in the case of pressurized products.
•
Use in a different, more critical explosion protection zone than
that specified on the type plate.
•
Use with a finish or paint coat applied improperly after
delivery. The finish or paint coat must meet the requirements
of the standards applicable to ATEX.
•
Use in potentially explosive gases and vapors whose ignition
temperature is less than 125% of the maximum surface
temperature.
•
Use in potentially explosive dusts whose minimum ignition
temperature and glow temperature are less than 150% of the
maximum surface temperature.
•
Use of lubricants with temperatures above the maximum
permissible ambient temperature.
• Use while failing to observe the prescribed repair and
maintenance intervals or the referenced documents.
1.6 Referenced documents

product
1.10 Notes on the type plate
The type plate provides important data such as the type
designation, order number, and sometimes regulatory
characteristics. To avoid loss of this data in case the type plate
becomes illegible, it should be entered in the manual.
