Safety Instructions for Installation
NOTE ON EXPLOSION PROTECTION
Work on the device in a potentially explosive atmosphere is PROHIBITED!
If this is not observed, the explosion protection could be disabled.
Only allow instructed personnel to work in potentially explosive atmospheres.
The personal protective equipment must meet the explosion protection requirements.
Do not use a tool that could create sparks.
DANGER
Danger of ignition in potentially explosive atmosphere due to potential differences!
When filling and emptying containers with fluids, when recirculating, stirring, mixing and
spraying fluids and also when measuring, sampling and cleaning, the fluids themselves or
the interior of the container could be charged in a dangerous manner.
Differences in potential (e.g. electrostatic charge) can cause igniting sparks or heat,
which can act as an ignition source.
There is a risk of death or severe physical injury.
Only clean electrically conductive containers.
Make sure that any electrostatic charge is prevented. Also make sure that all electrically
conductive parts on the device and the container are grounded for potential equalization
to the same potential using grounding cables with a sufficient diameter.
Grounding must always be carried out before start-up of the device.
Avoid grounding faults (e.g. subsequent grounding of already charged objects or
equipment).
Do not secure or seal mechanical connections with electrically insulating materials
(such as sealing tape, sealant, adhesive, etc.), if it impairs the grounding of the device
on the container.
Within potentially explosive areas, potential equalization is required. “All conductive parts of the device
and the container must be joined in such a way that no dangerous potential differences can occur
between them. If there is a possibility that insulated metal parts can be charged and thus act as an
ignition source, grounding connections must be provided”
(excerpt from ISO 80079-36 “Non-electrical
equipment intended for use in potentially explosive atmospheres - Part 1 Basic concepts and
requirements”, section 6.7.2 Grounding connections for conductive parts).
