required value according to IEC/EN 60079-0. The determined capacitance
is specified in the technical data.
Avoid electrostatic charges which could result in electrostatic discharges
while installing, operating, or maintaining the device.
Avoid inadmissibly high electrostatic charge of the cables and connection
lines.
Include the metal housing components in the equipotential bonding.
An electrostatic charge poses an ignition hazard in case of discharge.
Equipotential bonding must be achieved along the intrinsically safe
circuits.
8. Surrounding Enclosure
If additional surrounding enclosures are required, the following points must
be considered during installation:
l
Degree of protection according to IEC/EN 60529
l
Resistance to light according to IEC/EN 60079-0
l
Resistance to impact according to IEC/EN 60079-0
l
Resistance to chemical agents according to IEC/EN 60079-0
l
Thermal endurance according to IEC/EN 60079-0
l
Electrostatics according to IEC/EN 60079-0
Mount the device so that it complies with the specified degree of
protection according to IEC/EN 60529.
Ensure that the surrounding enclosure is not damaged, distorted, or
corroded.
Ensure that all seals are clean, undamaged, and correctly fitted.
9. Operation, Maintenance, Repair
Prior to using the product make yourself familiar with it. Read the
instruction manual carefully.
Do not repair, modify, or manipulate the device.
Do not use a damaged or polluted device.
If there is a defect, always replace the device with an original device.
If there is a defect, the device must be repaired by Fuchs.
Remove the dust before opening the surrounding enclosure.
If the device is installed in potentially explosive dust atmosphere, remove
dust layers which exceed 5 mm in regular intervals.
If cleaning is necessary while the device is located in a hazardous area, in
order to avoid electrostatic charging only use a clean damp cloth.
Observe IEC/EN 60079-17 for maintenance and inspection.
Retrieve the temperature class dependant temperature ranges from the
EU-type examination certificate.
10. Delivery, Transport, Disposal
Check the packaging and contents for damage.
Check if you have received every item and if the items received are the
ones you ordered.
Keep the original packaging. Always store and transport the device in the
original packaging.
Store the device in a clean and dry environment. The permitted ambient
conditions must be considered, see datasheet.
The device, built-in components, packaging, and any batteries contained
within must be disposed in compliance with the applicable laws and
guidelines of the respective country.
