open environments without additional weather protection.
4.2
Warnings:
•
Referring to the
Machinery Directive 2006/46/EU
, the
actuators can be classified as “partly completed
machinery” (see declaration of incorporation).
As a result, the actuator cannot put into service until the
machinery and/or the system, into which the actuator is to
be incorporated, has been declared in conformity with the
provisions of the
Directive 2006/42/EU
.
•
Actuators are designed, produced, and classified
according to the
ATEX Directive 2014/34/EU
.
The use of the actuators in potentially explosive
atmosphere zones must comply with the ATEX
classification indicated on the actuator nameplate and
according to the ATEX safety regulations.
•
It is important that the actuator is used only within the
working limits permitted in the technical specifications.
