Safety Notes
General References
The enclosed operating instruction is intended for technically qualified personnel who has corresponding knowledge in the
field of measurement and industrial process & control technology.
The precise information about all safety notes contained in this operation manual and warnings, as well as its perfect
technical implementation are precondition for the safe installation, the initiation, the secure operation and the maintenance
of technology devices. For this purpose it is absolutely necessary that all measures are carried out by qualified personnel.
All persons concerned with the project planning, installation and service of devices, must be familiar to the security concepts
in automatic control and should be qualified in this sense.
For clarity reasons, the enclosed operating instruction can not represent complete details in all conceivable cases of
applications for the handling of devices. Further, we cannot consider the entire types of installation, handling and
maintenance. If you wish further information or if special problems occur, which were not ,or not at length represented in this
operating instruction, contact us, please.
The oblivion of the safety notes can and will lead to material damages, body injuries and death.
The devices may only be operated in accordance with the applications described in this operation manual. Built-in
devices may only be operated in appropriate installations.
With the connection and the initiation of the device, the customer accepts the general sale and delivery conditions. Further,
he accepts eventually incomplete operation manuals. The information described is without guarantee. Errors and changes
are reserved.
Intended Purpose, Improper Usage
A device is used for displaying, processing and controlling or regulation of processes. It shall not be used as the only tool for
the prevention of dangerous states to machines and plants. Machines and plants must be constructed in such a way, that
erroneous states can not lead to a dangerous situation for the staff (e.g. by independent limit switches, mechanical locking
devices). It must be guaranteed in particular that device-operating errors, its malfunction or it’s breakdown do not lead to
great property damages or danger for the staff. Consequently, the device then can be used to prevent the machine or the
technical installations from error conditions.
It is also important that the use of devices does not endanger precautions for the safety of technical installations.
Emergency-off settings must remain effective in all operation modes.
Installation Notes
The
devices
must be installed and connected by compliance with the relevant DIN- and VDE-norms. They must be installed
in such manner that an unintentional use is sufficingly excluded. The corresponding hardware and software safety
precautions are to be observed in such manner that an interruption of the supply and signal cables cannot lead to an
undefined or dangerous state. Supply and signal cables must be installed in such way, that disturbing signals (e.g. inductive
or capacitive intersperses) will not cause derogations to the function of devices.
Disturbance, Maintenance and Repair Notes
The devices do not contain parts which can be maintained on the customer side. Repairs shall be carried out by exclusively.
If assuming that a safe operation of the device is not possible anymore, it must be closed down and protected against
unintentional handling immediately. This, in particular, applies:
If the device shows visible damages
If the device is no longer operative
If parts of the device are loose or slack
If the connection cables show visible damages
Furthermore, we point out that all obligations of exclusively result from the respective sales contract in which the
guarantee has been conclusively settled.
