Commissioning
8.1
Safety information on commissioning
The explosion protection regulations must be observed during commissioning:
●
Do not remove, add or change any components on the sender/receiver unit unless
described and specified in the official manufacturer information, otherwise the approval
for use in potentially explosive atmospheres becomes void.
●
Follow the sequence of the commissioning procedure described in this Section.
●
Adhere to the prescribed maintenance intervals (
see “Maintenance plan”, page 91
●
Do not insert or remove the power supply plug on the sender/receiver unit when under
voltage.
●
System components without Ex marking must not be used in potentially explosive
atmospheres.
●
Ex atmospheres
– Observe regulations for transport in Ex atmospheres, e.g. no transport of packaging
materials in Ex atmospheres.
– Do not perform installation work in Ex atmospheres.
Commissioning, decommissioning and cleaning may only be performed when it is
verified that no explosive media are present (verification by gas detector).
– Do not open or close the sender/receiver unit enclosure in Ex atmospheres.
●
Ex protection zone
– Only employ trained personnel in the Ex protection zone.
– Only use suitable tools for the Ex protection zone.
– Observe behavior rules to prevent sparks.
– Only work that does not affect ignition protection is allowed.
8.2
