Basic safety notes
WARNING
Risk of crushing through lever of position detection
When the positioner is commissioned, immediate movement of the valve may occur.
If the positioner is in "NO INIT" mode, the movement of the valve starts immediately as soon as
you press the left button on the positioner.
Danger of crushing and shearing with mounting kits which use a lever for position detection.
During commissioning and during ongoing operation, severing or squeezing of limbs could
occur as a result of the lever. Risk of injury when working on control valves due to the high
operating force of the pneumatic actuator.
• Do not reach into the range of motion of the lever following mounting of the positioner and
mounting kit.
WARNING
Improper commissioning in hazardous areas
Device failure or risk of explosion in hazardous areas.
• Do not commission the device until it has been mounted completely and connected in
accordance with the information in Installing/mounting (Page 15).
• Before commissioning take the effect on other devices in the system into account.
WARNING
Commissioning and operation with pending error
If an error message appears, correct operation in the process is no longer guaranteed.
• Check the gravity of the error.
• Correct the error.
• If the error still exists:
– Take the device out of operation.
– Prevent renewed commissioning.
