WARNING
Water in compressed air line
Device damage and possibly loss of type of protection. The factory setting for the purging
air selector is "IN". In the "IN" position, water from the compressed air line may enter the
device from the pneumatics during initial commissioning.
Before commissioning, make sure that no water is present in the compressed air line.
If you cannot be sure that there is no water in the compressed air line:
Set the purging air selector to "OUT". In this way, you prevent water from the
compressed air line from penetrating the device.
Only set the purging air selector to "IN" again when all water has been discharged from
the compressed air line.
