Residual Risks
3.3.1 Explosion Hazard
Despite the device's state-of-the-art design, explosion hazards cannot be entirely eliminated
in hazardous areas.
▶
Perform all work steps in hazardous areas with the utmost care at all times!
▶
Transport, store, plan, mount and operate the device exclusively in compliance with the
technical data (see the "Technical data" chapter).
Possible hazards ("residual risks") can be categorized according to the following causes:
Mechanical damage
The device may be damaged during transport, mounting or commissioning. This kind of
damage may, for example, render the device's explosion protection partially or completely
ineffective. This may result in explosions causing serious or even fatal injury.
▶
Transport the device only in its original packaging or in equivalent, stable packaging.
▶
Check the packaging and the device for damage. Report any damage to R. STAHL
immediately. Do not commission a damaged device.
▶
Do not place any loads on the device.
▶
Store the device in its original packaging in a dry place (with no condensation), and make
sure that it is stable and protected against the effects of vibrations and knocks.
▶
Do not damage the enclosure, Ex joint face, built-in components and seals during
mounting (e.g. scratches, pressure).
▶
Tighten all cover screws to the specified tightening torque (see "Technical data" chapter).
When doing so, ensure that the cover screw included in the installation kit and the snap
ring are installed in each mounting hole.
▶
You may need to use a protective grid to protect the appliance from the effects of external
conditions.
Excessive heating or electrostatic charge
Operation outside of approved conditions or improper cleaning can cause the device to heat
up severely or to become electrostatically charged, causing it to produce sparks. This may
result in explosions causing serious or even fatal injury.
▶
Operate the device within the prescribed operating conditions only
(see the label on the device and the "Technical data" chapter).
▶
Mount and install the device in such a way that it is always operated within the permissible
temperature range.
▶
Gently clean the device with a damp cloth only.
