2.9 First commissioning / Commissioning
Prior to the first commissioning the equipment is to be checked regarding its suitability
in the respective zone according to its labeling. The values indicated on the nameplate
are not to be exceeded. With use of the equipment in areas which are potentially
explosive because of dust, a deposit of dust on the top-side which is more than 5 mm
thick is not permissible. Here the installation of an additional covering may be required
in circumstances where the deposit of dust cannot be reliably avoided.
The operational safety of the equipment and the correct functional arrangement of the
equipment inside the plant must be checked before commissioning. It may only be
used in a clean and undamaged condition.
2.10 Assembly, installation and dismantling
With installation and operation of the explosion protective equipment, one should
consider protection against hazardous environmental influences which limit the
intended use of the equipment. This could be protection against aggressive fluids or
weather protection for example. During installation, the IEC 60079-14 and
DIN EN 60079-14 as well as other national standards and regulations applicable at the
installation site are to be adhered to.
The information on the nameplate must be complied with.
The assembly of the equipment takes place according to the enclosure's established
mounting possibilities, but impacts on the shaft such as from hammer blows are to be
avoided.
In potentially explosive areas, the equipment's power supply line with mating
connector is to be routed in such a way that it is protected from damage and
mechanical failure. The maximum connection information on the nameplate must be
complied with.
For metal enclosures in potentially explosive areas an equipotential line with at least
4 mm
2
is required.
Wiring work, opening and closing of electrical connections may only be performed with
the power switched off.
Do not perform any welding work once the equipment has already been wired and
switched on.
Touching the equipment-connection contacts with bare hands is to be avoided, or
the respective ESD-protective measures are to be implemented.
