General Safety Information
The Safety section provides an overview of the safety aspects
to be observed for operation of JDF300. The device has been
constructed in accordance with the state of the art and is
operationally safe. It has been tested and left the factory in
perfect working conditions. The information in the manual, as
well as the applicable documentation and certificates, must be
observed and followed in order to maintain this condition
throughout the period of operation.
Full compliance with the general safety requirements must be
observed during operation of the device. In addition to the
general information, the individual sections in the manual
contain descriptions of processes or procedural instructions
with specific safety information. Only by observing all of the
safety information can you reduce to the minimum the risk of
hazards for personnel and/or environment. These instructions
are intended as an overview and do not contain detailed
information on all available models or every conceivable event
that may occur during setup, operation, maintenance work and
dismantling. For additional information, or in the event of
specific problems not covered in detail by these operating
instructions, please contact the manufacturer. In addition, ABB
declares that the contents of this manual are not part of any
prior or existing agreements, commitments or legal
relationships; nor are they intended to amend these. All
obligations of ABB arise from the conditions of the relevant
sales agreement, which also contains the solely binding
warranty regulations in full. These contractual warranty
provisions are neither extended nor limited by the information
provided in this manual.
Only qualified and authorized specialist personnel should be
charged with installation, electrical connection,
commissioning and maintenance of the field indicator.
Qualified personnel are persons who have experience in
installation, electrical connection, commissioning and
operation of the field indicator or similar devices and hold the
necessary qualifications such as:
• Training or instruction, i.e., authorization to operate and
maintain devices or systems according to safety
engineering standards for electrical circuits, high
pressures and aggressive media
• Training or instruction in accordance with safety
engineering standards regarding maintenance and use of
adequate safety systems.
For safety reasons, ABB draws your attention to the fact that
only sufficiently insulated tools conforming to DIN EN 60900
may be used. Since the field indicator may form part of a safety
chain, we recommend replacing the device immediately if any
defects are detected. In case of use in Hazardous Area non
sparking tools only must be employed. In addition, you must
observe the relevant safety regulations regarding the
installation and operation of electrical systems and the relevant
standards, regulations, guidelines about explosion protection.
Improper use
It is prohibited to use the device for the following purposes:
• As a climbing aid, e.g., for mounting purposes
• As a support for external loads, e.g., as a support for pipes.
• Adding material, e.g., by painting over the name plate or
welding/soldering on parts
• Removing material, e.g., by drilling the housing.
Repairs, alterations, and enhancements, or the installation of
replacement parts, are only permissible as far as these are
described in the manual. Approval by ABB must be requested
for any activities beyond this scope. Repairs performed by
ABB-authorized centers are excluded from this.
Technical limit values
The device is designed for use exclusively within the values
stated on the name plates and within the technical limit values
specified on the data sheets.
The following technical limit values must be observed:
• The maximum ambient operating temperature may not be
exceeded.
• The housing protection type must be observed.
• The supply voltage and power
Warranty provision
Using the device in a manner that does not fall within the scope
of its intended use, disregarding this manual, using
underqualified personnel, or making unauthorized alterations,
releases the manufacturer from any liability for any resulting
damage. This makes the manufacturer’s warranty null and void.
