NOTE ON EXPLOSION PROTECTION
Temperatures over 70 °C on the pneumatic cylinder in the area of the limit switch result
in the limit switch malfunctioning.
If this is not observed, the explosion protection could be disabled.
If the cleaning medium and/or container temperatures exceed 70 °C, the supplied
resistance thermometer must be installed on the pneumatic cylinder, see
Figure 5.2-11: Resistance thermometer position
Connect, calibrate and evaluate the resistance thermometer according to the
manufacturer's instructions.
The signal that corresponds to a temperature of 66 °C must be set as a limit value.
All values from 66 °C must trigger a fault and the retractor system must be placed in
a secure state.
The cause of the temperature increase must be determined and solved immediately.
Before reactivation and confirmation of the fault, all limit switches and all throttle
check valves (see
) must be replaced by original spare
parts.
NOTE ON EXPLOSION PROTECTION
The device must have a flow resistance between the piston rod and the housing.
If this is not observed, the explosion protection could be disabled.
A flow resistance of ≤ 1 MΩ between the piston rod and the housing must be
guaranteed on the TANKO-RT/RTS. This must be ensured by appropriate
measurements (see
