6. Fitting
6.1 General information on fitting
Observe the instructions in section 3, "Safety instructions"!
Fitting work must be done with great care by trained and qualified personnel (see "Qualified personnel" on
page 3 of this manual).
As early as during the planning phase it must be ensured that sufficient space is available for installation
and subsequent care and maintenance work.
Adequate lifting equipment must be available before beginning the fitting work.
DANGER
Danger of explosion
Risk of explosion when operating in potentially explosive areas.
The conductivity and coating thickness of the paint applied may give rise to electrostatic charges and
are potential ignition sources.
If coated couplings are used in potentially explosive areas, the requirements made of the conductivity
of the coating and the limitation on the thickness of the coat applied must be observed in accordance with
standard "DIN EN 13463­1". Where coatings have a thickness < 200 μm, no electrostatic charge is to
be expected. Where coatings are thicker than 200 μm, an electrostatic charge, e.g. by cleaning the
coupling, must be avoided.
DANGER
Danger of explosion
Risk of explosion when operating in potentially explosive areas through damage.
Damaged coupling modules and coupling parts are potential explosion hazards.
Use only undamaged coupling components. Operating the coupling with damaged coupling parts is not
permitted in potentially explosive environments in accordance with Directive 2014/34/EU.
DANGER
Danger of explosion
Risk of explosion when operating in potentially explosive areas.
Incorrect changes made to the coupling will create ignition sources.
Any changes on the part of the user are not permitted. This applies equally to safety features designed
to prevent accidental contact. For the use in potentially explosive environments the protective
equipment must comply at least with type of protection IP2X.
WARNING
Risk of serious injury through flying fragments
Risk of serious injury through flying fragments and/or risk of damage to the coupling.
– The order of the described fitting steps must be adhered to.
– Adhere to specified tightening torques. Observe the instructions relating to cleaning and/or treatment
of the bolts with auxiliary materials.
– No welding work must be done at all on the coupling.
– Only undamaged coupling parts must be used. In particular the teeth, holes, screw threads and joining
and sealing surfaces must not be damaged.
