Please read this document completely and carefully before commissioning or operating
the device.
2.1 Intended use
The hot runner controller is used to control the temperature of heating circuits and is designed for use under precisely
defined conditions, such as supply voltage and temperature. The operator must therefore ensure that the controller is
only used under operating conditions that comply with the technical data. The manufacturer is not liable for damage
resulting from non-compliance with the intended use.
The hot runner controller is not suitable for use beyond the limits defined in the technical data and during its design. In
addition, the use of spare parts from third parties and the implementation of non-described maintenance activities
constitute failure to comply with the intended use.
Alterations, conversions and other modifications are made exclusively at the operator’s own risk and could pose safety
hazards. The manufacturer and distributor of this device cannot be held liable for direct and indirect damage resulting
from improper handling or treatment.
2.2 Information for operators and users
The controllers are operated on the low-voltage network. The relevant safety regulations must be observed when
connecting up the controller and performing maintenance on it. In addition, the local and general safety regulations must
be observed for its installation and operation. The operator is responsible for compliance with these regulations. The
operator must additionally make this documentation available to the user and provide instruction in the correct operation
of the device. The user must be familiar with this documentation. In order to ensure reliable and safe operation, the
individual user is required to observe the information and warnings.
The controllers may only be brought into operation by authorised specialist personnel. Under the terms of these
operating instructions, specialist personnel are persons who can recognise and assess the dangers associated with the
work entrusted to them on the basis of their specialist training, their experience and their knowledge of standards.
The device is checked carefully prior to delivery and has passed the tests specified in the test plan for its production, in
conformity with the manufacturer’s valid quality guidelines. To prevent any damage to the controller, it must be
transported and stored in the correct manner. Further safety-related notices are marked in the individual sections of this
documentation.
