Two-Channel Controller TOPAX DE
1.8 Safety instructions for installation, maintenance and
inspection
The operating company must ensure that all installation, maintenance
and inspection work is carried out by qualified and authorised personnel.
WARNING!
Installation and maintenance work on the equip-
ment must only be carried out after the de-
vice has been disconnected from the power
supply. The device must be prevented from
being switched on again during the above work.
Auxiliary modules should be fitted/removed in this
condition. Cables should also only be attached in this
condition.
ATTENTION!
Before opening the device, ensure that it cannot suf-
fer damage through electrostatic discharge. The fit-
ter is to perform all necessary measures to this end
(e.g. touch a metal conductor which is grounded).
Use ESD-compliant, conducting tools when chang-
ing electronics components and connecting the ca-
ble. Wherever possible, avoid contact with electronic
components with bare hands or uninsulated tools.
Neglecting of these instructions can lead to severe damages of
TOPAX and loss of warranty.
All safety mechanisms and guards must be refitted and reactivated as
soon as the work is completed.
ATTENTION!
As well as faulty installation, incorrect controller set-
tings (setpoint, parameter and configuration level
data, and device-internal modifications) can impair
the process or result in damage.
There should always be a safety device independent of the controller.
Configurations may only be carried out by technical personnel! If neces-
sary use password protection. Always comply with the safety regulations
of the country of use.
1.9 Modifications and obtaining spare parts
TOPAX may be converted or changed only by qualified technical person-
nel.
If the configuration of the TOPAX is wrongly made by assembly or ser-
vice personnel, errors and dangers in the function of the machine can
result. In this case, the manufacturer declines any liability.
ATTENTION!
Only genuine manufacturer spare parts and sensors
may be used. Failure to comply will invalidate the
warranty.
