6. FAILURES - CAUSES AND REMEDIES
6.1 INSTRUCTIONS TO USE IN Ex HAZARDOUS AREAS
General
The following irregularities can serve as a guide for fault tracing.
Where the system is a complex one, all the other component units must be
included when tracing faults.
The coupling must run with little noise and without vibration in all operating
phases. Irregular behaviour must be treated as a fault requiring immediate
remedy. In case of fault the drive must be stopped at once. The necessary
measures for repair must be taken in accordance with the safety regulations.
Caution!
RATHI will not be bound by the terms of the guarantee or otherwise be
responsible in cases of improper use of the coupling, modifications carried out
Without RATHI’s agreement or use of spare parts not supplied by RATHI.
Danger!
When correcting the faults and malfunctions, the coupling must always be taken
out of service. Secure the drive unit to prevent it from being started up
unintentionally. Attach a warning notice to the start switch.
