Residual Risks
3.3.1 Explosion Hazard
An explosion hazard cannot be entirely ruled out in hazardous areas despite the device
having a state-of-the-art design.
Perform all work steps in hazardous areas with the utmost care at all times!
Possible moments of danger (residual risks) can be categorised according to the following
causes:
Mechanical damage
The device can be pressed or scratched during transport, mounting or commissioning,
causing it to no longer be leak-tight. Such damage can, for example, render the device's
explosion protection partially or fully ineffective. This can result in explosions causing fatal or
severe injuries to persons.
Observe the weight and the maximum load-bearing capacity of the device;
see specifications on the packaging.
Transport the device only in the original packaging or in equivalent packaging.
Use transporting or lifting equipment which is suitable for the size and weight of the device
and can reliably carry the weight of the device.
Check the packaging and the device for damage. Report any damage to R. STAHL
immediately.
Store the device in the original packaging in a dry (no condensation) and stable position
which is safe from vibrations.
Do not damage the enclosure, built-in components or seals during mounting.
Excessive heating or electrostatic charge
Subsequently modifying the device, operating it outside of permitted conditions or failing to
clean it properly can cause it to heat up excessively or to become electrostatically charged,
causing it to produce sparks. This can result in explosions causing fatal or severe injuries to
persons.
Operate the device only within the prescribed operating conditions
(see the type plate and the "Technical data" chapter).
Only allow the manufacturer to paint the device and have this company coat it with special,
conductive paint.
Equip devices used outdoors in the elements with a protective roof or wall.
Regularly inspect the device for a material change (plastic). If any changes are identified,
test or replace the device.
Do not paint the device. Have all repairs performed by the manufacturer.
Comply with the area specification of EN IEC 60079-0 when fitting additional plastic
adhesive labels.
Clean the device only with a damp cloth.
