1.1.1 Intended use
The rotary module series CR 12 / CR 16 / CR 20 is used for the rotary movement of
rigidly mounted loads in non-explosion hazardous ambient and deployment
conditions that are suitable for this module according to these Installation
Instructions.
The CR-module has been built according to the present state-of-the-art and the
recognized rules of technical safety. In spite of that its operation may lead to dangers
to life and limb of the user, damage to property or impair the function of the rotary
module.
NOTE
The CR-modules are exclusively designed for rotary movements in
any position with a torque of 0.45 Nm for the CR 12, 1.25 Nm for the
CR 16 and 2.2 Nm for the CR 20, which may represent a danger to
property and the environment if they are operated by unqualified
personnel.
Any other use is regarded as inadequate.
The manufacturer does not accept any liability for damage
resulting from such use. The risk is that of the user alone.
Intended use also includes paying attention to the Installation Instructions and
observing the maintenance and repair instructions specified by the manufacturer.
CAUTION
The CR-module may only be operated and serviced by
correspondingly trained personnel who have also profound
knowledge of the dangers.
The applicable regulations for prevention of accidents and the
other generally accepted safety-relevant and occupational
safety and health regulations are to be followed.

2.1.0 Transport and storage (packing and unpacking)
CAUTION
The CR module is packed in the original cardboard box; if the
module is not handled properly it may fall out of the box when
unpacking and cause injuries to limbs or squeeze your fingers.
NOTE
Consider please! This leaflet should be read by every person who
comes into contact with the module.

NOTE
The CR is manufactured in accordance with state-of the-art
technology
And the acknowledged safety regulations. However, during use,
danger to life and limb of the operator or damage to the rotary
module and other tangible material could arise.
CAUTION
The CR is designed exclusively for the rotational movement in any
required position with a torque of 0.45 Nm for CR 12 and 1.25 Nm for
CR 16 and 2.2 Nm for CR 20 which, when handled, do not react in a
way which could endanger persons, objects or the environment.
Any application beyond this is not appropriate.
The manufacturer accepts no liability for damage resulting from
improper use. The risk is borne solely by the user.

3.1.5 Intended use
The series of the CR rotary module is used for the rotary movement of rigidly
mounted loads under the ambient and Installation conditions defined for this module;
see Technical catalogue.
NOTE
These Montage Instructions should be read carefully before carrying
out any activity on or with the module.
The module may only be deployed in accordance with the intended
use.
Modifications on the module that are not described in these Montage
Instructions or have not been approved in writing by Afag are not
