Instructions for safe use
The user is obliged to take all necessary precautions before using the
bypass system.
The user may only connect elements to an intrinsically safe terminal if they
have electrical properties which are lower or equal to the properties
defined in the certificates of the assigned intrinsically safe devices.
When setting up the APEX (SILAS) pressurized cabinet with HMIs in the
front, the special installation conditions concerning impact protection
must be observed.
The APEX (SILAS) pressurized cabinet is to be installed such that the risk of
a mechanical danger is low.
The outlet must be routed to a safe area if there is a combination of dust
and gas.
The APEX (SILAS) pressurized cabinet rules out the following
applications/solutions:
The introduction of easily flammable or explosive media, so-called
containment systems
The protection of large electric motors
Accessible switch cabinets containers
Batteries / storage batteries may not be fitted in an APEX (SILAS)
pressurized cabinet. The subsequent introduction of batteries /storage
batteries is also ruled out
Exception: batteries used as support batteries for SPCs, PCs which are
smaller than 1% of the free protected volume and have a capacity of < 1.5
Ah.
In this case, the APEX (SILAS) pressurized cabinet must be labelled as
follows:

Avoidance of damage to property
Short circuit due to improper connection
An incorrect connection of the power supply will destroy the electronics and
void the warranty.
Storage at an excessively high temperature
Store the APEX (SILAS) pressurized cabinet at the intended storage
temperature since otherwise damage to the electronics or seals may occur.
Ensure adequate air conditioning at high storage temperatures.
Aggressive cleaning agents
When selecting the correct cleaning agent, it is essential that it is suitable for
use since otherwise damage may occur to seals and connections.
Combustible products are generally not permitted.
Danger to health due to improper disposal
According to the European WEEE Directive, electrical and electronic equipment
may not be disposed of with household waste. Their components must be sent
separately for recycling or disposal because toxic and hazardous components
can cause long-term damage to health and the environment if not disposed of
properly.
As consumers, you are obliged under the Electrical and Electronic Equipment
Act (ElektroG) to return electrical and electronic equipment at the end of its
serviceable life free of charge to the manufacturer, the point of sale or to public
collection points set up for this purpose. Details of this are regulated by the
respective national law. The symbol on the product, the operating instructions
or/and the packaging refers to these regulations. With this type of material
separation, recycling and disposal of old devices, you make an important
contribution to the protection of our environment.
