Safety instructions
ClipX a4643-1.0 HBM: public 5
1 Safety instructions
Read this operating manual before operating the device for the first time. Any
persons assigned to install, commission, operate or maintain the device must
have read at least the sections of the operating manual of relevance to them.
The operating manual forms part of the product. Keep it in a safe place so that it
is permanently accessible to all users. If you pass the device on to a third party,
always pass it on together with the relevant documents.
Intended use
The ClipX amplifier system is to be used exclusively for measurement tasks and
directly related control tasks (automation systems). Use for any purpose other
than the above is deemed to be non-designated use. In the interests of safety,
the device should only be operated as described in the operating manual.
The device may only be powered by a safety extra low voltage (DIN EN 61558
or VDE 0570, Safety of transformers, reactors, power supply units and combina-
tions thereof). The supply voltage must be between 10V and 30V (DC).
Conditions at the place of installation
• Protect the device from direct contact with water.
• Protect the ClipX from moisture and dampness or weather such as rain,
snow, etc.
• Do not expose the device to direct sunlight.
• Please observe the permissible maximum ambient temperatures stated in
the specifications.
• The permissible relative humidity at 31°C is 95% (non condensing); linear
reduction up to 50% at 40°C.
• It is safe to operate the ClipX up to an altitude of 2000 meters.
Conversions and modifications
The device must not be modified from the design or safety engineering point of
view except with our express agreement. In particular, any repair or soldering
work on motherboards is prohibited. The device must not be opened. The

product is delivered from the factory with a fixed hardware and software configu-
ration. Changes can only be made within the possibilities documented in the
operating manual.
Qualified personnel
This device is only to be installed and used by qualified personnel (electricians
or persons trained in electrical engineering), strictly in accordance with the
safety regulations listed here. This includes personnel who meet at least one of
the three following requirements, depending on their assigned tasks:
• Knowledge of the safety concepts of measurement and automation tech-
nology is a requirement and as project personnel, they must be familiar with
these concepts.
• As measurement or automation system operating personnel, they have
been instructed how to use the equipment. They are familiar with the opera-
tion of the equipment and technologies described in this document.
• As commissioning engineers or service engineers, you have successfully
completed the training to repair the automation systems. You are also
authorized to operate, ground and label circuits and equipment in accor-
dance with safety engineering standards.
Residual dangers
The ClipX system is a state-of-the art unit and as such is reliable. The scope of
supply and performance of the ClipX system covers only a small area of mea-
surement technology however. In addition, equipment planners, installers and
operators should plan, implement and respond to the safety engineering consid-
erations of measurement technology in such a way as to minimize residual dan-
gers. For example, automation equipment and devices must be designed in
such a way that adequate protection or locking against unintentional actuation is
provided (e.g. access controls, password protection, etc.). When devices are
working in a network, these networks must be designed in such a way that mal-
functions in individual nodes can be detected and shut down. Safety precau-
tions must be taken both in terms of hardware and software, so that a line break
or other interruptions to signal transmission do not cause undefined states or
loss of data in the automation device.
