1 Safety instructions
Notice
The safety instructions described here also apply to the
power pack NTX001 and the active backplane BPX001
and BPX002.
Appropriate use
A module with connected transducers is to be used
exclusively for measurement tasks and Test tasks. Use
for any purpose other than the above is deemed to be
non-designated, inappropriate use.
In the interests of safety, the module should only be
operated as described in the Operating Manuals. It is
also essential to comply with the legal and safety
requirements for the application concerned during use.
The same applies to the use of accessories.
Before commissioning the module for the first time, you
must first run a project planning and risk analysis that
takes into account all the safety aspects of automation
technology. This particularly concerns personal and
machine protection.
Additional safety precautions must be taken in plants
where malfunctions could cause major damage, loss of
data or even personal injury. In the event of a fault, these
precautions establish safe operating conditions.
This can be done, for example, by mechanical
interlocking, error signaling, limit value switches, etc.

Safety instructions
QuantumXI3031-14.0 HBM: public 9
Notice
The module must not be connected directly to a power
supply system. The supply voltage must be 10 V … 30 V
(DC).
General dangers of failing to follow the safety
instructions
Every module is a state of the art device and as such is
failsafe. The module may give rise to residual dangers if
it is inappropriately installed and operated by untrained
personnel. Any person instructed to carry out installation,
commissioning, maintenance or repair of the modules
must have read and understood the Operating Manuals
and in particular the technical safety instructions.
The scope of supply and performance of the modules
only covers a small area of measurement technology. In
addition, equipment planners, installers and operators
should plan, implement and respond to the safety
engineering considerations of measurement technology
in such a way as to minimize residual dangers. On-site
regulations must be complied with at all times. There
must be reference to the residual dangers connected
with measurement technology. After making settings and
carrying out activities that are password-protected, you
must make sure that any controls that may be connected
remain in safe condition until the switching performance
of the module has been tested.

Conditions on site
For modules in the housing with degree of protection
IP20:
SProtect the modules from dirt and moisture or the ef
fects of weather such as rain, snow, etc.
SThe permissible relative humidity at 31 oC is 80%
(non-condensing); linear reduction to 50% at 40 oC.
SMake sure that the side ventilation openings are not
covered.
For all modules:
SDo not expose the modules to direct sunlight.
SPlease observe the permissible maximum ambient
temperatures stated in the specifications.
SEnsure there is adequate ventilation for installation in
the BPX001 backplane.
Maintenance and cleaning
The modules are maintenance-free. Please note the
following points when cleaning the housing:
SBefore cleaning, disconnect all connections.
SClean the housing with a soft, slightly damp (not wet!)
cloth. Never use solvent as this could damage the
labeling or the housing.
SWhen cleaning, ensure that no liquid gets into the
module or connections.
Outputs
Particular attention must be paid to safety when using the
digital, analog or CAN bus outputs of a module. Ensure
