1 Safety instructions
Appropriate use
The module and the connected transducers may be used for measurement and directly
related control tasks only. Any other use is not appropriate.
To ensure safe operation, the module may only be used as specified in the operating
manual. It is also essential to follow the respective legal and safety regulations for the
application concerned during use. The same applies to the use of accessories.
Each time, before starting up the modules, 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 rules
A module must not be connected directly to a power supply network. The maximum
permissible supply voltage is 10...30 V (DC).
The supply connection, as well as the signal and sense leads, must be installed in such a
way that electromagnetic interference does not adversely affect device functionality (HBM
recommendation: ”Greenline shielding design”, downloadable from the Internet at
http://www.hbm.com/Greenline).
Automation equipment and devices must be covered over in such a way that adequate
protection or locking against unintentional actuation is provided (such as access checks,
password protection, etc.).
When devices are working in a network, these networks must be designed in such a way that
malfunctions in individual nodes can be detected and shut down.
Safety precautions must be taken both in terms of hardware and software, so that a line
break or other interruptions to signal transmission, such as via the bus interfaces, do not
cause undefined states or loss of data in the automation device.

8 Safety instructions
HBM QuantumX
General dangers of failing to follow the safety instructions
The module is a state of the art device and as such is failsafe. The module may give rise to
further dangers if it is inappropriately installed and operated by untrained personnel. Any
person instructed to carry out installation, commissioning, maintenance or repair of the
module must have read and understood the Operating Manuals and in particular the
technical safety instructions.
Remaining dangers
The scope of supply and performance of the module covers only 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 remaining dangers. Prevailing regulations must be
complied with at all times. There must be reference to the remaining 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.
Working safely
Error messages should only be acknowledged once the cause of the error is removed and
no further danger exists.

9Safety instructions
HBMQuantumX
Conversions and modifications
The module must not be modified from the design or safety engineering point of view except
with our express agreement. Any modification shall exclude all liability on our part for any
resultant damage.
In particular, any repair or soldering work on motherboards (replacement of components is
prohibited. When exchanging complete modules, use only original parts from HBM.
The module is delivered from the factory with a fixed hardware and software configuration.
Changes can only be made within the possibilities documented in the manuals.
Outputs
It is essential to take safety precautions when using a module’s digital, analog or CANbus
outputs. Make sure that status or control signals do not perform any actions that result in
damage to human health or the environment.
Qualified personnel
Qualified persons means persons entrusted with the installation, fitting, commissioning and
operation of the product who possess the appropriate qualifications for their function. This
module is only to be installed and used by qualified personnel, strictly in accordance with the
specifications and the safety rules and regulations.
This includes people who meet at least one of the three following requirements:
•Knowledge of the safety concepts of automation technology is a requirement and as
project personnel, you must be familiar with these concepts.
•As automation plant operating personnel, you have been instructed how to handle the
machinery and are familiar with the operation of the modules and technologies described
in this documentation.
•As commissioning engineers or service engineers, you have successfully completed the
training to qualify you to repair the automation systems. You are also authorized to
activate, to ground and label circuits and equipment in accordance with safety
engineering standards.
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.
NOTE
The safety instructions in this document also apply to the NTX001 power supply and
the BPX001 active back plane.
