1 Safety instructions
Notice
The safety instructions described here also apply to the power pack NTX001
and the active backplane BPX001, BPX002 and BPX003.
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.
Notice
The module must not be connected directly to a power supply system. The
supply voltage must be 10 V … 30 V (DC).

Safety instructions
4A02361_05_Z00_01 HBM: public QuantumX
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 effects 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 back
plane.

Safety instructions
QuantumX A02361_05_Z00_01 HBM: public 5
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
If using outputs such as analog voltage, digital 5/24 V alarms or protocol sig
nals via CAN FD, EtherCAT, PROFINET or others of a module, particular at
tention must be paid to safety. Make sure that status or control signals cannot
initiate any actions that may pose a danger to persons or the environment.
Product liability
In the following cases, the protection provided for the device may be adversely
affected. Liability for device functionality then passes to the operator:
SThe device is not used in accordance with the operating manual.
SThe device is used outside the field of application described in this section.
SThe operator makes unauthorized changes to the device.
Warning signs and danger symbols
Important instructions for your safety are specifically identified. It is essential to
follow these instructions in order to prevent accidents and damage to property.
Safety instructions are structured as follows:
WARNING
Type of danger
Consequences of non-compliance
Averting the danger

Safety instructions
6A02361_05_Z00_01 HBM: public QuantumX
SWarning sign: draws attention to the danger
SSignal word: indicates the severity of the danger (see table below)
SType of danger: identifies the type or source of the danger

Danger classes as per ANSI
Warning sign, signal word Meaning
WARNING This marking warns of a potentially dangerous situ
ation in which failure to comply with safety require
ments may result in death or serious physical injury.
CAUTION This marking warns of a potentially dangerous situ
ation in which failure to comply with safety require
ments may result in slight or moderate physical injury.
Note This marking draws your attention to a situation in
which failure to comply with safety requirements may
lead to damage to property.
Working safely
The supply connection, as well as the signal and sensor 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 (e.g.
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, e.g. via the bus
interfaces, do not cause undefined states or loss of data in the automation
device.

Safety instructions
QuantumX A02361_05_Z00_01 HBM: public 7
Error messages should only be acknowledged once the cause of the error is
removed and no further danger exists.
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 (exchanging
