1 Safety instructions
Note
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.

Note
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
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 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

QuantumX
6 A2361-3.3_en/de
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
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

QuantumX
A2361-3.3_en/de 7
SConsequences:describes the consequences of
non-compliance
SDefense: indicates how the danger can be
avoided/bypassed.
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

QuantumX
8 A2361-3.3_en/de
interruptions to signal transmission, e.g. via the bus
interfaces, do not cause undefined states or loss of data
in the automation device.
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 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.
