5 Safety regulations and installation
notes
5.1 Installation and operation
•The category 3 device is suitable for installation in po-
tentially explosive area zone 2. It fulfills the require-
ments of EN 60079-0:2012 and EN 60079-15:2010.
•Installation, operation, and maintenance may only be
carried out by qualified electricians. Follow the installa-
tion instructions as described. When installing and op-
erating the device, the applicable regulations and safety
directives (including national safety directives), as well
as general technical regulations, must be observed. For
the safety technology data, see this packing slip and the
certificates (EC examination certificate and other ap-
provals if appropriate).
•With the exception of configuration of the thumb wheel,
opening or modifying the device is not permitted. Do not
repair the device yourself; replace it with an equivalent
device. Repairs may only be performed by the manu-
facturer. The manufacturer is not liable for harm result-
ing from noncompliance.
•The IP20 protection (IEC 60529/EN 60529) of the de-
vice is intended for use in a clean and dry environment.
The device must not be subject to mechanical strain
and/or thermal loads, which exceed the limits de-
scribed.
•To protect the device against mechanical or electrical
damage, install it in a suitable housing with appropriate
degree of protection as per IEC60529.
•The device is not designed for use in atmospheres with
a danger of dust explosions.
•If dust is present, it is necessary to install into a suitable
approved housing, whereby the surface temperature of
the housing must be taken into consideration.
WARNING: Risk of electric shock
– Provide a switch/circuit breaker close to
the device, which is labeled as the dis-
connect device for this device or the en-
tire control cabinet.
– Provide overcurrent protection (I≤6A) in
the installation.
– Disconnect the device from all power
sources during maintenance work and
configuration (the device can remain con-
nected to SELV or PELV circuits).
– The housing of the device provides a ba-
sic insulation against the neighboring de-
vices, for 300 V eff. If several devices are
installed next to each other, this has to be
taken into account, and additional insula-
tion has to be installed if necessary. If the
neighboring device is equipped with ba-
sic insulation, no additional insulation is
necessary.
CAUTION:
Observe the following safety notes when us-
ing the device.
