Safety instructions and measures
1 Safety instructions and measures
Intended use
The Type6111 i/p Converter is used to convert a direct current input signal into a pneumatic
output signal for measuring and control tasks. The i/p converter is particularly suitable as an
intermediate element between electric measuring devices and pneumatic controllers or be-
tween electric control devices and pneumatic control valves.
The device is designed to operate under exactly dened conditions (e.g. input signal, pres-
sure). Therefore, operators must ensure that the device is only used in applications that meet
the specications used for sizing the device at the ordering stage. In case operators intend to
use the device in other applications or conditions than specied, contact SAMSON.
SAMSON does not assume any liability for damage resulting from the failure to use the de-
vice for its intended purpose or for damage caused by external forces or any other external
factors.
ÎRefer to the technical data and nameplate for limits and elds of application as well as
possible uses.
Reasonably foreseeable misuse
The device is not suitable for use outside the limits dened during sizing and by the technical
data. Furthermore, the following activities do not comply with the intended use:
−Use of non-original spare parts
−Performing service and repair work not described in these instructions
Qualications of operating personnel
The device must be mounted, started up, serviced and repaired by fully trained and qualied
personnel only; the accepted industry codes and practices are to be observed. According to
these mounting and operating instructions, trained personnel refers to individuals who are
able to judge the work they are assigned to and recognize possible hazards due to their spe-
cialized training, their knowledge and experience as well as their knowledge of the applica-
ble standards.

Safety instructions and measures
Personal protective equipment
We recommend checking the hazards posed by the plant and the process medium being
used (e.g. uGESTIS (CLP) hazardous substance database).
ÎProvide protective equipment (e.g. safety gloves, eye protection) appropriate for the ma-
terial safety data sheet.
ÎCheck with the plant operator for details on further protective equipment.
Revisions and other modications
Revisions, conversions or other modications to the product are not authorized by SAMSON.
They are performed at the user's own risk and may lead to safety hazards, for example. Fur-
thermore, the product may no longer meet the requirements for its intended use.
Warning against residual hazards
To avoid personal injury or property damage, operators and operating personnel must pre-
vent hazards that could be caused in the device by the process medium and operating pres-
sure by taking appropriate precautions. They must observe all hazard statements, warning
and caution notes in these mounting and operating instructions, especially for installation,
start-up and service work.
Responsibilities of the operator
The operator is responsible for proper operation and compliance with the safety regulations.
Operators are obliged to provide these mounting and operating instructions as well as the
referenced documents to the operating personnel and to instruct them in proper operation.
Furthermore, the operator must ensure that operating personnel or third persons are not ex-
posed to any danger.
Responsibilities of operating personnel
Operating personnel must read and understand these mounting and operating instructions as
well as the referenced documents and observe the hazard statements, warning and caution
notes specied in them. Furthermore, the operating personnel must be familiar with the ap-
plicable health, safety and accident prevention regulations and comply with them.

Safety instructions and measures
Referenced standards and regulations
Devices with a CE marking have an EU declaration of conformity, which includes information
about the applied conformity assessment procedure. This EU declaration of conformity is in-
cluded in the appendix of these instructions (see section10.2).
For electrical installation, observe the relevant electrotechnical regulations and the accident
prevention regulations that apply in the country of use. In Germany, these are the VDE regu-
lations and the accident prevention regulations of the employers’ liability insurance.
For installation in hazardous areas, observe the relevant standards that apply in the country
of use. Standard applicable in Germany: EN60079-14: 2008 (VDE0165, Part1) Explosive
Atmospheres– Electrical Installations Design, Selection and Erection.
The maximum permissible values specied in the EC type examination certicates apply
when interconnecting intrinsically safe electrical equipment (Uior U0, lior I0, Pior P0, Ci or C0
and Li or L0).
Referenced documentation
The following documents apply in addition to these mounting and operating instructions:
−Version as eld unit: the mounting and operating instructions of the components on which
the i/p converter is mounted (valve, actuator, valve accessories, etc.)
−Safety Manual uSH6111 for use in safety-instrumented systems
1.1 Notes on possible severe personal injury
DANGER
!
Risk of fatal injury due to the formation of an explosive atmosphere.
Incorrect installation, operation or maintenance of the i/p converter in potentially explo-
sive atmospheres may lead to ignition of the atmosphere and cause death.
ÎThe following regulations apply to installation in hazardous areas: EN60079-14
(VDE0165, Part1).
ÎInstallation, operation or maintenance of the i/p converter must only performed by
personnel who has undergone special training or instructions or who is authorized
to work on explosion-protected devices in hazardous areas.

1.2 Notes on possible personal injury
WARNING
!
The i/p converter poses no hazard with possible personal injury.
ÎCheck with the plant operator for details on possible personal injury which could
be caused by the plant and ambient conditions (e.g. process medium, tempera-
ture).
1.3 Notes on possible property damage
NOTICE
!
A zero shift may occur due to shocks.
Shocks can cause a zero shift which impairs the correct functioning.
ÎProtect the device against external inuences (e.g. impact, shocks).
ÎCheck zero, if necessary (see section6).
Risk of malfunction due to failure to comply with required air quality.
An insufcient air quality may lead to the output signal not being proportional to the
input signal.
ÎMake sure that the air quality complies with the requirements (see section3.2).
ÎCheck the air lter and separator installed in the upstream air reducing station reg-
ularly.
