Warning notice system
This manual contains notices you have to observe in order to ensure your personal safety, as well as to prevent
damage to property. The notices referring to your personal safety are highlighted in the manual by a safety alert
symbol, notices referring only to property damage have no safety alert symbol. These notices shown below are
graded according to the degree of danger.
DANGER
indicates that death or severe personal injury will result if proper precautions are not taken.
WARNING
indicates that death or severe personal injury may result if proper precautions are not taken.
CAUTION
indicates that minor personal injury can result if proper precautions are not taken.
NOTICE
indicates that property damage can result if proper precautions are not taken.
If more than one degree of danger is present, the warning notice representing the highest degree of danger will
be used. A notice warning of injury to persons with a safety alert symbol may also include a warning relating to
property damage.
Qualified Personnel
The product/system described in this documentation may be operated only by personnel qualified for the specific
task in accordance with the relevant documentation, in particular its warning notices and safety instructions.

Special information
NOTE
Important note for maintaining the operational safety of your plant
Plants with safety-related features are subject to special operational safety requirements on
the part of the operator. The supplier is also obliged to comply with special product
monitoring measures. For this reason, we inform you in personal notifications about product
developments and features that are (or could be) relevant to the operation of plants from a
safety perspective.
You should subscribe to the corresponding notifications in order to obtain the latest
information and to allow you to make any necessary modifications to your system.
