1.9 Notes related to the CE marking
CE marking is effected following the require-
ments of the applied directives:
○2014/34/EU
Directive relating to equipment and
protective systems for use in explosive
atmospheres (ATEX)
○2014/30/EU Electromagnetic
compatibility
○2011/65/EU (RoHS II) Directive on the
restriction of the use of certain hazardous
substances in electrical and electronic
equipment
Reference on Pressure Equipment Directive
2014/68/EU
Because of its performance data the product
does not achieve the limit values defined in
Article 4 (1) (a) (ii) and is therefore excluded
from the scope of application of Pressure
Equipment Directive 2014/68/EU following
Article 1 (2) (f).
1.10 Explosion protection marking accor-
ding to ATEX directive 2014/34/EU
The ignition hazard analysis carried out
in accordance with EN ISO 80079-36 /
-37:2016 has shown that the metering
devices without electrical attachments
described in these instructions have no
potential ignition sources of their own. They
therefore do not fall within the scope of Di-
rective 2014/34/EU and do not have any ex-
plosion protection marking. The combination
of the described metering devices with the
electrical Ex components specified in these
instructions does not create any additional
ignition source. The explosion protection
marking on these metering devices is based
exclusively on the mounted electrical Ex
component.

to be checked at regular intervals for com-
pleteness and function.
○If protective and safety equipment has to
be dismantled, it must be reassembled
immediately after finishing the work, and
then checked for correct function.

1.19 Special safety instructions
regarding explosion protection
○Always behave so that explosion hazards
are avoided.
○A written work approval from the opera-
tor is required prior to working in poten-
tially explosive areas. Keep unauthorized
persons away
○There must be no indications that parts
of the explosion protection are missing or
are not working. Should such indications
become apparent, switch off the machine
and inform a superior without delay.
○Measures for explosion protection
must never be deactivated, modified or
bypassed.
○Transport damages can result in the loss
of the explosion protection. If transport
damages can be seen, do not assemble
the product nor put it into operation.
○It is forbidden to bring in ignition sources
such as sparks, open flames and hot sur-
faces in potentially explosive areas.
○Check the machine at regular intervals
in line with the operating conditions for
damage which may represent an ignition
risk as well as with regard to correct func-
tioning. An inspection must be carried out
every 12 months at the latest.
○The ignition temperature of the ambient
explosive gas and vapour atmospheres
must be greater than 125 % of the maxi-
mum surface temperature.
○The minimum ignition and glow tem-
perature of the ambient explosive dust
atmospheres must be greater than 150 %
of the maximum surface temperature
○The limits of use related to explosion pro-
tection are clearly defined by the device
categories, gas and dust groups as well
as temperature classes stated in the ex-
plosion protection marking. In any case,
also if dust group IIIC is specified, light-
metal dusts as explosive ambient media
are prohibited
○An emergency lubrication via the lubrica-
tion fitting for SSV-E, SSVD-E metering
devices may only be carried out if the
pump is earthed to the same potential or
if it is ensured that no explosive atmos-
phere is present.
○The product may be cleaned only, if there
is no potentially explosive atmosphere
○The ignition temperature of the lubricant
must lie at least 50 K over the maximum
surface temperature of the components.
○In case of products without electrical fill-
ing level control make sure to check the
lubricant filling level at regular intervals
○Only use tools and clothing which are
permitted for use in potentially explosive
areas (ESD).

○Transport, installation, repairs and work
on electrical components may only be
carried out, if it has been ensured that the
atmosphere is not potentially explosive.
○Repairs or modifications to machines
which are protected against explosions
may be carried out only by the manufac-
turer or by a workshop recognized by a
named institution and confirmed in writ-
ing. If the work is not carried out by the
manufacturer, the repairs must be ap-
proved by a named expert and confirmed
in writing. The repairs are to be marked
by a repair sign on the machine, stating
the following:
- Date
- Executing company
- Type of repair
- If applicable, expert's code
○All parts of the earthing concept must be
correctly available and connected with the
superordinate machine.
○If transport lugs are dismantled after
set-up, the threaded bores must be per-
manently sealed in accordance with the
protection class.
○Handle the materials so that no sparks
generated by tilting, falling, sliding, rub-
bing, impacting, etc. If needed, cover
materials with suitable means.
○Never disconnect plug-in connections
when energized. Secure plug-in connec-
tions against inadvertent manual discon-
nection with the safety clips.
○When mounting the metering devices at
the place of use, the equipotential bond-
ing must be ensured by a conductive,
sufficiently large metallic contact with the
add-on parts and the superior machine.
○Avoid dust accumulation and remove
dust immediately. Dust accumulations
have a thermally insulating effect and, if
whirled up, generate the formation of a
potentially explosive atmosphere.
○The product must be integrated in the
operator's lightning protection concept.
○All parts are to be checked regularly for
corrosion. Replace the affected parts.
○Terminal boxes must be firmly closed and
the cable breakthroughs correctly sealed.
○Additional electrical monitoring devices
must be firmly connected and correctly
adjusted.
