3.5 Residual risks
3.5.1 Explosion hazard
Despite the device's state-of-the-art design, explosion hazards cannot be entirely eliminated in
hazardous areas.
Perform all work steps in hazardous areas with the utmost care at all times !
Possible hazards ("residual risks") can be categorised according to the following causes:
Mechanical damage
The device may become damaged during transport, mounting or commissioning. This kind of
damage may, for example, render the device's explosion protection partially or completely
ineffective. This may result in explosions causing serious or even fatal injury.
Do not commission a damaged device.
Only transport the device in special transport packaging that reliably protects the device
from external influences. Observe the ambient conditions when selecting the transport
packaging (see chapter 17.1 Technical data).
Do not place any loads on the device.
Check the packaging and the device for damage. Immediately report any damage to
R. STAHL.
Store the device ideally in its original packaging in a dry place (with no condensation), and
make sure that it is stable and protected against the effects of vibrations and knocks.
Do not damage the device or seals during its installation.
Excessive heat or electrostatic charge
Operate the device only within the prescribed operating conditions (see chapter
4.7 Markings on the device and chapter 17.1 Technical data).
Mount and install the device in such a way that it is always operated within the permissible
temperature range.
Do not use the device in strong charge-generating environments.
Avoid friction and flow of particle streams.
R. STAHL recommends you equip devices used outdoors or exposed to the elements with
a protective roof or wall.
Regularly inspect the device for a material change. If you spot any changes, test or replace
the device.
Do not paint or repaint the device yourself. Do not have the paintwork touched up byanyone
other than the manufacturer.
