The device may only be used indoors in a non‑explosive
atmosphere. It is designed for continuous operation between
10 °C–40 °C.
Intended use also includes:
observing the information in the document Safety information
for vacuum equipment,
observing the manual,
observing the manual of connected components,
using only approved accessories or spare parts.
Any other use is considered improper use.
2.1.2 Improper use
Incorrect use or any application which does not correspond to
the technical data may result in injury or damage to property.

Intended use
Improper use

1520901059_EN_VACUU·SELECT_V1.3_280119
Safety information
Improper use includes:
using the product contrary to its intended use,
operation under inadmissible environmental and operating condi‑
tions,
vacuum control of potentially explosive atmospheres which does
not correspond to the ATEX authorization of the sensor see
sensor rating plate,
operation despite obvious faults or defective safety devices,
usage despite incomplete assembly,
pulling plug‑in connections on the cable out of the socket,
use in mines or underground.
2.1.3 Foreseeable misuse
In addition to improper use, there are types of use which are
prohibited when handling the device:
installation and operation in potentially explosive atmospheres,
unauthorized extensions or conversions, in particular when these
impair safety,
fully exposing the device to the vacuum, immersing it in liquids,
exposing it to water spray or steam jets,
vacuum control of hot, unstable, or explosive media,
operation with sharp‑edged objects,
switching the device on/off with tools or one's foot.

Safety information
2.2.3 Personal responsibility
The safety and protection of individuals has top priority. Activities
and processes which represent a potential safety hazard are not
permitted.
Always be conscious of safety and work in a safe manner. Ob‑
serve instructions issued by the operator, and national regula‑
tions on accident prevention and industrial safety.
Use the controller only if you have understood its function
and this manual.
In the case of activities which require protective clothing, per‑
sonal protective equipment as specied by the operator is to
be worn.
2.3 Safety precautions
Products from VACUUBRAND GMBH + CO KG are subject to
stringent quality testing with regard to safety and operation. Each
product undergoes a comprehensive test program prior to deliv‑
ery.
2.3.1 Safety precautions, general
When handling contaminated parts, follow the relevant regula‑
tions and safety precautions.
Repairs are only to be carried out by the manufacturer’s Ser‑
vice Department.
Prior to any service, contamination from hazardous sub‑
stances needs to be excluded.
Please note that residual process media may pose a danger
to people and the environment. Take suitable decontamina‑
tion measures.
Before sending devices to our Service Department, you
must rst ll out a Health and Safety Clearance form, sign it
to conrm the information, and return it to us.

Safety information
2.3.2 Awareness of potential dangers
Vacuum control of critical processes
DANGER
Risk of explosion through control of critical
processes.
Depending on the process, an explosive mixture can
form in systems.
 The control of critical processes must always be su‑
pervised!
Damaged components
Damaged components, especially those which impair safety,
must be promptly replaced.
Ensure that you are not working with damaged components.
Replace defective parts immediately, e.g., a broken cable or
faulty plug.
Dangers due to electrical energy
After the controller has been switched off and disconnected from
the power supply, there may still be dangers at the plug‑in power
supply due to residual energy:
Replace the plug‑in power supply if there are any defects.
Never open the plug‑in power supply.
Service shipments
Devices which represent a potential safety hazard should be sent
in, maintained or repaired only if all hazardous contamination has
been removed.
 The form for conrming safety is available as a PDF on our
website: Health and Safety Clearance form.

2.3.3 ATEX equipment category (sensor)
Installation and potentially explosive atmospheres
The installation and operation of the operating panel in areas
where potentially explosive atmospheres can develop to a
hazardous degree is not permitted.
ATEX approval2of vacuum sensors only applies to the internal,
wetted parts of the sensor, not to its surroundings.
ATEX equipment labeling
Vacuum equipment labeled with `has ATEX approval in line
with the ATEX marking on the rating plate.
Only use the product if it is in perfect working condition.
The devices are designed for a low level of mechanical
stress and must be installed in such a way that they cannot
sustain mechanical damage from the outside.
After any work on the device, check its leak rate.
When using the device on equipment with potentially explosive
atmospheres (according to ATEX approval), modications to the
device are not permitted and will invalidate the ATEX approval.
Wetted parts attached to the device must have ATEX approval
at least equivalent to that of the device itself, and must not ad‑
versely affect the ATEX approval of the device, in particular the
temperature in the wetted area.
The use of gas ballast and/or venting valves is only permitted if
this would not normally, or only rarely, cause explosive mixtures
within the device, or do so only for a short time.
If necessary vent with inert gas.
Information on the ATEX equipment category is also available on
our website at: www.vacuubrand.com/.../Information‑ATEX
