12 Safety Instructions and references for putting into operation
–please read carefully!
12.1 Special remarks for explosive gas atmospheres areas (Zone 0, Zone 1 and Zone 2)
The increased danger within hazardous areas requires the careful attention of the safety instructions
and references for putting into operation. Observe the national safety rules and regulations for
prevention of accidents as well as the European Standard EN 60079-14 „Electrical apparatus for
explosive gas atmospheres - Part 14: Electrical installations in hazardous areas (other than mines) “.
All work for the connection, for putting into operation and maintenance is to be implemented by
qualified, responsible technical personnel. Inappropriate behaviour can cause heavy personal damage
and damages to property.
The response of the thermal motor protection must directly switch off the motor, also when used
together with converters. This must be realized in the logic section or configuration in the converter.
The tripping device may be installed only outside potentially explosive atmospheres for the protection
of explosive-protected motors. When used in potentially atmospheres, the device must comply with
