What is Intended Use, What is not intended Use
A device from Interface is used for display, processing and control of processes. It must not be used
as the sole means of averting dangerous conditions on machines and systems. Machines and
systems must be designed in such a way that faulty states cannot lead to a dangerous situation for
the operating personnel (e. g. through independent limit value-switches or mechanical interlocks).
In particular, it must be ensured that a the malfunction or failure of the device does not lead to
damage to property or loss that could endanger people. It is also important to ensure that safety
precautions are not being circumvented for the safety of a plant. Emergency stop devices must
remain effective at all times.
Installation Instructions
Devices from Interface must be installed and connected in compliance with the relevant DIN and
VDE standards. They must be installed in such a way that unintentional operation is sufficiently
excluded.Topreventaninterruptionofthesupplyandsignallinesfromleadingtoan undefinedor
dangerous state, appropriate hardware and software safety precautions must be observed. Supply
and signal lines must be installed in such a way that they do not interfere with the function of the
Interface device (such as inductive or capacitive interferences).
Notes on Malfunctions, Maintenance and Repair
The device does not contain any parts that can be serviced by the user. Repairs may only be
carried out by Interface. If it can be assumed that safe operation of the device is no longer possible,
it must be put out of operation immediately and secured against unintentional operation. This
applies in particular if:
• The device is visibly damaged
• The device is no longer functional
• Parts of the appliance are loose
• The connecting lines are visibly damaged
In addition, we would like to point out that all obligations of Interface arise exclusively from the
respective purchase contract in which the warranty is conclusively stated.
1.2 Intended Use
Devices from Interface are to be used exclusively for measuring tasks and the directly associated
control tasks. Any use beyond this is considered to be improper. Legal and safety regulations must
be observed during measurement. The instrument is not a safety component in the sense of its
intended use and must be transported and stored properly. Installation and commissioning, as well
as operation and disassembly must be carried out professionally.
