Safe operation of these products can only be guaranteed if they are properly installed,
commissioned, used and maintained by qualified personnel (see Section 1.11) in compliance with
the operating instructions. General installation and safety instructions for pipeline and plant
construction, as well as the proper use of tools and safety equipment must also be complied with.
WARNING: The maximum process fluid temperature must be suitable for use if the
unit is to be used in any potential explosive atmosphere. For the device maintenance
in a potentially explosive atmosphere, we recommend the usage of tools which do
not produce and / or propagate sparks.
1.1 Explosion Proof Warnings
Please ensure the unit is being used and installed in conformity with local, regional, and national
explosion proof environment.
- Refer to "7. Approvals"
- Explosion proof type of cables and gaskets should be used, when explosion gases are present
at the installation site.
- Power should be turned of before removing the plug.
- There is risk of explosion due to static electricity charge. Static electricity charge may develop
when cleaning the product with a dry cloth. It is imperative to avoid static electricity charge
in the hazardous environment. If cleaning the surface of the product is needed, must use a
damp cloth.
- Under certain extreme circumstances, the non-metallic parts incorporated in the enclosure of
this equipment may generate an ignition capable level of electrostatic charge. Therefore, the
equipment shall not be installed in a location where the external conditions are conducive to
the build-up of electrostatic charge on such surfaces. In addition, the equipment shall only
be cleaned with a damp cloth.
- The enclosures are manufactured from of aluminium alloy. In rare cases, ignition sources
due to impact and friction sparks could occur. This shall be considered during installation,
particularly if the equipment in installed in a zone 0 location.
- When the product is used and maintained in a dusty environment, corresponding cleaning
measures should be taken regularly to prevent the accumulation of dust on the surface, but
