SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
These safety instructions do not make allowance for any
• contingencies and events which may arise during the installation,
operation and maintenance of the devices.
• local safety regulations – the operator is responsible for observing
these regulations, also with reference to the installation personnel.
DANGER!
Danger – high pressure!
• Before dismounting pneumatic lines and valves, turn off the
pressure and vent the lines.
Risk of electric shock!
• Before reaching into the device or the equipment,
switch off the
power supply and secure to prevent reactivation!
• Observe applicable accident prevention and safety regulations
for electrical equipment!
Risk of burns/risk of fire if used continuously through hot
device surface!
• Keep the device away from highly flammable substances and
media and do not touch with bare hands.
The positioners Type 8692, 8693 and 8694 were developed
with due consideration given to the accepted safety rules
and are state-of-the-art. Nevertheless, dangerous situations
may occur.
WARNING!
General Hazardous Situations.
To prevent injury, ensure that:
• the system cannot be activated unintentionally.
• installation and repair work may be carried out by authorized
technicians only and with the appropriate tools.
• after an interruption in the power supply or pneumatic supply,
ensure that the process is restarted in a defined or controlled
manner.
• the device may be operated only when in perfect condition and
in consideration of the operating instructions.
• the general rules of technology apply to application planning
and operation of the device.
NOTE!
Electrostatic sensitive components / modules!
The device contains electronic components, which react sensi-
tively to electrostatic discharge (ESD). Contact with electrostati-
cally charged persons or objects is hazardous to these compo-
nents. In the worst case scenario, they will be destroyed immedi-
ately or will fail after start-up.
• Observe the requirements in accordance with EN 61340-5-1
and 5-2 to minimize or avoid the possibility of damage caused
by sudden electrostatic discharge!
• Also, ensure that you do not touch electronic components when
the power supply voltage is present!
