1 Safety Instructions
1. 1 Designated Use
The Bulletin 836E is a pressure switch for measuring and monitoring absolute and gauge
pressures. The device has been safely built with state-of-the-art technology and meets the
applicable requirements and EC Directives. It can, however, be a source of danger if used
incorrectly or for anything other than the designated use.
1. 2 Installation, Commissioning, and Operation
Only personnel familiar with these types of products and associated machinery should plan or
implement the installation, start-up, configuration, and subsequent maintenance of the
Bulletin 836E pressure switch. Failure to comply may result in personal injury and/or equipment
damage.
1. 3 Operational Safety
• Functional safety
The Bulletin 836E pressure switches were developed according to the standards IEC 61508
and IEC 61511-1 (FDIS).
• Hazardous areas
The Bulletin 836E is not approved for use in intrinsic safety (hazardous area) applications.
1. 4 Return
Before returning a device to Rockwell Automation, be sure to remove all fluid residue. This is
particularly important if the fluid is a health hazard, e.g. flammable, toxic, caustic, carcinogenic,
etc.
ATTENTION: Do not return a measuring device if you are
not absolutely certain that all traces of hazardous substances
have been removed, e.g. substances which have penetrated
crevices or diffused through plastic.
