ATEX - Special conditions
Observe the special conditions for the intended use of
Beckhoff fieldbus components in potentially explosive areas (directive 94/9/EU)!
WARNING
• The certified components are to be installed in a suitable housing that guaran-
tees a protection class of at least IP54 in accordance with EN 60529! The envi-
ronmental conditions during use are thereby to be taken into account!
• If the temperatures during rated operation are higher than 70°C at the feed-in
points of cables, lines or pipes, or higher than 80°C at the wire branching
points, then cables must be selected whose temperature data correspond to
the actual measured temperature values!
• Observe the permissible ambient temperature range of 0 - 55°C for the use of
Beckhoff fieldbus components in potentially explosive areas!
• Measures must be taken to protect against the rated operating voltage being
exceeded by more than 40% due to short-term interference voltages!
• The individual terminals may only be unplugged or removed from the Bus
Terminal system if the supply voltage has been switched off or if a non-
explosive atmosphere is ensured!
• The connections of the certified components may only be connected or dis-
connected if the supply voltage has been switched off or if a non-explosive at-
mosphere is ensured!
• The fuses of the KL92xx power feed terminals may only be exchanged if the
supply voltage has been switched off or if a non-explosive atmosphere is en-
sured!
• Address selectors and ID switches may only be adjusted if the supply voltage
has been switched off or if a non-explosive atmosphere is ensured!
