5.1 Safety Instructions for Installation

NOTE ON EXPLOSION PROTECTION Work on the device in an explosive atmosphere is PROHIBITED! Non-compliance can result in the loss of explosion protection.

 Only allow instructed personnel to work in potentially explosive atmospheres.

 The personal protective equipment must satisfy the requirements of explosion protection.

 Do not use a tool that could create sparks.

DANGER

Danger of ignition in potentially explosive atmosphere due to potential differences! When filling and emptying containers with liquids, when recirculating, stirring, mixing and spraying liquids and also when implementing measuring, sampling and cleaning work, the liquids themselves or the interior of the container can be provided with a hazardous charge. Differences in potential (e.g. electrostatic charge) can cause igniting sparks or heat, which can act as an ignition source. There is a risk of death or severe physical injury.

 Only clean electrically conductive containers.

 Make sure that an electrostatic charge is prevented. Also ensure that all the electrically conductive parts on the device and the container must be grounded for potential equalization to the same potential using grounding cables with a sufficient diameter!

 The grounding must always be implemented before commissioning of the device.

 Avoid grounding faults (e.g. subsequent grounding of already charged objects or equipment).  Do not secure or seal mechanical connections with electrical insulating materials (such as sealing tape, sealant, adhesive, etc.), if it impairs the grounding of the device on the container. Within potentially explosive areas, a potential equalization is required. “All conduc tive parts of the device and the container must be assembled in such a way that no dangerous potential differences can occur between them. If there is a possibility that insulated metal parts can be recharged and thereby act as an ignition source, earthing connections must be provided” (Excerpt from DIN EN 13463-1 “Non -electrical equipment intended for use in potentially explosive atmospheres - Part 1 Basic concepts and requirements”, section 6.7.2 Grounding connections for conductive parts).
