2.6 Safety instructions related to the product and technology

Danger of explosion while operating in explosive atmospheres!
If the system in which the product is to be installed is located in an explosive at-
mosphere, it may ignite during operation.
1. Always comply with local installation regulations.
2. Carry out tasks in non-explosive atmospheres only with a fire permit for
these tasks. Use only non-sparking tools if you still need to deal with the
presence of an explosive atmosphere.
Danger of explosion due to electrostatic charge!
Electrostatic charging on the product can cause sparks to form and presents an
explosion hazard in explosion protection zones.
Avoid electrostatic charging, e.g. by grounding the product.
u
Spark formation due to mechanical loads!
Mechanical loads lead to the formation of sparks and present an explosion haz-
ard.
1. Never twist or bend the cylinder, or mount it when it is under tension.
2. Never expose the cylinder to impacts during transportation, assembly, or
operation.
3. Install the cylinder so that it is protected from the energy of external im-
pacts to the housing that can occur during operation.
4. Avoid vibrations, e.g. by installing the system on a cushioned base.
Danger of explosion due to spark formation!
Some piston rod attachments and mounting elements permit oscillating ro-
tary or swivel movements of the cylinders. The use of these elements as a ra-
dial friction bearing with circumferential speeds above 1 m/s leads to imper-
missible heating. Overheating can cause friction sparks, which present an ex-
plosion hazard.
Make sure that the circumferential speed on the friction surfaces does not
u
exceed 1 m/s.
Improperly installed compressed air lines!
Danger of injury!
Lay the compressed air lines so that no one can trip over them.
u
Falling useful load!
With a vertical installation position of the cylinder, a suspended load can fall
when the compressed air supply is switched off.
Always secure the area below a suspended load.

2.7 Obligations of the system owner

As the owner of a system that will be equipped with ATEX cylinders, you are re-
sponsible for
• ensuring intended use,
• ensuring that operating employees receive regular training,
• ensuring that the operating conditions are in line with the requirements for
the safe use of the product,
• ensuring that cleaning intervals are determined and complied with according
to environmental stress factors at the operating site,
• ensuring that ignition hazards that develop due to the installation of system
equipment are observed,
• ensuring that no unauthorized repairs are attempted if there is a malfunction.

3 General Instructions on Equipment and Product
Damage
Mechanical loads!
Cylinder damage!
1. Do not twist or bend the cylinder, or mount it when it is under tension.
2. Avoid mechanical loads when connecting the tubing.
3. Make sure that the cylinder is not damaged by falling parts or incorrect tool
usage. Especially avoid damage to the piston rod and seals. Provide pro-
tected installation for the cylinder if necessary.
Unintended separation of the through piston rod!
If the cylinder's through piston rod is screwed-on, it may be accidentally loos-
ened during assembly.
1. Always apply opposing pressure to an acting point on the piston rod on the
same cylinder side during tightening jobs.
2. Never perform opposing countering or rotating motions on both piston rod
ends.
3. Observe the warning label.

4 Use in Explosive Areas

Cylinders with an ATEX ID on their rating plate are designed for use in explosive
areas. All exterior materials are low-spark materials.
1. Always observe the technical data and limits indicated on the rating plate,
particularly the data from the ATEX identification.
2. As the pressure medium, use compressed air generated and prepared outside
the explosive area in accordance with ISO 8537-1.
3. As the pressure medium, use only compressed air that does not corrode the
cylinder and its sealing materials.
