WARNING
Hazardous contact voltage in versions with 4-conductor extension
Danger of electrocution in case of incorrect connection.
● For the electrical connection, refer to the information in Chapter "Technical data (Page 27)".
WARNING
Improper power supply
Danger of explosion in hazardous areas as result of incorrect power supply, e.g. using direct current instead of alternating
current.
● Connect the device in accordance with the specified power supply and signal circuits. The relevant specifications can
be found in the certificates, in Chapter "Technical data (Page 27)" or on the nameplate.
WARNING
Unsafe extra-low voltage
Danger of explosion in hazardous areas due to voltage flashover.
● Connect the device to an extra-low voltage with safe isolation (SELV).
WARNING
Lack of equipotential bonding
Danger of explosion through compensating currents or ignition currents through lack of equipotential bonding.
● Ensure that the device is potentially equalized.
Exception: It may be permissible to omit connection of the equipotential bonding for devices with type of protection
"Intrinsic safety Ex i".
WARNING
Unprotected cable ends
Danger of explosion through unprotected cable ends in hazardous areas.
● Protect unused cable ends in accordance with IEC/EN 60079-14.
WARNING
Improper laying of shielded cables
Danger of explosion through compensating currents between hazardous area and the non-hazardous area.
● Only ground shielded cables that run into the hazardous area at one end.
● If grounding is required at both ends, use an equipotential bonding conductor.
WARNING
Connecting device in energized state
Danger of explosion in hazardous areas.
● Connect devices in hazardous areas only in a de-energized state.
Exceptions:
● Circuits of limited energy may also be connected in the energized state in hazardous areas.
● Exceptions for type of protection "Non-sparking nA" (Zone 2) are regulated in the relevant certificate
