Safety /warning notes
Installation, maintenance and commissioning may be accomplished only by
qualified technical personnel.
For terminal connection of the device, the local regulations or VDE 0100
(Regulations of German electrotechnical Engineers) must be observed.
All field wirings must have insulation suitable for at least 250V AC. The
temperature rating must be at least 90°C (194°F).
In the case of handling by untrained personnel or handling malpractice, the
safety of the device cannot be guaranteed.

Fields of application

Level limit switch for level limit detection in powder and bulk materials.

ATEX / IEC-Ex: Further Remarks

For installation and field wiring the respectively valid installation regulations of the
respective country must be observed.
Commissioning only with closed lid.
Do not remove the lid (cover) while circuits are alive.
Before opening the lid take care, that no dust deposits or whirlings are present.
The installation has to be carried out in a way, that mechanical friction or impact
does not cause sparks between the aluminium enclosure and steel.
Cable glands:
Installation according to the regulations of the country, where the product is
installed.
Not used entries have to be closed with blanking elements certified for this
purpose.
Where applicable the factory provided parts must be used.
A strain relief must be provided for the field wiring cables, when the device is
installed with the factory
provided cable glands.
The diameter of the field wiring cable must match to the clamping range of the
cable clamp.
If other than the factory provided parts are used, following must be ensured:
The parts must have an approval adequate to the approval of the level sensor
(certificate and type of protection).
The approved temperature range must be from the min. ambient temperature of
the level sensor to the max. ambient temperature of the level sensor increased by
10 Kelvin.
The parts must be mounted according to the instructions of the supplier.
