1 SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Before starting up, make sure that the mains voltage and type of current stated on the
type plate match the mains voltage and type of current at the place of operation, and that
the circuit being used is adequately protected.
Important
As the device does not have its own power switch, the supply cable connected to it must
not be directly applied to the mains supply. The supply voltage must be 18 to 30 V.
According to the VDE directive, these devices must be isolatable from the grid by means of
a switching device (e.g. a power switch). It is essential to ensure that the device can be
quickly disconnected from the mains supply at any time.
The supply connection, as well as signal and sense leads, must be installed in such a way
that electromagnetic interference does not impair the instrument functions (HBM recom
mends the Greenline shielding design, available to download from http://www.hbm.com/
Greenline).
Automation equipment and devices must be installed in such a way that adequate
protection and locking against unintentional actuation is provided (e.g. access controls,
password protection, etc.).
When devices are working in a network, the network must be configured in such a way
that malfunctions in individual nodes can be detected and shut down.
Safety precautions must be taken both in terms of hardware and software, so that a line
break or other interruption to signal transmission, such as via the bus interfaces, does not
cause undefined states or loss of data in the automation equipment.
Intended use
The MP60 and MP60DP modules with the connected transducers are to be used
exclusively for measuring tasks and directly associated control tasks. Use for any
purpose other than the above is deemed improper use.
In the interests of safety, the device may only be operated as described in the operating
manual. It is also essential to comply with the legal and safety requirements for the
relevant application during use. The same applies to the use of accessories.
Each time before starting up the equipment, you must first run a project planning and risk
analysis that takes into account all the safety aspects of automation technology.
This particularly relates to protection of personal and machinery.
Additional safety precautions to establish safe operating conditions in the event of a fault
must be taken in plants where malfunctions could cause major damage, loss of data or
even personal injury.
