1 Safety instructions
Intended use
The amplifier system is to be used exclusively for measurement tasks and
directly related control tasks. Use for any purpose other than the above is
deemed to be non-designated use.
In the interests of safety, the device should only be operated as described in
the operating manuals. It is also essential to comply with the legal and
safety requirements for the relevant application during use. The same ap
plies 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 concerns personal and machine
protection.
Additional safety precautions must be taken in plants where malfunctions
could cause major damage, loss of data or even personal injury. In the
event of a fault, these precautions establish safe operating conditions.
This can be done, for example, by mechanical interlocking, error signaling,
limit switches, etc.
General dangers of failing to follow the safety instructions
The amplifier system is a state of the art unit and as such is reliable. The
device may give rise to residual dangers if it is inappropriately installed and
operated by untrained personnel.
Any person instructed to carry out installation, commissioning, maintenance
or repair of the device must have read and understood the operating
manuals and in particular the technical safety instructions.
Residual dangers
The scope of supply and performance of the amplifier system covers only a
small area of measurement technology. In addition, equipment planners,
installers and operators should plan, implement and respond to the safety
engineering considerations of measurement technology in such a way as to
minimize residual dangers. On-site regulations must be complied with at all
times. There must be reference to the residual dangers connected with
measurement technology.
