2 General Safety Information RT100 Control System
Range of Application
This general safety information is generally valid for all temperature con-
trollers and control systems from Regloplas.
Intended Use
The Regloplas control system is built according to the current state of the
art and the generally accepted principles of safety engineering. The con-
trol system is intended solely for the normal use for heating and/or cool-
ing of injection and die casting moulds, extruders, calenders, mixers and
other consumers in areas in which there is no risk of explosion.
Any use beyond this shall be deemed to constitute improper use. The
manufacturer is not responsible for damage resulting from improper use;
the user is solely responsible for such risks. The control system may not
be used under other operating conditions and/or with other media, in de-
viation from our specifications, without the prior consent of Regloplas AG.
Use as intended also entails compliance with the operating, servicing and
maintenance conditions stipulated by the manufacturer. The control sys-
tem may only be operated, serviced and maintained by personnel who
are familiar with these tasks and have been instructed as to the risks.
Safety Information
General Information
The Regloplas control system is safe to operate, but this device can pose
danger to life and limb if it is used incorrectly or for a purpose other than
that intended. It should be noted that this poses risks to the life and limb
of the user or third parties, adverse effects on the equipment and other
material assets belonging to the user, and risks to the efficient operation
of the equipment.
Start-up (i.e., commencement of intended use) is prohibited until it has
been determined that the control system has been set up and wired in
accordance with the Machinery Directive (2006/42/EC). EN 60204-1
(Safety of Machinery) must also be observed.
These operating instructions must be read carefully before turning on and
operating the temperature control unit. The information regarding the in-
tended use and foreseeable misuse must be observed. Local safety
regulations must also be obeyed.
If the control system is used in combination with products by other manu-
facturers, their notices and safety regulations must also be obeyed.
Process Monitoring
In plants in which a temperature control system malfunction leads to en-
dangerment of the operating personnel or destruction of the plant, an in-
dependent process monitor that shuts down the plant securely must be
used.
